SPECIAL ABILITIES Animal Companion (Ex): Ruano's animal companion is a Riding Dog he affectionately calls 'Spot', despite the fact the dog has no spots. Nature Sense (Ex): Ruano gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Spontaneous Casting (Su): Ruano can "lose" a prepared spell in order to cast any Summon Nature’s Ally spell of the same level or lower. Wild Empathy (Ex): Ruano can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. Ruano has a +1 bonus on this check [+1 level, +0 Chr]. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, Ruano and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. Ruano 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. XP: 650 Spot CR N/A

SPECIAL ABILITIES Link (Ex): Ruano can handle Spot as a free action, or push it as a move action. Ruano gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding Spot. Share Spells (Ex): At Ruano’s option, he may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) he casts upon himself also affect Spot. Spot must be within 5 feet at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting Spot if she moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect her again, even if she returns before the duration expires. Additionally, Ruano may cast a spell with a target of "You" on Spot (as a touch range spell). Ruano and Spot can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect animals. Trip (Ex): If Spot hits with her bite attack, she can attempt to trip the opponent (+2 [Str] check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip Spot. Ruano was born and raised in Magnimar. However, his family began to grow weary of the Chelaxian tendency to look down their noses at the little folk, in a more than literal manner. Near the end of Ruano's childhood, they left the city to join the native Varisian nomads (and some extended family who had already left). Ruano immediately fell in love with the beautiful landscapes of Varisia, and began spending evenings well off the path, speaking with the local druids when the caravan stopped. Before long, he was taken under their tutiledge. At the summer solstice, his circle promoted him from apprentice, and bid him to select some of the land for his own. He selected a peaceful bit of coastline, not far from the city of his youth. With the fall equinox approaching, he has come into the town of Sandpoint to celebrate the change of seasons, and to familiarize himself with the people and lands under his care. Initial Reactions to Fellow PCs Blackwing - Nosy bird. Hemlock was watching him.
