Venerable Marine
From d20 NPC Wiki
Don't mess with me, you young whippersnapper. I was a paratrooper in Europe!
An old and not unbowed warrior moves slowly down the street. Lost in his memories of a simpler time, he finds himself surrounded by a pack of much younger thugs.
"Hand over the green, pops! We don't want to hurt you."
"Speak up sonny", says the old warrior. There's a twinkle in his eye, obscured by the visual shield created by a fast-moving, expertly-wielded walking stick. *Crack!*
The old warrior continues on his journey, lost in memory lane. The youngsters lie in the street, having acquired some bruises with their lessons in life.

[edit] Design Notes
Due to the Old Marine's venerable age weakening his focus on physical classes and the lack of feat-boosted equipment (guns and armor), the old Marine's approximate CR should be 6 or 7.
