Let me know if they're okay or if I should change anything else. [sblock=Changes]Traded Medium and Heavy Armor Proficiency and Shield Proficiency for Dodge and Mobility feats. Traded Proficiency with all Martial weapons for bonus feat (Improved Trip). Traded class skills Craft, Decipher Script, and all Knowledge except Arcana for Tumble as a class skill. I also rearranged some skill points (removed 1 from Climb, Ride and Swim each, placed them into Jump) and swapped all the skill points that were in Decipher Script for Tumble (4 ranks). And, I changed his background as requested. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
