Special Abilities
--------------------
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.

Track (Ex): A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
Wild Empathy (Ex): 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.

Background:

Kilgar was a burgeoning pirate in the Shackles region, part of one of the most green crews out and about, but he was happy and alive, and that was more than he could say of many kinsmen who lived beneath the ground. Wind in the face, salt spray or high winds...aye, that was where things were really at. That's where true adventure, and great stories were to be had. Sadly, the dwarf's adventure did not last as long as he'd hoped.

The entire crew had decided they would try their first big haul. Something that would grab them infamy and experience. Something that would truly show others that they were able to claim their own stake in the world of piracy. So they went for a small merchant vessel, one that had stocked up at a port the crew was deeply familiar with. It was only after getting into the deep, open ocean that the merchant vessel raised its true colors: Cheliax

What insued was a short battle that led to the Eye's Fury (the ship Kilgar crewed) being boarded by the Chelaxian vessel. Instead of directly engaging, the captain of the Chelaxian vessel along with her first mate forced magic into the Fury's mind and brought crewmate against crewmate. It was only after Kilgar was forced to kill his one true friend, Shoanti Master-at-Arms Tihratt Deepstorm. The confusion and brutality of the event forced the dwarf's magically resistant mind to snap loose from the horrible pain he was fierced to engage in, and with but a momentarily glance to his glassy eyed mates, he stowed his dead friend's most treasured weapon on his back and leaped into the water.

Kilgar does not speak of the event, or how he made it to shore after such a horribly long swim. Simply put: Revenge is a harsh thing, in the mind of a dwarf.
