Reve Thaw
Elven Magic-User/Thief (Elf Wizard 5)
Picture:
(minus the horns)
Description:
Reve and Felf hail from a distant land, although they won’t tell you which one (spoiler alert: it's Nidal). They left home more than a hundred years ago, when Reve was just reaching adulthood. Felf was still a child. It’s been so long that Felf now remembers Reve’s stories of their homeland more clearly than the place itself.
They did not flee their home voluntarily, and they have been hunted, on and off, since their departure. In the intervening century or so, they have wandered through many lands, always keeping their distance from their former home. However, Reve's interest in ancient Thassilon draws her back to nearby Varisia and its attendant dangers with some frequency.
Reve was always weak, but brilliant, and though she took care of Felf in the early days, the younger elf soon began to do a greater share of the mundane tasks, and to carry a greater portion of their mutual supplies. This left Reve free to pursue her studies of magic, particularly the ancient magic traditions of the Thassilonians. Reve soon came to depend on her magic, and on Felf, more and more.
She did, however, lead the two on numerous expeditions to caves and ruins, rumored to hold more secrets of that ancient empire. It seems her purpose in doing so goes beyond the mere study of their methods, though she has spoken only to Felf about what connection their search bears to their original escape.

Wis 12
Cha 8

Hit Points: 24/24

Type: Humanoid (Elf)
Racial Abilities, Feats and Traits:
Elven Immunities: Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and gain a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.
Elven Magic: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance. In addition, elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Spellcraft skill checks made to identify the properties of magic items.
Arcane Focus: Some elven families have such long traditions of producing wizards (and other arcane spellcasters) that they raise their children with the assumption each is destined to be a powerful magic-user, with little need for mundane concerns such as skill with weapons. Elves with this racial trait gain a +2 racial bonus on concentration checks made to cast arcane spells defensively.
Darkvision: Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a drow in the elf's ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf's home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell.
Feats:
Scribe Scroll (wizard bonus feat)
Leadership (level 3 selected feat)
Breadth of Experience (level 5 selected feat)
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Knowledge and Profession skill checks, and can make checks with those skills untrained.
Fast Study (level 5 wizard discovery)
Benefit: Normally, a Wizard spends 1 hour preparing all of her spells for the day, or proportionately less if she only prepares some spells, with a minimum of 15 minutes of preparation. Thanks to mental discipline and clever mnemonics, you can prepare all of your spells in only 15 minutes, and your minimum preparation time is only 1 minute.
Additional Traits (level 1 selected feat)
Benefit: You gain two character traits of your choice (for a total of four).
Trait 1: Exiles
Reve and Felf did not leave their homeland on good terms, and as a result, they’ve learned to watch their backs at all times. They each gain a +1 trait bonus to Perception, and it is always a class skill for them.
Trait 2: Hunted/Hunters
Reve and Felf have more experience being hunted than they’d like, but they’ve learned how to get away safely, and how to ambush those who come after them. They each gain a +1 trait bonus to Stealth, and it is always a class skill for them.
Trait 3: Ruin Delver
Reve’s obsession with the Ancient Thassilonians has led her into all manner of decrepit and dangerous ruins. As a result, she is quite familiar with many sorts of traps, locks, and other mechanical obstacles that endure to this day. She gains a +1 trait bonus to Disable Device, and it is always a class skill for her.
Trait 4: Sacred Touch
Reve was exposed to a potent source of positive energy as a child. She doesn’t like to talk about it. As a standard action, she can automatically stabilize a dying creature merely by touching it.

Racial Abilities, Feats and Traits:
Elven Immunities: Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and gain a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.
Silent Hunter: Elves are renowned for their subtlety and skill. Elves with this racial trait reduce the penalty for using Stealth while moving by 5 and can make Stealth checks while running at a –20 penalty (this number includes the penalty reduction from this racial trait). This racial trait replaces elven magic.
Weapon Familiarity: Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.
Darkvision: Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a drow in the elf's ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf's home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell.
Feats:
Combat Reflexes (level 1 fighter bonus feat)
Benefit: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus (2, for 3 total). With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Stand Still (level 1 selected feat)
Benefit: When a foe provokes an attack of opportunity due to moving through your adjacent squares, you can make a combat maneuver check as your attack of opportunity. If successful, the enemy cannot move for the rest of his turn. An enemy can still take the rest of his action, but cannot move. This feat also applies to any creature that attempts to move from a square that is adjacent to you if such movement provokes an attack of opportunity.
Bodyguard (level 2 fighter bonus feat)
Benefit: When an adjacent ally is attacked, you may use an attack of opportunity to attempt the aid another action to improve your ally’s AC. You may not use the aid another action to improve your ally’s attack roll with this attack.
In Harm’s Way (level 3 selected feat)
Benefit: While using the aid another action to improve an adjacent ally’s AC, you can intercept a successful attack against that ally as an immediate action, taking full damage from that attack and any associated effects (bleed, poison, etc.). A creature cannot benefit from this feat more than once per attack.
Bravery
Starting at 2nd level, a fighter gains a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.
Armor Training
Starting at 3rd level, a fighter learns to be more maneuverable while wearing armor. Whenever he is wearing armor, he reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by his armor by 1. In addition, a fighter can also move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor.
