I'd rather stick with the stuff in the PRD for now as there's a ton of stuff out there that I'm not even remotely familiar with. Also, I'm not a fan of drawback style mechanics, anyway. I prefer those to come out in roleplaying, without any mechanics associated with them.

Where can I find the freebooter archetype?
Drawbacks, like any traits are supposed to be role-played. ;) That's the intent of the them at least.

The Pazio PRD is not as well organized for finding stuff as the PFSRD, so I don't use it and almost everyone I know uses the PFSRD instead because it is better. When you go to a class, all the archetypes are there in a table. At the Favored Class options are there listed for each of the races. Much of it is cross-linked as well.

The nice thing about using it and PbP is you don't have to be familiar with most of the stuff. You just have to know how or where to find what you are looking for. :)

Regarding the freebooter...the game is set pretty far inland. The ocean is several weeks ride to the west. The Barony of Vedlund sits at the eastern border, situated at the foot of the mountain range that separates Azgund from the Barren Lands, a vast expanse of steppes and wilderness.

Mechanically, it doesn’t have much to do with the sea (except for swimming at 7th level). However, I also took the World Traveler Trait to go along with my character having been outside of the Barony. I was thinking Donall could have traveled a few years around before game start and recently returned home to the Barony of Vedlund.

That'll work. With the World Traveler trait, I'll slip in random bits of world lore your character has picked up from his travels every now and then.

Okay, cool.

I worked on Donall’s backstory. :)
I also spent the rest of his money and I think I am good to go.

[Sblock=Background]Donall grew up in the Barony of Vedlund in a village near the forests on the western side of the lands. He was apprenticed to a scout in his early teens and it was assumed he would join the Vedlund Scouts. His mentor, Karl Jameson was not originally from the Barony, but from lands in western Azgund. Just before reaching his majority, Karl received a message requesting his presence back home and he took his apprentice with.


The trip west was a good opportunity to continue Donall’s training and expose him to life across Azgund instead of the more parochial views of the eastern barony. What was initially supposed to be a visit of a month or two, turned into 2 years, during which Donall reached his majority and became an adult.

To aid his mentor, Donall accompanied Karl on journey to tack down an errant cousin named Elsa that had run off with an unapproved suitor that stole from the Jameson family. They tracked the criminal and besotted girl to the capital and they escaped aboard a ship bound for the sub-continent of Telgar.

The pair of rangers followed overseas, but Karl fell ill during the journey and they had to spend a few weeks await his recovery to resume pursuit. After a few months, they caught up to the young female cousin; she had been abandoned in a brothel as the bastard continued to feel without her.

Donall was charged to escort Elsa back to Azgund while Karl intended to continue pursuit of the criminal. Being a young man and long overdue to return to the Barony of Vedlund, he took on the responsibility of escorting the young woman back home for the few months it would take. The journey was mostly uneventful and after the return celebration, Donall continued onwards to his own home village.

Upon his return to Vedlund, Donall heard the call from the Lord’s nephew Astor requesting volunteers to accompany the young man on his scouting expedition into orc territory and put a halt to raids on supply lines with Silvergard.[/Sblock]
