Feats

Iron Will
You get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws. (Racial Bonus feat)

Power Attack
Can choose to take a -1 penalty to all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls (increased by 50% [+3] for two-handed weapons). At BAB +4 and every four thereafter, the penalty increases by -1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. (1st Level feat)

Cleave
As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full BAB against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full BAB) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach. You can only make on additional attack per round with this feat, and you take a -2 penalty to your AC until your next turn. (Combat Style feat)

Endurance
You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage from exhaustion; CON checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march; CON checks made to hold your breath; CON checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst; Fort saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments; and Fort saves made to resist damage from suffocation. You may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued. (Ranger Bonus feat)

Weapon Focus (Greataxe)
Gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls when wielding this weapon. (3rd Level feat)

Great Cleave
As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the previous foe and also within reach. If you hit, you can continue to make attacks against foes adjacent to the previous foe, so long as they are within your reach. You cannot attack an individual foe more than once during this attack action. When you use this feat, you take a -2 penalty to your Armor Class until your next turn. (5th Level feat)

Furious Focus
When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity. (Combat Style feat)

Boon Companion
The abilities of your animal companion or familiar are calculated as though your class were 4 levels higher, to a maximum effective druid level equal to your character level. If you have more than one animal companion or familiar, choose one to receive this benefit. If you dismiss or lose an animal companion or familiar that has received this benefit, you can apply this feat to the replacement creature. (7th Level feat)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Traits

Armor Expert: When you wear armor of any sort, reduce that suit’s armor check penalty by 1, to a minimum check penalty of 0.

Acrobat: You gain a +1 bonus on Acrobatics checks, and you take only a –2 penalty instead of the normal –5 penalty when using the Climb skill to attempt an accelerated climb.

Racial Features and Class Abilities

Racial Features: +2 to One Ability Score - Human characters get a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.
Medium: Humans are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet.
Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.
Languages: Humans speak Common, with high INT scores allowing them to choose any additional languages they want.

Favored Class (Ranger): Whenever a character gains a level in his favored class, he receives either +1 hit point or +1 skill rank. (Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 - Extra hit point)

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor and shields (except tower shields).

Favored Enemy (Ex) [Orcs +4; Humanoid (Goblinoid) +2]: A ranger gains a bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against his favored enemies. Likewise, he gets a bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures. At 5th level and every five levels thereafter, the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy increases by +2.

Track (Ex): A ranger adds half his level to Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.

Wild Empathy (Ex) [+6]: A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal with this ability, which functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his CHA bonus to determine the 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, though might take more or less time. The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an INT score of 1 or 2, but takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Combat Style Feat (Ex) [Two-Handed Weapon]: The ranger can select feats from the following list, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites: Cleave, Power Attack, Pushing Assault, and Shield of Swings. At 6th level, he adds Furious Focus and Great Cleave to the list. At 10th level, he adds Dreadful Carnage and Improved Sunder to the list. The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style feats apply only when he wears light, medium or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style feats when wearing heavy armor. Once a ranger selects a combat style, it cannot be changed.

Favored Terrain (Ex) [Forest +2]: Gains a bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (Geography), Perception, Stealth and Survival skill checks when he travels through this terrain, as well as leaving no trail and he cannot be tracked (though he may leave a trail if he so chooses). At 8th level and every five levels thereafter, the ranger may select an additional favored terrain. In addition, at each such interval, the skill bonus and initiative bonus in any one favored terrain increases by +2. If a specific terrain falls into more than one category of favored terrain, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

Hunter’s Bond (Ex) [Wolf]: The ranger forms a close bond with an animal companion. This ability functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the Nature Bond class feature), except that the ranger's effective druid level is equal to his ranger level -3. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the druid on her adventures. Unlike normal animals of its kind, an animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats advance as the druid advances in level. If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective druid levels stack for the purposes of determining the statistics and abilities of the companion. Most animal companions increase in size when their druid reaches 4th or 7th level, depending on the companion. If a druid releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished.

Hunter’s Trick [4x/day]: At 5th level, a skirmisher ranger learns the use of hunter’s tricks, which typically grant a boon or bonus to the ranger or a nearby ally. At 5th level, the ranger learns one trick. At 7th level, and every two levels thereafter, he learns another trick. A ranger can use these tricks a total number of times per day equal to 1/2 his ranger level + his Wisdom modifier. Tricks are usually swift actions, but sometimes move or free actions that modify a standard action, usually an attack action. Once a trick is chosen, it can’t be retrained. A ranger cannot select an individual trick more than once. This ability replaces the ranger’s spells class feature. Skirmishers do not gain any spells or spellcasting ability, do not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger and spell completion magic items.
Bolster Companion (Ex) - The ranger can use this trick as an immediate action when his animal companion is hit with an attack or a combat maneuver. The companion’s AC and combat maneuver defense increase by +4 for the purposes of that attack. If the attack still hits, the animal companion only takes half damage (if any). The animal companion must be able to see and hear the ranger to benefit from this trick.
Chameleon Step (Ex) - The ranger can move up to twice his speed as a move action. The ranger does not take any penalty on Stealth checks for movement during this move. This move provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.

Woodland Strike (Ex): A ranger may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect him.

Character Appearance & History

A dusky-skinned man of fierce countenance, with dark black hair he wears long and dark bands tattooed across his eyes and nose. His favored weapon is a magical, obsidian greataxe he carries with a few other assorted weapons. His animal companion, 'Whisper' is a large grey wolf he has raised since she was a mere pup, and together they make a formidable team.

Born in the Dalelands, Horek's village, located in the foothills of the Thunder Peaks, fought for their survival against various tribes of orcs and goblinoids throughout his young life. Growing up in the mountains carved the young man into a fierce warrior over the years, and eventually he offered his services to the Dalelands as a scout for patrols that ranged across the kingdom to keep the townsfolk safe from the monstrous humanoids he had spent a lifetime fighting, as well as the marauding bandits of Zhentil Keep.

Recently, Horek has joined with the forces of Cormyr, as their patrols have fought against incursions at Tilver's Gap and Daggerdale. Having made a name for himself among the Lord High Marshal's army for his skill and fighting prowess, Horek has found himself in Eveningstar, after hearing of an opportunity in that region to do battle against evil forces gathering there...
