To answer a few questions I've seen:
1. Yes, all feats you have earned to this point remain with you for the duration of your character's sad, pathetic, cosmically doomed life. I'm kidding, of course, about the sad and pathetic. Cosmically doomed remains to be seen.
2. For a magus: the spells per day table indicates how many spells of each level you may memorize and cast in a day, modified by your intelligence modifier as shown on the table Abilities and Spellcasters a little way down the linked page. At each new level, you can add two spells of any level you are able to cast (so right now, it would be 0 or 1st-level spells). You can choose from any you don't know that are found in the official sources for the game (Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Magic). See this link to look at spells by rulebook source.
3. Ember, remember (hey, that rhymes) that your spells per day are also modified by your Charisma score in the same way that Elora's are modified by her Intelligence score (see table linked above). 4 1st level spells per day is the base.
4. Remember that when gaining a level in a class, your save modifiers and base attack bonus can often go up. See your class page on d20pfsrd.com for that.
5. All the "free feats" are permanent.
Don't forget that multiclassing is a possibility. Every new level, you can choose to take a level in any class you qualify for and gain its 1st level abilities. If you need assistance in figuring out how to do that, let me know.

Ah, sweet! I get 5 1st-level spells per day, then. That's a lot of magic missiles :D

Also, every character gets two skill points to spend on Background Skills only. Those are listed at this link a little way down the page.

Yeah haha
You know, I had a co-worker once tell me "You're such a nice Catholic girl! How can you play that game? Isn't it the devil's game?"
And she kept joking about it, but juuuuuuust enough that I don't think she was joking :P

Congratulations! For excellent RP, some clever combat, and reaching a major plot point, you are now all LEVEL 3!
Here's a handy guide for character advancement, step by step:
1. Select your new class level
Decide whether you're going to go up in level in your current class or add a level in a new class. I know a couple of you are planning to multiclass. Remember that if you multi-class, you retain ALL the abilities of your previous class, and add on any new abilities of your new class.
2. Add your new class abilities and stat changes
First: change your BAB, fortitude, reflex and will save modifiers if appropriate. When you change your BAB, make sure to change your attack modifiers for your weapons as well.
Second: take note of any new class abilities and record them on your character sheet.
Third: Take note of how many additional skill points you gain and roll for HP. Take a minimum of (hit die)/2 + CON modifier new hit points. Recall that if you are going up a level in your original class taken at 1st level, you also gain EITHER 1 additional HP OR 1 additional skill point.
3. Add new skills and feats
Remember that all characters gain a new feat at Character Level 3, which you all are now. Remember that you also get 2 points to spend on Background Skills.
4. Add new spells if appropriate
Please ask any questions that come up!

Well I feared this day has come, but it seems I shall...multi-class. I'm gonna update this post as I go along, as I need to roll hp and such.
1) New Witch level!
4+4 for 8 extra health to a total of 31HP.
Taking Misfortune as my hex.
New Feat: Accursed hex - makes baddie re-roll will save on a hex.
Added one rank in: Arcana, Dungeoneering, Planes,
Three ranks in: Nature
Adding two skill points to Linguistics for background.
+2 to will saves
It says I get a +1 to fort saves somewhere but I can't see where?...
New witch cantrips - Detect Poison, Read Magic, Touch of Fatigue
New Witch Spells prepared- Beguiling Gift, Charm Person, Ear Piercing Scream, Hypnotism, Identify, Ill Omen
Gained a familiar, which among other things gives me Alertness when they are next to me.

Allow me to introduce the Rhamian quarter orc Bard, Uelten Swan!Rolls for starting cash, hit points at levels 2 & 3
[ +- ] terrible secrets
Born to a Rhamian trading family, Uelten learned early to play his cards close to his chest. Oragosa was a one time rival of the Tygene, and though the age of independent city states was long past, Oragosians defined themselves in many ways as to how they weren't Tygenes. How is that in particular? Well, Oragosians were clever, some would say sneaky, and prone to elaborate intrigues. Uelten was the prodigal son.
Born to a half orc father and human mother, Uelten was tall but slender, agile but weak. A diplomat, a courtier, a negotiator. He trained diligently in the matters of trade that was required by their importing business, obtaining rare and difficult items for their discerning clients. This brought wealth, and suspicion. After all, what else were they bringing? Rumor is not always wrong.
Deep within their parcels, often came messages. More valuable than spice, information often paid the freight for mundane cargo. And this is really what Uelten was raised to be: not just a smuggler, but an information broker. The real family business.
The house special? Stories and lore of the War of the Mage Kings.
Father: Illas Swan; Mother: Bersa Swan; Siblings: +Lia (Swan) Corter, -Helmut Swan

Swan has been updated to level 3 and submitted. I'll need to pare down the equipment as I rolled poorly, depending if there is any adjustment to starting wealth for level 3?

Rolling HP for the new Druid. Also, should I use the starting gold at new levels table? That would give me 3,000 gp to start with.
