This is a version of the animal lord monster template expressed as an archetype.
Background
The animal lord is a champion of a family of animals, like canines or felines. As he grows in power, the animal lord assumes more and more of the abilities of his animal family, becoming a shapeshifting lord of the wild; all animals and many monsters of his family acknowledge the superiority of a high level animal lord.
Animal lords are rare. There is usually only one animal lord of significant level on a given subcontinent. If two animal lords of similar level meet, they are likely to fight for dominance.
Class Information
This is a martial arts archetype of the way of the body, a shapechanger that fights like an animal.
Class: Ranger.
Starting Money: 2d6 × 10 gp (average 70 gp)
Hit Die: d10.
Class Skills
The ranger's class skills are Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Perception (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).
Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.
Class Features
The animal lord has all standard ranger class features, except as noted below.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
The animal lord is proficient with all simple and martial weapons. Animal lords are proficient with light armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded or leather armor. They can wear hide armor, but are not proficient in it and lose their way of their body armor bonus if they wear medium armor. An animal lord may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. Animal lords are not proficient with shields, and if they use them must use only wooden shields.
An animal lord who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited shield is unable to cast ranger spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.
Way of the Body Armor Bonus (Ex)
As long as he is not wearing medium or heavy armor, an animal lord gains a circumstance bonus to natural armor equal to his Constitution bonus. He can use shields normally and the bonus stacks with both natural armor and with enchantment bonuses to natural armor.
Note that temporary Constitution modifiers, such as those from bear's endurance, do not increase the armor class bonus from this ability.
Animal Lord (Ex)
This is the same as the ranger ability Wild Empathy, except that it only works with creatures of the animal lord's family. Animals and magical beasts of this type begin with an attitude of friendly to the animal lord, and the animal lord can communicate complex commands as long as those commands are in accordance with the animal's natural activities. This replaces wild empathy.
Animal Senses (Ex)
The animal lord gains the senses of his animal family in both humanoid and animal form, as outlined in the animal families section. This replaces the level 1 favored enemy.
Skill Modifiers (Ex)
The animal lord gains the racial skill bonuses of his animal family, as outlined in the animal families section. He can use these skill bonuses in humanoid and animal form. This replaces track.
Native Terrain (Ex)
Table: Native Terrains |
Cold (ice, glaciers, snow, and tundra) |
Desert (sand and wastelands) |
Forest (coniferous and deciduous) |
Jungle |
Mountain (including hills) |
Plains |
Planes (pick one, other than Material Plane) |
Swamp |
Underground (caves and dungeons) |
Urban (buildings, streets, and sewers) |
Water (above and below the surface) |
At 3rd level, an animal lord may select a type of terrain from Table: Animal Lord Native Terrains. The animal lord gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks, attack rolls, damage rolls, and Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks when he is in this terrain. An animal lord traveling through his native 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 animal lord may select an additional native terrain. In addition, at each such interval, the skill bonus and initiative bonus in any one native terrain (including the one just selected, if so desired), increases by +2.
If a specific terrain falls into more than one category of native terrain, the animal lord's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher. This replaces favored terrain.
Beast Shape (Su)
At 3rd level the animal lord can assume the animal forms listed in the animal families section. He can use this ability at will and it lasts until he dies or resumes his normal shape as a standard action. At level 3 he can assume the shape of Small and Medium animals of his family, as beast shape I. At 7th level, he can assume the form of a Tiny or Large member of his animal family, as beast shape II. At 11th level he can change between animal and humanoid for as a swift action. At 15th level he can assume the form of a Huge member of his animal family, as beast shape III. Note that some animal families do not have access to all size categories. This ability counts as wild shape into an animal for the purpose of prerequisites and what other abilities it can be used with.
When he assumes an animal form, all his gear is absorbed into his assumed form. Items that provide continuous bonuses continue to provide those bonuses, except armor. An animal lord in animal form can benefit from armor with the wild property. When a magic weapon is absorbed this way, the animal lord can apply its enchantment to one type of natural attacks. Example Benugan has a +2 frost longbow and a +2 keen dagger. He assumes the form of a lion. He chooses to apply the +2 frost enchantment to all his claws and the +2 keen enchantment to his bite.
The animal lord can also change into hybrid forms as a free action, adding cosmetic traits from his animal forms to his original appearance. This has no game effect. This replaces hunter's bond.
Improved Natural Attacks
At level 4th level, and again at level 19, the animal lord gains Improved Natural Attack as a bonus feat. When the animal lord has applied this feat to all the natural attacks gained from the shifter attacks class feature, he can apply this feat to an attack again, with stacking benefits. An animal lord with a single shifter attack can apply Improved Natural Attack up to four times to that attack. This replaces endurance and improved quarry.
Natural Attacks (Su)
At 5th level the animal lord gains the ability to instantly shift parts of his body into natural weapons without changing his overall shape. He can use the natural attacks of his animal family in humanoid form, as outlined in the animal families section. This replaces the level 5 favored enemy.
Special Qualities (Su)
At 7th level the animal lord gains the special qualities of his animal family, as outlined in the animal families section. He can use these special qualities in humanoid and animal form. This replaces woodland stride.
Animal Movement (Su)
At 8th level the animal lord gains the movement abilities of his animal family in humanoid form, as outlined in the animal families section. His body partially changes shape to allow this. This replaces swift tracker.
Special Attacks (Su)
At 9th level the animal lord gains the special attacks of his animal family, as outlined in the animal families section. He can use these special attacks with natural attacks in humanoid and animal form. This replaces evasion.
Shapechanger (Ex)
At 10th level, the animal lord gains the shapeshifter subtype. He is treated as the animal for spells and effects that work differently on animals. This replaces the level 10 favored enemy.
Damage Reduction (Su)
At level 11 the animal lord gains DR 10/silver in both humanoid and animal forms. This replaces quarry.
Outsider (Ex)
At level 15 the animal lord's type changes to type changes to outsider (native, shapechanger). He is no longer a humanoid and cannot be affected by effects that specifically affect humanoids. The effects of the shapechanger ability, above, still applies.
Animal Gift (Sp)
At 16th level the animal lord can bestow the animal gift on others. Once per day the animal lord can use animal shapes (sp). At level 20, the animal lord can use this ability at will. This replaces improved evasion and master hunter.
Foresight (Sp)
At level 20, the animal lord gains continuous foresight (sp). If this effect is dispelled, the animal lord can resume it as a swift action. This replaces the level 20 favored enemy.
