Tactics
Before Combat He affects a jovial demeanor and keeps targets distracted while his troops deploy. He may summon an ally to help distract or flank opponents.
During Combat He prefers to stay out of melee, not wanting to reveal that he’s not as skilled a swordsman as the tales about him suggest. In keeping with his reputation as an excellent strategist, he normally uses his hunter’s bond ability to advise his allies when battling humans or dangerous animals.
Morale He flees if in serious danger, knowing he can always get more followers by relying on his extensive reputation.

He has a +4 bonus on checks made to avoid starvation or thirst and on Fortitude saves to avoid nonlethal damage from hot environments (this is in addition to the benefits of the Endurance feat).
