Class Features
The following class features pertain to the Velin Guardian advanced class.
Guardian Reputation
Beginning at 1st level the Velin Guardian receives a +2 bonus to all Charisma-based skills when interacting with velin; such is the reputation of the Guardians. If the Velin Guardian does something to betray the Guardians or the velin people, such as conspire against them with known enemies, the Velin Guardian will be hunted by his comrades and cannot take more levels in this advanced class until he finds some way to atone. This is unlikely though, since the velin do not forgive treachery easily.
Oathbound
At 1st level the Velin Guardian gains the Oathbound feat. This feat may only be applied to a Velin Tribal Allegiance or the Velin Tribal Council allegiance.
Region Familiarity
At 2nd, a Velin Guardian becomes very familiar with a specific geographic region. Usually, this is the region inhabited by the Velin Guardian’s tribe. This region should be no more than 10,000 square miles and contain no more than 100,000 people. The region should be a recognizable area, such as the lands surrounding Roger’s Point, the Bergan Lowlands, or the Northern Resource Zone. When traveling in this region, the Velin Guardian receives a +2 competence bonus to Barter, Gather Information, Knowledge (Local), Navigate, and Survival skill checks.

Weapon Specialization
At 7th level, a Velin Guardian gains weapon specialization with a specific melee or ranged weapon that he has applied the Weapon Focus feat to, e.g., kertaff spear. He gets a +2 bonus on damage rolls with the chosen weapon.
Sworn Enemy (Vaasi)
At 8th level, a Velin Guardian receives special training for fighting against the vaasi and learns much of the lore the velin have about this evil race.

Additionally, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against vaasi creatures.
Greater Weapon Specialization
