At 6th level and every five levels thereafter, the woodsman may select an additional favored terrain from those given on the table. Table: Woodsman Favored TerrainsType (Subtype)ForestJungle/RainforestDesert, HotPlains/GrasslandsSwamp/MarshAquatic/UnderwaterMountains/HillsUnderground/UnderdarkTundra/Arctic Desert Ambush: During a surprise round, the woodsman can make an attack against any target who hasn't yet acted. If successful, such an attack by a 2nd level woodsman deals +1d6 points of extra damage. This amount increases by +1d6 points for every five woodsman levels thereafter (7th, 12th, and 17h). Creatures immune to sneak attacks (such as undead, constructs, oozes, and plants) are likewise not vulnerable to this special damage. A ranged attack delivers the extra damage only if the target is within 30 feet. If the character already has the sneak attack ability from a previous class, the extra damage for an ambush stacks with his sneak attack damage, but only if conditions are also right for a sneak attack. Track: A woodsman gains Track as a bonus feat. Wild Empathy (Ex): A woodsman can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The woodsman rolls 1d20 and adds his woodsman level and his Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.To use wild empathy, the woodsman and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.A woodsman can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.Bonus Feats: At 1st level, a woodsman gets a bonus feat in addition to the feat that any 1st-level character gets and the bonus feat granted to a human character. The woodsman gains an additional bonus feat at 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 18th, and 20th level. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as woodsman bonus feats. A woodsman must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. A woodsman is not limited to the list of woodsman bonus feats when choosing these feats. Animal Companion (Ex): At 4th level, a woodsman gains an animal companion selected from the following list: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light or heavy), owl, pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), or wolf. If the campaign takes place wholly or partly in an aquatic environment, the following creatures may be added to the woodsman’s list of options: crocodile, porpoise, Medium shark, and squid. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the woodsman on his adventures as appropriate for its kind.This ability functions like the woodsman ability of the same name, except that the woodsman’s effective woodsman level is one-half his woodsman level. A woodsman may select from the alternative lists of animal companions just as a woodsman can, though again his effective woodsman level is half his woodsman level. Like a woodsman, a woodsman cannot select an alternative animal if the choice would reduce his effective woodsman level below 1st. Swift Tracker (Ex): Beginning at 9th level, a woodsman can move at his normal speed while following tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking. Trackless Step (Ex): Starting at 14th level, a woodsman leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. He may choose to leave a trail if so desired.</blockquote>
