Favored Enemy (Ex): Humanoid (giant) +2
Undead +4
At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 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 (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2. If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

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

Endurance
A ranger gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level.

Favored Terrain (Ex) Underground
At 3rd level, a ranger may select a type of terrain from Table: Ranger Favored Terrains. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks when he is in this terrain. A ranger traveling through his favored terrain normally leaves no trail and 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 (including the one just selected, if so desired), 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.

Adopted: Shield Bearer:
When performing a shield bash, you deal 1 additional point of damage. Also, once per day on your turn as a free action, you may provide one adjacent ally a +2 trait bonus to his Armor Class. This bonus lasts for 1 round, so long as you and the target remain adjacent to one another. You can only use this ability if you are using a shield. You retain your shield bonus to your armor class when using this ability.
Shield Trained:
You were trained to use shields as weapons. Heavy and light shields are considered simple weapons rather than martial weapons for you. Heavy shields are considered light weapons for you. (ISG)

I blame you as an adultress!
With this words young Ulfgards life was turned into turmoil. There are few things more shameful for a married dwarven woman than be called an adultress.
It would mean exile. For her and her kin.
No amount of pleading, no amount of begging could save the woman and her two young sons from this fate and with little supplies she was thrown out of the dwarven citadel. The road was hard and finding a new place to call home even harder.
Especially if branded on booth cheeks.
In a small town called Tunaru she finally found an old an desperate dwarf called Dorn, who was quite happy to have a female companion again. Dorn accepted the exiles into his home and tried to be a good companion and a decent father.
Ulfgard, always big and strong was always the one for the raw work, while his younger brother Ulfgurd was clever and soon a master with all fine work. So Dorn aranged that Ulfgard would be trained by an old grizzled Ulfen trapper to learn the ropes. Bjoern, son of Braggi, was a veteran of dozen lost causes and battles, but his skill with the shield had kept him alive all the time, where his friends had fallen. He used his expertise to good use in the young dwarf who learned to lean into the shield, move the shield, attack with the shield.
After a few years their mother died, heartbroken and gaunt and their two sons mourned her passing deeply. Soon afterwards Dorn followed, finally his liver failing his fall into alcoholism.
It would be wrong to say that it was easy for the brothers but they booth found solace in their work. Also while gruff and with difficulties adapting to the human way, booth were known as expert craftsmen, who never overcharged, trusted neighbours, who would always help.
Live would be good for the 2 brothers, if they had not a minor problem. The Problem is Brag, Son of Brigger, the local brewer. This generally unfriendly dwarf is the father of two most beautiful twin girls, booth with ample bosom and just the most beautiful, soft facial hair. And he is not inclinded to offer their hands in marriage to two dwarven lads without a name. Being respectable town guards is not enough, so Ulfgard is hoping for a chance to prove his mettle. And hoping for a chance to prove it fast, because if her father marries them off to someone else,
he is facing a live of solitude with the bottle as his only friend.

I will not PvP!
I will keep player and character knowledge seperate!
I will post at least 3 times between Monday and Friday and 1 time during the weekends. (If I cannot make this, I must let us know)
I will respect the GM's and each other's time and the fact that we all have real lives too.
Addition:
I know that this is a game and the idea of a game is to have fun

Here I see you stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here, victory is near
The sound will fill the field, the 9th. will never yield

We alone are fighting for Torag and our halls
We own the right to live the fight, we're here for all the clans
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the stonen sky

Warriors everywhere - raise your weapons into the air
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths

Many stand against us, but they will never win

We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction, suffering and death
We are the hammers of Lord Torag, we are steel, blood and flesh.

There they wait in fury with swords in orcish hands
With dreams to be a supreme, first one should be a man
I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall cry mercy before they die

If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my shield and weapons, tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel

Warriors everywhere - raise your weapons into the air
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths
