Feats:
Point Blank Shot (Combat):
+0: +3 to ranged attacks within 30'.
+1: Add BaB to damage with ranged attacks within one range increment.
+6: Ranged attacks don't provoke an AoO.
+11: Make ranged AoOs within 30' (doesn't apply to movement).
+16: Full attack: Make one attack roll, check against every single opponent within one range increment. Only one attack.
Sniper (Combat):
+0: Range increments increase by 50%, benefits of being within 30' are kept out to 60'.
+1: As Precise Shot (no -4 for firing into melee).
+6: Ranged attacks ignore all cover but total cover.
+11: Opponents struck by your ranged attacks do not know what square the attack originated from.
+16: Any ranged weapon attack is a critical threat. If your weapon has a 19-20 threat range, increase its critical multiplier by 1.
Rapid Shot: Make one extra ranged attack as part of a full-attack, all attacks that round are at -2.
Natural Empath (Skill):
0: +3 to Sense Motive.
4: Sense Motive check opposed by Bluff to gauge an opponent's relative challenge.
9: Sense Motive opposed by Bluff to determine alignment, beating DC by 20 or more reads surface thoughts.
14: Auto-detect remote scrying effects, opposed Sense Motive/Bluff reveals some details about them. Also works on someone influenced by enchantments (opposed by controller's Bluff).
19: Make an opposed Sense Motive/Bluff check whenever someone attacks you. If successful, you get a surprise round.
Darkstalker (item bonus): Creatures with special senses have to roll to find you anyway.
Special Abilities:
Death Attack (Ex): By studying an opponent for a round in which they would be denied their Dexterity bonus to AC, then attacking within one round (in which the opponent is denied their Dexterity bonus to AC), Marlowe deals 10d6 extra points of damage. If he makes a full attack, every attack in the round gains this damage. Boom headshot, etcetera.
Poison Immunity (Ex): Constant exposure to various exotic inks has given Marlowe an innate resistance to drow poison, black lotus extract, blue whinnis poison, carrion crawler brain juice, dragon bile, and oil of taggit. He is no longer affected by these substances, though he'll complain if they get on his clothes.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Marlowe retains his Dex bonus to AC when caught flat-footed (though not when immobilized).
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): Marlowe can hide while being observed or when no cover/concealment is nearby.
Cloak of Discretion (Su): Some people are just plain boring blend in really well. Marlowe has a constant nondetection effect up (CL=character level).
Trapfinding: Spotting things that are seemingly innocuous but really deadly is a skill any clerk learns. Some of them apply it to dungeon-crawling as well. Marlowe can find traps with a DC greater than 20.
Trapmaking (Ex): Sheer bloody-mindedness and a really inventive mind mean that Marlowe is entirely willing to and capable of constructing simple, CR 1 traps as long as he has proper materials.
Palm Weapon (Su): Any weapon Marlowe conceals successfully with Sleight of Hand can't be found with divination magic. Since Marlowe is not trained in the skill (yet), this is a moot point.
Nerve of the Assassin (Ex): While studying a target for a death attack and for one round after, Marlowe is treated as being within a Protection from Evil effect, except he does not receive the bonus to AC.
Armour (based off Move Silently ranks): 4 ranks=+2 Hide synergy bonus, 8=ignore 10 points of penalty on MS checks for moving rapidly, 13=ignore 10 points of falling damage, 18=hide while being observed 1/round.

Are they clones or something? If they're different individuals, I should be able to tell, unless they're disguised or something. Right? I know you said they wear robes, do they constantly cover their faces then?
