Stormwalker

Rangers who walk in the tempest unafraid draw the power of the storm into themselves and become stormwalkers.

Combat Style Feat (Ex)

At 2nd level, a stormwalker must choose archery style.

This alters the ranger’s combat style.

Thundershot (Su)

At 4th level, a stormwalker can wreathe his weapon in lightning. As a standard action, he can grant a single weapon he holds the shock special ability for 1 minute; while under this effect, the weapon counts as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. A stormwalker can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Wisdom modifier. At 12th level, weapons affected by this ability gain the shocking burst special ability.

This replaces hunter’s bond.

Wind Treader (Ex)

At 8th level, a stormwalker becomes immune to the effects of strong wind. He can move without hindrance in windy conditions, and his ranged attacks take no penalties from non-magical wind.

This replaces swift tracker.

Flash Step (Su)

At 11th level, a stormwalker can move across the battlefield like a bolt of lightning. As a full-round action, he can transform into lightning and move to any unoccupied square within 60 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity. He can make a single ranged attack before or after this movement.

This replaces quarry.

Control Weather (Sp)

At 16th level, a stormwalker can cast control weather as a spell-like ability once per day.

This replaces improved evasion.

Flash Shot (Su)

At 19th level, when a stormwalker uses flash step, he can make a ranged attack both before and after his movement. Both of these attacks are made at his highest base attack bonus.

This replaces improved quarry.
