Signature Attack
Uncanny Shot: Due to years of dilligent hunting practice, Detheriel is able to place an arrow carefully in a target that others would find near-impossible. This shot automatically hits and causes double damage.
Its use is subject to a number of conditions:
(i) There must be no enemies either threatening him or in the immediate area to allow him to concentrate.
(ii) He must not be distracted for a period of half a minute whilst he carefully aims.
(iii) He must not carry any injuries other than superficial ones - injury would distract his concentration.

Appearance & Personality:
Detheriel stands about 6 feet tall and is a fairly slim but muscular male. His hair is cut very short but somehow still manages to appear slightly unkempt. His blue eyes twinkle in a merry face that the elements have aged beyond his years; unremarkable in all respects apart from a tiny, almost ornate, scar on his left cheek.
Given his life of relative solitude, he loves hearing the idle chatter of other humans but finds peace in the wilds that have been his home for so long and is quick to anger at acts of wanton cruelty or destruction towards nature. He is very proud of his abilities and enjoys using them to help others in need and also rather enjoys (perhaps too much) the gratitude earned in the process. He is not a loud person, preferring to listen to the conversation rather than join in, but he does enjoy a good joke and some ale when it's available.
He dresses in dull browns, favouring leather garments. His satchel is hung over his head by a strap and appears to also be tethered to the back of his wide leather belt, whilst his bedding is strapped to the back of the satchel. A long curved dagger with an ornately engraved blade is hung from a scabbard at his side whilst a small money purse hangs from the other side. His bow is either carried in his right hand or slung over his shoulder and a quiver containing long feathered arrows is also slung across his back next to the satchel.
Background
Detheriel was born in the remote farming village of Maisengall some thirty years ago. The first few years of his life were happy, living with his mother, father and older sister on their smallholding. At the age of eight a series of droughts brought much hardship to their community. As their produce dwindled, hunger asserted itself and gradually drove his father to the bottle. His father lost interest in his work and the situation of their smallholding deteriorated still further under his worsening management.
He lost his mother to a fever one winter at the age of eleven and, as soon as his sister was married a couple of years later, Detheriel ran away from what was fast becoming an abusive home. He quickly learned how to scavenge enough food to survive and in time became proficient with the simple weapons he carried, using his bow to fell animals in the forest.
Feeling the loneliness of isolation, he embarked upon a nomadic existence, moving through the wilds almost at random, helping those in need and slaying those who preyed on the innocent. Such a lifestyle sustains him to this day.
Hope the skill points are ok - I've balanced taking six adepts at the cost of only having two skills at mastery level. His signature attack is powerful, but I think I've imposed suitably draconian restrictions on its use to make it reasonable.

Edit:
After posting a bit I thought it might be helpful if his personality could be expanded upon here.
He's fundamentally a 'good' character. Whilst events like the opression of the populace witnessed so far will make him coldly angry, he prefers to assess the situation before taking action. He is mild-mannered usually, not prone to lose his temper and generally tries to avoid conflict within groups. He is quite content to follow another leader, so long as he feels he has sufficient influence to ensure the group arrives at the decisions that he wanted.
He has many character flaws too - not least that he can be prone to flashes of jealousy. He also gets irritated when things are not proceeding along what he perceives to be the 'correct' course of action and generally has low opinions of those he thinks aren't practical or 'wise to the ways of the world'. In the interests of avoiding overt conflict in the group he would usually hide these feelings.
He is a practical sort of man, as you might expect from a lifetime of living outdoors, and has little patience for the fineries of civilised life (or indeed little knowledge of them either!). Occasionally you may therefore notice him interacting clumsily with others.
5 unused XP outstanding.
