Wild Empathy

With this class feature a ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person.

The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions.

The ranger 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.
