Pack Leader

Wild Talent

The pack leader gains Wild Talent as a bonus feat. If the pack leader already has the psionic subtype, he instead gains Psionic Talent as a bonus feat.

This ability replaces wild empathy.

Manifesting

At 4th level, the pack leader gains manifesting as a gifted blade of one level lower. The pack leader must decide at 4th level to either select his powers from the gifted blade power list or from the marksman power list. Once this choice has been made, it cannot be changed.

This ability replaces spellcasting.

The Pack (Su)

At 4th level, the pack leader learns advanced techniques for fighting as a group. As a standard action, the pack leader can add up to his Wisdom modifier in creatures into his pack, which functions like the collective of a tactician with a class level equal to half of the pack leader’s ranger level (round down), but the pack can only have a maximum number of creatures equal to the pack leader’s Wisdom modifier. The pack leader does not count against this limit.

When members of the pack are attacking the same creature, they gain a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against that creature.

This ability replaces hunter’s bond.

Share Effects (Su)

At 7th level, when the pack leader manifests a power with a range of personal, he can expend his psionic focus to choose an additional target, so long as the target is a member of his pack.

At 15th level, he can choose two additional targets.

This ability replaces woodland stride.

Telepathy (Su)

At 10th level, the pack leader learns how to communicate with his pack mentally. All willing members of his pack (including the pack leader himself) can communicate with each other telepathically, even if they do not share a common language. Psionic creatures who are willing members in a pack (including the pack leader himself) may manifest unknown powers known by another willing psionic creature in the pack as if they were making physical contact.

This ability replaces the combat style feat normally gained at 10th level.
