The wild ranger has a very direct connection to nature, making him a shapeshifter and an intuitive practitioner of way of the void martial arts.
Class Information
This is a ranger archetype.
Publisher: Trailseeker.
Hit Dice: d10.
Class Features
This archetype has all normal class abilities, except as noted.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
The wild ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, but has no proficiency with shields or any kind of armor.
AC Bonus (Ex)
When unarmored and unencumbered, the wild ranger adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his Armor Class and combat maneuver defense. In addition, a wild ranger gains a +1 bonus to AC at 1st level. This bonus increases by 1 at level 4 and for every four wild ranger levels thereafter (+2 at 4th, +3 at 8th, and so on).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the wild ranger is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load. This is a variant of way of the void martial arts, see Unarmored and Dangerous, also by Purple Duck Games. All information needed to use this ability is given here.
Combat Style
It is recommended that the wild ranger picks the natural weapon combat style, but this is not required.
Wild Animal Shape (Su)
At 4th level, a wild ranger gains the ability to turn himself into any Small or Medium animal and back again once per day. His options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the beast shape I spell, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per wild ranger level, or until he changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The form chosen must be that of an animal the wild ranger is familiar with.
A wild ranger loses his ability to speak while in animal form because he is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but he can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as his new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)
A wild ranger can use this ability an additional time per day at 6th level and every two levels thereafter, for a total of eight times at 18th level. At 20th level, a wild ranger can use wild animal shape at will.
As the wild ranger gains levels, this ability allows him to take on the form of larger and smaller animals and even magical beasts. Each form expends one daily usage of this ability, regardless of the form taken. At 7th level, the wild ranger can use wild animal shape as a swift action. At 10th level, a wild ranger can use wild animal shape to change into a Large or Tiny animal. The wild ranger’s wild shape now functions as beast shape II. At 13th level, a wild ranger can use wild shape to change into a Huge or Diminutive animal or a Small or Medium magical beast, as beast shape III.
This replaces the ranger’s spells class feature. Wild rangers do not gain any spells or spellcasting ability, do not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger and spell completion magic items except by using the Use Magic Device skill.
