Class Features

As a Ranger, you gain the following class features:

Quick Build

You can make a ranger quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score, followed by Wisdom. (Some rangers who focus on two-weapon fighting will be using weapons with finesse property to bypass the need for investing in Strength.)

Afterwards chose either the folk hero or outlander background.

Author's Note: In games where multiclassing is not allowed, I would advocate that the number of Hunting Grounds a Ranger can learn is equal to 1 + his Wisdom Modifier.

Spell Slots

The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Animal Friendship and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Animal Friendship using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list. The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your Spellcasting ability for your ranger Spells, since your magic draws on your Attunement and Devotion to Nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your Spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

• Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

• Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you know that spell.

You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.

Hunter

Some rangers seek to master weapons to better protect civilization from the terrors of the wilderness. Members of the Hunter Conclave learn specialized fighting techniques for use against the most dire threats, from rampaging ogres and hordes of orcs to towering giants and terrifying dragons.

Gloom Stalker

Gloom stalkers are at home in the darkest places: deep under the earth, in gloomy alleyways, in primeval forests, and wherever else the light dims. Most folk enter such places with trepidation, but a gloom stalker ventures boldly into the darkness, seeking to ambush threats before they can reach the broader world. Such rangers are often found in the Underdark, but they will go any place where evil lurks in the shadows.

Horizon Walker

Horizon walkers guard the world against threats that originate from other planes or that seek to ravage the mortal realm with otherworldly magic. They seek out planar portals and keep watch over them, venturing to the Inner Planes and the Outer Planes as needed to pursue their foes. These rangers are also friends to any forces in the multiverse – especially benevolent dragons, fey, and elementals – that work to preserve life and the order of the planes.

Monster Slayer

You have dedicated yourself to hunting down creatures of the night and wielders of grim magic. A monster slayer seeks out vampires, dragons, evil fey, fiends, and other magical threats. Trained in supernatural techniques to overcome such monsters, slayers are experts at unearthing and defeating mighty, mystical foes.

Fey Wanderer

As a Fey Wanderer, you guard the border between the Feywild and the Material Plane, guiding the lost out of the Feywild and preventing dangerous fey from damaging the Material Plane. Your experience with both domains makes you an exceptional negotiator between inhabitants of these worlds, as you understand both humanoid mindsets and the wiles of the fey courts.

Swarmkeeper

Feeling a deep connection to the world around them, some rangers reach out through their magical connection to nature and gather a host of fey spirits, which take the form of swarming beasts—be they buzzing insects, fluttering birds, slippery squids, or otherwise. The swarm becomes a potent force in battle, as well as helpful—if potentially disturbing—company for the ranger. Some Swarmkeepers are outcasts or hermits, keeping to themselves and their attendant swarms rather than dealing with the discomfort of others. Other Swarmkeepers enjoy building vibrant communities that work for the mutual benefit of all those they consider part of their swarm.

Feywild Warden

Fey Wardens have formed a connection with the Feywild. Fey Wardens often serve as stalwart protectors of their community through luring away interlopers and boldly seeking out and thwarting evil whenever possible.

In order to enable your Feywild to follow you to your native realm, you can use magic to summon them under the guise of native creatures.

Unlike a Fey Wanderer, as a Warden you are duty bound first and foremost to the well being of the Fey.

Sentinel of the Circle

These are a special kind of Rangers that work alongside Druidic Circles to help safeguard their territory. Due to common training practices with the druids, sentinel rangers are more knowledgeable regarding magic than most types of rangers.

Blackguard

These rangers are often seen as on the wrong side of the law. Be it smugglers, bandits or former slaves, the Blackguards often hide in the shadows and dispose of anyone that gets in the way.

Divine Enforcer

The divine enforcer has sworn an oath to combat evil. They prefer striking down their foes from afar, and empowering their allies with divine magic.

Nomad

Some rangers are tireless wanderers, with a hunger for exploring the world and have undertaken the path of the Nomad. These rangers find themselves with a breath of skill and an innate self reliance. Some will dedicate their lives to solitude, while others seek the company of kindred spirits.

Favored Enemy

Choose two types of favored enemy: Aberrations, Beasts, Celestials, Constructs, Dragons, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, Giants, Monstrosities, Oozes, Plants, or Undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as Gnolls and Orcs) as favored enemies.

Gathered Swarm

A swarm of intangible nature spirits has bonded itself to you and can assist you in battle. Until you die, the swarm remains in your space, crawling on you or flying and skittering around you within your space.

Once on each of your turns, you can cause the swarm to assist you in one of the following ways, immediately after you hit a creature with an attack:

• The attack’s target takes 1d6 piercing damage from the swarm.

• The attack’s target must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be moved by the swarm up to 15 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice.

• You are moved by the swarm 5 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice.

Additionally you can determine its appearance, or you generate its appearance by rolling on the table bellow (this is done once upon obtaining this feature and is a permanent choice)

Writhing Tide

Upon reaching the 6th level you can condense part of your swarm into a focused mass that lifts you up. As a bonus action, you gain a flying speed of 10 feet and can hover. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Mighty Swarm

Upon reaching the 10th level your Gathered Swarm grows mightier in the following ways:

The damage of Gathered Swarm increases to 1d8. If a creature fails its saving throw against being moved by Gathered Swarm, you can also cause the swarm to knock the creature prone. When you are moved by Gathered Swarm, it gives you half cover until the start of your next turn.

Swarming Dispersal

Upon reaching the 14th level you can discorporate into your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.

• When you cast the "Find Familiar" spell, as a Ranger spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or a beast that is no larger than Medium and that has a challenge rating of 1/8. Any creature you summon via this spell will count as a fey as opposed to it's normal type and will be able to take the attack action.

Beast Master themed supplements

Here are 2 variants of the Beast Master class for Romanian Ranger. The reason these are separate is because I could not decide which version should go in this homebrew as the best choice. Link for this rework is located here:
