Combat Training

Mercenaries may combine combat spheres and talents to create powerful martial techniques. They use Wisdom as their practitioner modifier.

Talents

You gain the Scout Sphere and the Sniper Sphere.

Default: As your optional sphere from your martial tradition you pick the Duelist Training Equipment training discipline.

Alternatively: Pick a talent from either the Equipment sphere or Scout sphere.

Track

A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy

A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Feats

The ranger gains no extra feats on first level.

Default: Pick Far Shot as your level 1 feat.
