I'm too lazy to write these up, but I'd sell my ring of feather falling for a potion of such, and wait to drink it till I was 300 feet up or less. I theory, I'd slow down right above the ground, but not be archer fodder. Protection from arrows and dispel resistance a must. Seriously, warlocks with Overland flight and voracious dispelling would eat these troopers alive.

More seriously, several bags of holding full of rocks. Open. Listen for the screams of your enemies. Grin. Bags full of light weapons would work too. Like daggers. Generally, weapons deal their damage when thrown(or dropped from a sufficient height), so that would be cost-effective.

A serious requirement is fighting on your own in hostile territory, and being difficult to find. For city paratroopers, I recommend Up the Walls as a Psionic feat or skill trick. They can't get you if you're on the roof, right? Masterwork cloaks of hiding, quiver full of arrows, shortbow. Apply enhancements as you can afford them. Items that spread disease would be powerfully effective. Changeling race, I think. Better for hiding in plain sight. Kill the people in the houses, change to look like them. Cleric levels or an item to spread discord by making undead.

A chaos beast in a bag! When you get down, open the bag and run! Or feed it several villagers, then run. Even better. Chaos beast tag! As a paratrooper, chaos and death on all sides benefits you.

Give them footbows and watch the fireworks. This class combo also works with rings of feather falling, but that's pretty expensive, so this might get them a magic weapon instead.
