Background
Scavatch Facebiter is a member of the Bonegnawer Tribe of gnomes that reside in The Red Wood. Scav (as his friends call him) served his tribe as a warrior and fletcher, helping drive off raiding giants and fey.
Recently though Scav has been scouting farther from home, and has learned that there is good trading to be had among the people of Scott's Bluff.
Scav has made a fortune (by his people's standards) serving as a guide for adventurers and merchant caravans, guiding them safely through The Red Wood and even on the occaisonal trip near Jakarta.
Sacv is mostly a good soul, but his almost feral upbringing shows through. He is aware that "civilized people" find him abrasive and almost stupid, and as such he keeps his tongue in check around them. Once these city slickers get into his environment though they quickly learn that Scav is far from ignorant, it's just that his education has been more of the practical kind.

Tinner: I haven't selected the characters yet (next week, I'm thinking), so any submission is good.
Scav seems to be missing some feats (1/level in this game). Also, don't forget about the Reserve Points and the extra skill points at 1st level (I didn't count up your skill points to see if you'd done this yet).
Jdvn1: The PrC looks fine to me. But your character is an elf right? Which means that he cannot take levels in that PrC. <confused>
Reserve Points: Your Reserve Points equal your Hit Points. They are used to heal hit point damage on a 1:1 basis at the rate of 1 per minute of rest.
Cure Spells heal Hit Points first and then Reserve Points. A Heal spell restores both Hit Points and Reserve Points.
Basically, Reserve Points let you go longer w/out resting up (enabling more encounters in a day).

Oh, Tinner, as a flavor issue, all the residents of the Red Wood use obsidian weapons. You don't *have* to, but you can use them if you like (metal IS more resistant to sundering). They have breakage issues when they're non-magical but Slashing & Piercing weapons do an extra point of damage.
Where people get obsidian in the middle of a huge forest is a mystery. Assume that Scav never bothered to find out.
And, for reference, think of the Red Wood as a standard temperate forest... scaled for Huge creatures (so gnomes are really small there; an advantage!)

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
Oh, nonono. Two different character concepts. One is an Elf Rogue/Fighter that'd go into Nightsong Enforcer PrC from Complete Adventurer. The other is a Dwarf Fighter that'd go into the Battlesmith PrC.Lobo Lurker said:
Since I had made the Elf once before, I figured I'd show you a bit of what he was like.

Whoops! I forgot the feats & skills. That should be corrected now.

I swapped all his weapons for obsidian weapons, aside from the silver dagger. Never know when I might need to gut a were-critter, right? Is there any added cost for this? Or is it just a enefit for living in the Red Woods?

Appearance/Personality
Arvad is a relatively young man by half-elven standards at 40. His blond hair is worn short and he is clean shaven. His features are sharp with the pointed ears and sharp jaw of his Elven heritage. On his breast he wears a cunningly wrought copper leaf whose patina gives it a natural green color, while small clear gems appear as drops of dew. He wears colorful clothing over a light chain shirt and an impressive collection of weapons when working as an ‘adventurer’. He wears a beautifully made matched pair of Elven swords, one light and one heavier. They have full basket hilts with a leaf motif that is carried into the scabbards making them appear almost like a draping of ivy at Arvad’s waist. A cold iron morning star and dagger protruding from boot tops are also part of his adventuring gear along with a leather bandoleer stuffed with small vials and other strange items. A quiver on his back also bristles with weapons. He is rarely seen with a large battered artist’s case filled of paints, inks and other supplies. He is friendly and quickly starts a conversation with everyone he meets. He likes to avoid conflict and is often the peacemaker for his friends. He rides a roan, almost red, warhorse that he calls 'Cinnabar' after the red pigment he uses in painting.
History
Arvad was raised by his father a human scribe in the court of Thracia. He hardly remembers his mother. His father would say little of her other than that she had to return to distant elven lands. Young Arvad flourished at court. He was a talented painter and carver of wood. He was often asked to paint portraits of nobles and his conversational skills allowed him to learn much that was secret. However, he unwisely started using this information to influence things at court. He tried to help out friends and play the negotiator and peacemaker. Unfortunately, he did not gage the mood of the king and his chief advisors well. He soon found himself helping to make things happen that went against the plans of the King. A careful plot was hatched against him. It was arranged for him to be found in the arms of a married nude noblewoman he had been commissioned to paint. Charges of treason against the crown were also levied against him. A fellow scribe told his father of the charges before Arvad was arrested. His father used his contacts among the servants to get Arvad out of the palace before he could be found. He left with only his art supplies, the clothes on his back and his inheritance from his mother—the pair of enchanted elven swords and the mithral chain shirt. This was ten years ago. Arvad fled west into the frontier and eventually found his way to Scott’s Bluff. People here do not know that there is a price on his head in Thracia. He tried to establish himself as an artist and courtier once more, but was unable to find a wealthy patron. He soon found that he could do better using his other talents and the gifts of his mother. He began working as a guard and adventurer just to make a little money. He was fairly successful and was fortunate enough to join a stalwart band of local adventurers. He still sees himself as an artist rather than a heroic adventurer, but he enjoys the excitement and profit to be had. His amiable nature and some work as a painter has allowed him to meet many of the local people, especially the politicians and nobles. In addition to prominent citizens, he has painted the ruined tribecan fortress (from a distance) as well as the trees of the Redwood and the wastes of the Lyssan empire. He often paints the strange creatures he has encountered in the wild.

Inquisitor Marcus Celestius
Male Outsider (Chaotic Good) - Ghaele (6th Level)
[sblock]
[/sblock]
Appearance:
At first glance it's differcult to determine what race Marcus belongs too, Marcus
has the handsome refined features of an elf, but the stocky musculature of a well
built human, also his pupilless eyes are an unusual cobolt blue, all of this give
Marcus an outerworldly aspect that most find either beguiling or disturbing.
Background:
Marcus is an ophan and was found upon the steps of the [insert name] Ophanage,
Marcus was an attractive popular boy who shouldn't have had a problem being
adopted out to a good family, but there was always something'unsettling' about
Marcus, which seemed to put off any prospective parents.
At a young age Marcus began to realise he was different from the other children,
not only could he see in the dimest light he also discovered oneday that he
could actually see when there was no light at all. Couple that with the
phenomial speed at which he could walk or run, and the strange powers he could
summon with a thought, it was only a matter of time before it came to the attention
of the adults.
Not knowing what to do with Marcus, the Orphanage sought the advice of the
Church of [insert name], it wasn't long before the priest began to suspect that
Marcus had Celestial blood somewhere in his makeup. Once this discovery was
made the Church petitioned the Ophanage for custody of Marcus.
Thus it was at the tender age of 8 that Marcus came into the care of the Church
and began his religous studies. Marcus natuarally excelled at his studies and it
soon became apparent that Marcus had the potential to do much good for the Church.
Due to Marcus' combinations of skills, Marcus soon began training as a church
Inquisitor, in particular he was tasked with hunting down an destroying evil
spellcasters.
Marcus is on the trail of a particularly evil wizard called [insert name], so far
his investigation has lead him to the small town of Scott's Bluff.

At first glance it's differcult to determine what race Marcus belongs too, Marcus
has the handsome refined features of an elf, but the stocky musculature of a well
built human, also his pupilless eyes are an unusual cobolt blue, all of this give
Marcus an outerworldly aspect that most find either beguiling or disturbing.
Background:
Marcus is an ophan and was found upon the steps of the [insert name] Ophanage,
Marcus was an attractive popular boy who shouldn't have had a problem being
adopted out to a good family, but there was always something'unsettling' about
Marcus, which seemed to put off any prospective parents.
At a young age Marcus began to realise he was different from the other children,
not only could he see in the dimest light he also discovered oneday that he
could actually see when there was no light at all. Couple that with the
phenomial speed at which he could walk or run, and the strange powers he could
summon with a thought, it was only a matter of time before it came to the attention
of the adults.
Not knowing what to do with Marcus, the Orphanage sought the advice of the
Church of [insert name], it wasn't long before the priest began to suspect that
