Wild Empathy: ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus 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 ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
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.

Bio:
Leglaf grew up in the village of Yrda in Jossia where he spent most of his childhood listening to stories of the Yülthn in the longhouse of the All-Father. Enraptured by those stories, when he became a young man, he went on a pilgrimage to the holy site of Saemuniljeim. However, he was apparently waylaid on that journey because when he returned from it, he was not only an embittered man but he murdered the king of Yrda and was found to be an initiate of Jörn. He was caught by a party of adventurers led by Rilka, another prodigal of Yrda, and strapped to a pole in the center of the village and made to confess his crimes. As he was about to reveal the location of the temple of Jörn, he was assassinated by his compatriot, a fellow acolyte who was sent with him to monitor his progress. This compatriot was also captured by the party of adventurers and held in the local temple of Bruni.
