Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Warder is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light and medium armor and shields (including tower shield).
Warder Damage: As a skilled hunter, the Warder knows how to strike certain creatures for extra damage. The Warder does an extra d4 in damage against animals, giants, humanoids, and monstrous humanoids with melee attacks or ranged attacks within 30 feet. This extra damage is increased to a d6 at 2nd level, a d8 at 4th level, a d10 at 6th level and a d12 at 8th level. At 4th level the Warder also does Warder damage to dragons, fey, and magical beasts, at 7th level to aberrations and outsiders. Warder damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
Armor Focus: The Warder receives the Armor Focus feat for light armor. At 3rd level the Warder receives Armor Focus with medium armor, at 6th level with shield. If Warder already has the particular Armor Focus feat, then he can take one of the Warder bonus feats provided he meets the prerequisites for it.
Bonus Feats: At 2nd, 5th and 8th levels the Warder receives a bonus feat. The Warder must meet the prerequisites for the feat. The Warder can choose from: Aim, Armored Ranger, Far Shot, Hawkeye, Improved Shield Bash, Many Shot, Mounted Combat, Precise Shot, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Run, Shot on the Run, or Skill Focus (any class skill).
Druid and Ranger Warders: Druid and ranger Warders add their Warder level to their druid or ranger level when using wild empathy, and to determine the properties of their animal companion.
