House rules,
=No need to reroll for critical but fails you can. if you reroll above 10, no mods, on the dice it will only be a +1 not a total fail
=Critical only counts for saves and attacks, skills are not an auto-success.
=Stealing this one from Yurro, the feats that give you a +2 in a skill give you that skill as a class-skill.
=Psionic's and Magic are part of the same tree, So spells like Anti-magic/anti-psionic, work against the other just as well, as they work against their own.
=Spellcasters that prepare spells may spontaneously cast Cantrips and Orisons. Normal daily limits still apply.
=Animal Companion/Familiar/Etc: Stat-out these if you have one, either make a second character sheet for one or place it in the other notes section.
=I am going to Try Craft points out. Also no matter what your Class-Skill list says you are given Profession and Craft as skills
KNOWLEDGE (INT; TRAINED ONLY) Wrote:
KNOWLEDGE (Int; Trained Only)
Like the Craft and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills. Knowledge represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline.
Below are listed typical fields of study.
• Arcana (ancient mysteries, magic traditions, arcane symbols, cryptic phrases, constructs, dragons, magical beasts)
• Architecture and engineering (buildings, aqueducts, bridges, fortifications)
• Dungeoneering (aberrations, caverns, oozes, spelunking)
• Geography (lands, terrain, climate, people)
• History (royalty, wars, colonies, migrations, founding of cities)
• Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, humanoids)
• Nature (animals, fey, giants, monstrous humanoids, plants, seasons and cycles, weather, vermin)
• Nobility and royalty (lineages, heraldry, family trees, mottoes, personalities)
• Religion (gods and goddesses, mythic history, ecclesiastic tradition, holy symbols, undead)
• The planes (the Inner Planes, the Outer Planes, the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, outsiders, elementals, magic related to the planes)
Check: Answering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).
In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster.
For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.
You can attempt a Knowledge check to give yourself an advantage in a situation. You may attempt one such check per day for each Knowledge skill in which you have ranks. A basic check (DC 20) gains you a +1 competence bonus to AC, attack rolls, damage rolls, or the save DCs of your spells against one particular opponent , or a +2 competence bonus to one saving throw against a particular effect (a certain wizard's spells, poison, or to avoid traps, for example), or a +2 competence bonus to one skill check to accomplish a particular task. A DC (30) check increases these bonuses to +2/+4/+4 respectively. You must specify the opponent, effect or task upon making the check, and the bonuses last until the conditions are met or a day passes, whichever comes first. You must describe how your knowledge produces these results; a knowledge skill which is incompatible with a particular result increases the check DC by +10, at the DM’s discretion. If you fail the Knowledge check, you may not attempt to gain an advantage through that Knowledge skill for the rest of the encounter, though you may still use a different Knowledge skill or use the failed skill in following encounters until a successful check is made.
Action: Usually none. In most cases, making a Knowledge check doesn’t take an action—you simply know the answer or you don’t. Making a Knowledge check to grant yourself a situational advantage is a free action.
Try Again: Not usually. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn’t let you know something that you never learned in the first place. However, you may retry if your skill bonus has increased since your last attempt.
Synergy: If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (arcana), you get a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (architecture and engineering), you get a +2 bonus on Search checks made to find secret doors or hidden compartments.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (geography), you get a +2 bonus on Survival checks made to keep from getting lost or to avoid natural hazards.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (history), you get a +2 bonus on bardic knowledge checks.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (local), you get a +2 bonus on Gather Information checks.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (nature), you get a +2 bonus on Survival checks made in aboveground natural environments (aquatic, desert, forest, hill, marsh, mountains, or plains).
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (nobility and royalty), you get a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion), you get a +2 bonus on turning checks against undead.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (the planes), you get a +2 bonus on Survival checks made while on other planes.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (dungeoneering), you get a +2 bonus on Survival checks made while underground.
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Survival, you get a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) checks.
Untrained: An untrained Knowledge check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, you know only common knowledge (DC 10 or lower), and you cannot try and gain a situational advantage.

Description/Image: Laucian
Laucien Xinoscient, a unique individual in every sense of the word. Even among his own society of druids and home tribe, he is a being that splits the mold cleanly in half. Despite his feelings of not fitting in anywhere, Laucien seems to bear a smile that rarely leaves his face.
Laucien is the son of a human druid (his mother) and a wild elf barbarian (his father). Though he wasn't exactly abused or neglected, Laucien still felt a sense of being different, and thus, a sense of rejection from his comrades in the wild due to that difference. Even his connection to the natural world seemed abnormal, even if you tried to blend the druid and the barbarian classes together. He displayed neither the affinity for animals his mother had, nor the raw savagery of his father. His father initially feared he had fathered a weakling, and his mother feared that the boy would wind up rejecting his life altogether.
That changed when a predator entered the village and ran away with a toddler in tow. Laucien displayed unchecked primal fury that day mixed in with the cool, calculating precision of the predator he faced. The animal was beaten to the brink of death with a large club Laucien had simply ripped from a tree in a sudden burst of adrenaline and fury. The half-elf then returned to the village, scratched up severely, but triumphant.
Everyone was impressed with the boy, at least for the time being. On that day, Laucien's mother began training him as a druid, and his father trained him to harness his fury and use it as a weapon. This, combined with Laucien's unorthodoxy in the wild, ended up creating a new kind of adventurer entirely.
By the time he was 25, Laucien had become the best hunter in his tribe, as well as a passable druid in their society. He left his forest after he turned 26, and has been adventuring ever since then. He has yet to discover anything that has proven to be a great challenge. He is trying to obtain his next level so he can create a Bogun (detailed in Monster Manual 2) for use as a spy.

Mayfleet
Milos Fletcher isn't the son of some aristocrat, or someone in a position of any sort of political power. He is an ex-military man from a small cell of Battle Sorcerers. After his unit was wiped out in a battle, Milos has been reported as dead, though his superiors are still looking for his "body."
Milos traces his ancestry back to a Silver Dragon, though the only indication of this is his sorcerous blood. He was raised by the mayor of a small town, which allowed him the money to study the arts of magic. However, Milos didn't click with this "book learning," eventually dropping out of the magic academy at age 18. This left him with a less-open range of careers to pursue afterwards.
Milos was enlisted in his nation's military. There, he was trained in the use of simple weaponry, as well as the Musket and Handaxe. Among his comrades in arms, Milos seemed to be the most combat-oriented, often using his weapons judiciously before following up with a spell and closing the distance for a melee fight.
Milos's war was scarier than he'd thought. As he fought furiously on the battlefield, he could hear his comrades being blown away left and right. Milos wonders to this day how he managed to steal a horse and run away after his unit was entirely decimated, leaving him as the sole survivor to tell their story.
After his desertion, Milos began adventuring on the back of his stolen horse, which he christened Mayfleet. At first, their relationship was mostly the same as any other horse and rider, but eventually, Milos felt a deep connection awaken between him and his equestrian companion. Milos took Mayfleet as an Animal Companion three years after his initial escape from the army.
