*Book - Fields of Blood*

Commando

A commando succeeds where all others fail. No mission is too dangerous
for this cunning, mobile soldier. He always travels light, placing him at
a decided disadvantage against heavily armed and armored fighters in a
fair fight. However like life, war is rarely fair. Instead of depending upon
brawn and steel to win the day, the commando relies on stealth — both
of foot and blade — deception and ingenuity to neutralize opponents that
stand between him and his objective. Unlike conventional troops, which
are organized into larger units, the commando is typically part of a small
team or a lone warrior. In most military encounters, numerical superiority
plays a decisive role in a battle’s outcome, but not in the commando’s
case. He and his colleagues become one with the terrain, moving through
tall grasses to halt infantry and cavalry troops dead in their tracks. The
lightly armored and dexterous ranger uses such natural obstacles and
barriers to slip behind enemy lines with relative ease and incapacitate
foes without attracting attention to his clandestine activities. Though
few, if any, witness the commando in action firsthand, the aftermath is
unmistakable. Whether he rescued prisoners, destroyed a critical supply
depot, slew an important military figure or dispatched a group of sentries,
his destructive wake leaves a ruinous toll on the enemy.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Commandos are proficient with
all simple and martial weapons and with light armor and shields (except
tower shields).

Commando: At 1st level, a commando adds Disable Device to his list
of class skills and removes Handle Animal from his list of class skills.

Sneak Attack (Ex) At 1st level, a commando inflicts +1d6 points of
damage against targets within 30 feet that he flanks or that are denied their
Dex bonus to AC against him. This damage increases by +1d6 at 5th level
and every five levels thereafter. This ability replaces favored enemy.

Cover of Darkness (Ex) At 1st level, a commando gains low-light
vision. If he already has low-light vision, he gains darkvision with a
range of 30 feet. If he already has darkvision, the range of his darkvision
increases by 30 feet. This ability replaces wild empathy.

Behind Enemy Lines (Ex) Commandos are accustomed to acting
alone. At 4th level, when no ally is within 30 feet of the commando, he
gains a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. This bonus
increases by +1 at 8th level and every four levels thereafter to a maximum
of +5 at 20th level. This ability replaces hunter’s bond.

Dastardly Finish (Ex) At 11th level, a commando gains the Dastardly
Finish feat as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites.
This feat appears in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player’s
Guide. This ability replaces quarry.

Pinpoint Targeting (Ex) At 19th level, a commando gains the Pinpoint
Targeting feat as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites.
If he already has this feat, he can instead take any combat feat, but he must
meet the feat’s prerequisites. This ability replaces improved quarry.
