Hometown Advantage [Archetype]
Benefit: You gain a favored terrain similar to a pathfinder ranger and benefit from advantages when in that terrain type.
Archetype Feat Bonus are based on HD.
You have perfectly adapted to life in your hometown terrain, and it gives you tactical advantages. Some terrains are not necessarily cut and dry especially when transitioning from one to another. If an area fits the description of multiple different terrain types then they count as all those different terrains. Settlements of 200 population and smaller tend not to have streets, sewers, or significant clusters of buildings, and as such they just count as the terrain that surrounds their settlement rather than as an urban development.

|---|---|
| Aquatic | Underwater, surface waters and along tidal coasts |
| Desert | Sandy dunes and wastelands |
| Dungeons | Underground, caves and dungeons |
| Forest | Woodlands including coniferous, deciduous or tropical |
| Hills | Rolling hills, easy sloping rising landforms |
| Marsh | Bogs, marshes or swamps |

| Urban | Town, city and metropolis settlements
