Eagle Eye

You only suffer a –1 penalty per full range increment between you and your target when using a ranged weapon.

Track

You add half your ranger level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy

You can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. You roll 1d20 and add your ranger level and your 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, you 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.

You can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but take a –4 penalty on the check.

Feats

The ranger archetype grants no feats on level 1, besides those mentioned in Combat Training.

However, if this is your first character level you gain a bonus feat of any type. Use it to pick the Dodge feat.
