Traits:
Focused Mind: Your childhood was either dominated by lessons of some sort (whether musical, academic, or other) or by a horrible home life that encouraged your ability to block out distractions and focus on the immediate task at hand. You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.
Suspicious: You discovered at an early age that someone you trusted, perhaps an older sibling or a parent, had lied to you, and lied often, about something you had taken for granted, leaving you quick to question the claims of others. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks, and Sense Motive is always a class skill for you.
Warrior of Old: As a child, you put in long hours in combat drills, and though time has made this training a dim memory, you still have a knack for quickly responding to trouble. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
Regional (forest): Much of your time was in the trees, not climbing them, but jumping from one tree branch to another, through the grace of your race and the amount of branch hopping in your youth, you can classify acrobatics as a Class skill and gain a +1 trait bonus to the skill.

Bane tells of his background to anyone who will buy him a drink. It is a tale to learn from him and one to understand to never believe what others tell you fully. It is a tale of betrayal and the plot always twists when you think it should stay the course. Several individuals have heard him tell it to another, and question which story is true, for the basic frame is the same, though many details are changed. “If you can’t dicepher the truth in my story, then you don’t deserve it!” He remarks to the simple minded who have heard two of the stories and question him on it.

Tall and lean Bane the elf holds his posture straight and true, all 5’9”. His frame is about average for most elves; though you can tell that he is very fit and there is no extra weight on his frame. He appears to be ageless, with not a single grey hair in the pure stark black hair. His unnaturally straight hair is kept in a topknot, though if let out the hair touches the back of his knees. His eyes are a deep blue some would say if you looked into them your own heart could freeze over, they never show emotion in public and it will take quite a bit of time until he lets another be called friend. His untarnished pale skin is spotless.

Freebooter
A freebooter is a natural leader, a pirate who works well with a variety of people and in a variety of roles. Her specialized combat tactics help organize and direct a crew, and freebooters’ talents are in high demand. Most freebooters work as independent agents. A freebooter signs on with a crew when she feels the urge to travel, and often moves to a new ship when her contract ends.
The freebooter is an archetype of the ranger class.
Freebooter's Bane (Ex)
At 1st level, the freebooter can, as a move action, indicate an enemy in combat and rally her allies to focus on that target. The freebooter and her allies gain a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against the target. This ability applies only to allies who can see or hear the freebooter and who are within 30 feet of the freebooter at the time she activates this ability. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the bonus increases by 1. The freebooter’s bane lasts until the target dies or the freebooter selects a new target.
This ability replaces favored enemy.
Freebooter's Bond (Ex)
At 4th level, a freebooter forms a bond with her crewmates. This bond allows her to spend a move action to grant her allies extra combat prowess when they work as a team. All allies within 30 feet who can see or hear the freebooter gain an additional +2 bonus on attack rollswhen flanking with the freebooter or with another ally affected by this ability.
This ability replaces hunter’s bond.
Fast Swimmer (Ex)
Starting at 7th level, a freebooter may swim half her speed as a move action or her normal speed as a full-round action with a successful Swimcheck. The freebooter gains a +2 bonus on Swim checks.
This ability replaces woodland stride.

Associated School: Transmutation.
Replacement Powers: The following school powers replace the telekinetic fist and change shape powers of the transmutation school.
Augment (Sp): As a standard action, you can touch a creature and grant it either a +2 enhancement bonus to a single ability score of your choice or a +1 bonus to natural armor that stacks with any natural armor the creature might possess. At 10th level, the enhancement bonus to one ability score increases to +4. The natural armor bonus increases by +1 for every five wizard levels you possess, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. This augmentation lasts a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum 1 round). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
Perfection of Self (Su): At 8th level, as a swift action you can grant yourself an enhancement bonus to a single ability score equal to 1/2 your wizard level (maximum +10) for one round. You may use this ability for a number of times per day equal to your wizard level.
