The alpha ranger is a leader among animals, the strongest and wisest in the pack.

Class Information

This is a ranger archetype.

Hit Die: d10.

Class Abilities

This archetype has all normal class abilities, except as noted.

Pack Animal (Ex)

At 1st level, an alpha ranger gains the service of a loyal pack animal to aid him in battle. This functions as a druid’s animal companion, using the alpha ranger’s level as his effective druid level.

The alpha ranger can pick any Small or Medium animal companion commonly available in the area as his pack animal. The pack animal never grows to more than Medium size, which may force the alpha ranger to take the option to increase the animal companions Strength and Dexterity by +2 each instead of increasing size. An alpha ranger’s pack animal does not gain the share spells special ability.

An alpha ranger's pack animal shares his favored enemy and favored terrain bonuses.

This ability modifies hunter's bond.

Wild Alpha (Ex)

An alpha ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal of the same basic kind as that of his pack animal. An alpha ranger leading a wolf pack can improve the attitude of canines, an alpha ranger leading dolphins can improve the attitude of cetaceans, and so on. The alpha ranger cannot use this ability to influence magical beasts. This otherwise functions as the ranger's animal empathy. This is a modification to the wild empathy ability.

Master of the Pack (Ex)

At 4th level, the alpha ranger can add a second pack animal. Every 3 levels after level 4, the alpha ranger may take on an additional animal to a maximum of 7 pack animals at level 19. An alpha ranger with 2 or more pack animals reduces his effective druid level for the pack animal ability by one per pack animal he has; two pack animals reduce the level by 2, three pack animals reduce the level by three and so on.

All the pack animals of a certain alpha ranger are of the same kind and have identical game statistics. The alpha ranger is strongly encouraged to give them identical equipment, to keep thing simple.

This replaces the ranger’s spells class feature. Alpha rangers do not gain any spells or spellcasting ability, do not have a spell list or caster level, and cannot use spell trigger and spell completion magic items except through Use Magic Device.
