Path of the Huntsman

Woodland Stride

Requirements: Survival 3, Knowledge Nature 3, 10 EXP

You may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.

Trackless Step

Requirements: Woodland Stride, Survival 5, Knowledge Nature 5, 10 EXP

You leave no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. You may choose to leave a trail if so desired.

Tracker

Requirements: Woodland Stride, Survival 5, 10 EXP

You may move at normal speed whilst tracking, and you may always take 10 on the check to do so.

Improved Tracker

Requirements: Tracker, Survival 10, 20 EXP

You may track at double normal speed, and may always take 10 on the check to do so. Alternatively, you may take 20, and move at half normal speed.

Favored Terrain

Requirements: Trackless Step, Survival 7, Knowledge Nature 7, Knowledge Geography 7, 15 EXP

You may select a type of terrain from the Table: Favored Terrains. You gain a bonus equal to your Secondary Attribute modifier to Initiative, Knowledge Geography, Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks as long as you are within that specific terrain. If a specific type of terrain falls into more than one category, you do not receive stacking bonuses.

Camouflage

Requirements: Favored Terrain, Stealth 5, Survival 8, Knowledge Geography 10, 25 EXP

When you are in your favored terrain(s), you may use the Stealth skill to hide, even if the terrain doesn’t normally grant cover or concealment to do so.

Mastery of Nature

Requirements: Favored Terrain, CST 11, Survival 12, Knowledge Nature 12, 30 EXP

Become immune to extreme heat or extreme cold in your favored terrain(s) (pick one for each terrain you possess, if you have multiple). In addition, you ignore difficult terrain in your favored terrain (whether it be magical or mundane), and all travel time for you and your companions within your favored terrain is halved.

Hide in Plain Sight

Requirements: Stealth 10, Survival 15, Knowledge Geography 12, 35 EXP

When in your favored terrain(s), you may always Stealth, even when observed.

Favored Enemy

Requirements: CST 5, Knowledge Nature 3, 15 EXP

Select a specific creature type from the Table: Favored Enemies. You gain a bonus equal to your Secondary Attribute modifier on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks, as well as weapon attack and damage rolls, against creatures of your selecting typing. You may make Knowledge checks untrained if they pertain to this creature type.

If you select humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, you must select an associated subtype, as indicated on the table. If a creature falls into more than one category, you do not gain the bonus multiple times.

This is a circumstance bonus similar to flanking. These bonuses rarely stack and you must select which bonus you are using when multiple apply. (If a GM indicates a unique circumstance bonus stacks that it can be used in tandem with Favored Enemy, but merely flanking will not be enough in most cases to out weigh you favored foe.)

You may purchase this Talent multiple times to gain multiple Favored Enemies. Each time you do, the EXP cost of this Talent increases by 10 (for example, your second Favored Enemy costs 25 EXP, your third costs 35 EXP, your fourth costs 45 EXP, etc).

As a Half Action you may make a Combat Maneuver against an adjacent Favored enemy. If successful you may choose one of the following:

• Restrain:The target can not use any form of nonstandard movement for 1 round +1 for each 5 points you beat their CMD
• Spellfoul: You gain SR 20 against any spells or spell like abilites from the target for 1 round +1 for each 5 points you beat their CMD
• Firefighting: You gain Energy Resistance 20 against any one energy type the target can use for 1 round +1 for each 5 points you beat their CMD
• Defensive Maneuver: You gain DR 10 against the target for 1 round +1 round per 5 points you beat their CMD

Quarry

Requirements: Favored Enemy, Improved Tracker, Knowledge Nature 8, 25 EXP

As a Half Action, you may denote one target within your line of sight as your Quarry. You may track your Quarry through terrain that would otherwise not allow you to track them. If the creature does not leave tracks or otherwise hides it's presence via Su, Sp, Ex, or Spell effect (not a skill effect) you may ignore that ability and track it mundanely.

You may choose to focus solely on your Quarry. If you do, you lose one of your Favored Enemy categories until you kill your Quarry or give up on hunting them. During the course of hunting your Quarry, you gain your Favored Enemy bonuses against it. If you give up hunting, you may not select a new Quarry for 24 hours. If you find proof that your Quarry is dead, you may select a new Quarry immediately.

You may now designate your Quarry as an Immediate Action.

Additionally, your bonuses against your Quarry are doubled, if you choose to focus solely upon them. Lastly, you may take 20 on checks to track your Quarry whilst moving at normal speed.
