Hi all!
First time posting to the forums, asking for advice on my first ever Pathfinder build.
I'm currently leveling up my switch-hitty Spell-less Ranger (went basic and no magic because GM and the rest of the planet advised me to keep it simple). But I'm having trouble understanding some of the Ranger Feats.
What in the world, exactly, does Savage terrain Warrior, Favored Terrain Master, and Favored Terrain Expert do? For the life of me I can't find any descriptions for what mechanical functions these give you.
Thanks for any help!

Savage Warrior is a fighter archetype. I can't find anything called Savage Terrain Warrior. Where are you seeing that?
Terrain Master is a Rogue talent that gives a Rogue the favored terrain class feature without progression. I can't find anything called Favored Terrain Master. Where are you seeing that?
I can't find anything close to Favored Terrain Expert. Where are you seeing that?

There is more than one ranger that does not get spells. What is the name of the archetype?
And if it's from a Paizo product letting us know the name of the book helps. Paizo has a lot of books and without the name of the source it may be difficult to find what you are asking about.
The name of the archetype is Spell-less Ranger and it's from Kobold Press. The reference page that I've been using is here:
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/kobold-press-open-design /spell-less-ranger/The feats I asked about are all under Ranger Talents> Ranger Feats.
I would ask my GM, but he is currently away traveling. I also have the "New Paths: Expanded Spell-less Ranger" book in PDF, but it doesn't tell my any more than the D20 site!
Very confusing...

Do we do third party stuff on this forum? I dunno, I'ma answer anyway.
@OP The feats you're asking about start on page 8 of the PDF. Favored Terrain Expert gives you +2 to Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth and Survival and initiative when in one favored terrain you chose when you take the feat.
Favored Terrain Master requires FTE and raises the bonuses to +4. Also a bunch of other stuff for your allies
Savage Terrain Warrior requires Str 13, Bab +3 and the favored terrain class feature, and grants you a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls and combat maneuvers checks while in favored terrain, at the cost of -3 to AC, activatable ala Power Attack.

Ah, sorry if this was the wrong forum! Like I said, first time posting.
Thanks for the help. I don't know why I didn't see that section in the PDF. Apaprently I'm blind.Now, Savage terrain Warrior sure looks like a whole lotta fun...

I wasn't being passive aggressive, I genuinely don't know if we're supposed to answer stuff about third party works or where else that would fit if we aren't. Glad to help, regardless.
And if you're ever planning on being in melee, I would run screaming from STW. -3 AC is too much IMO.
Hey no prob, tone doesn't come across well in text. :)
And you have a point. My character does end up in melee a lot more than I like, out of pure necessity (our team sorely lacks combat oriented classes). I'm maxing out Acrobatics and planning to take Arobatic Dodge plus lots of AC boosting items... but still. Rangers are not tanks.
Maybe I should just take an extra Favored Terrain this time

The rules forum is for official Pathfinder products. 3rd party products tend to get sent to other areas. Most people will answer here if they know the answer, but once a mod sees it, it will get send to another part of the site.
I had a feeling it was the Kobold Press version, but I wasn't sure.
I also agree that -3 AC is too big of a hit.

Right on, I'll check if the material is 3rd party next time I post. Thanks for the feedback!
