The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit. #### Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. ### Ranger Path At 2nd level, you devote yourself to a ranger path. Choose one of the following paths. * **Horizon Walker:** An arcane guardian of the breaches between planes. * **Beasblood:** A lycan who has mastered their monstrous form. * **Shaman:** A spiritualist who has formed a strong bond with a spirit of the wild. * **Slayer:** An apex hunter, an unstoppable force of termination. * **Survivalist:** A master of the wild, knowledgeable in every aspect of survival. * **Warden:** A guardian of the wild, using druidic magic to defend the wild. Your choice grants you features at 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 15th levels. ### Tamer Though many learn to handle pets and train animals, rangers have a special bond with wild beasts that far surpasses even the most talented of mundane trainers. At 2nd level, you can spend a short or long rest interacting with a willing beast of challenge rating 1/2 or lower to create a temporary bond of friendship with it. Until you use this feature on another beast, you can communicate simple ideas with the animal and understand its responses. It will follow you as a companion and attempt to carry out your instructions to the best of its ability, but may leave if mistreated. \pagebreakNum In combat, the beast acts on your turn, and can move without any action from you. If you do not use your bonus action to command it, it will take the Dodge action. If you command it, it can take any other action you wish it to. While bonded with you, its proficiency bonus is replaced with yours, and it adds its proficiency bonus to its AC, attack rolls, damage rolls, and all saving throws. It gains a number of extra hit dice equal to your ranger level and increases its hit point maximum accordingly. If the beast had multiattack, it loses that feature while bonded with you. The beast does gain the same benefits as you from your Favored Terrain and Favored Prey features. Once you have bonded with a creature in this manner, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. The maximum challenge rating of the beast increases to 1 when you reach 6th level, and to 2 when you reach 14th level. ### Favored Prey At 3rd level, you learn how to hunt your prey with expert efficiency. Choose a favored prey from the following types: beasts, fey, humanoids (two races, may choose multiple times), monstrosities, or undead.

You also add your Wisdom modifier to damage rolls against your favored prey with weapon attacks. During a long rest, you may decide to replace one of your chosen favored prey with another favored prey, but you must have spent at least 1 hour studying the behavior of a creature of the chosen type at some point within the past week to do so. At 5th level, you can have up to two favored prey at a time.

As part of this action, you may take the Disengage or Hide actions, or make a single weapon attack. * **Maul:** As a bonus action, you can command your companion to maul a creature within its reach by expending a hunter's die. To maul, your companion makes a Shove, Grapple, or Attack against the creature. If it succeeds on the check or attack roll, the targeted creature takes damage equal to a hunter's die roll + your Wisdom modifier (the additional damage is of the type of one of the companion's attacks of your choice). You also have advantage on your next attack against the mauled creature before the end of your next turn. ### Primal Strikes At 6th level, your companion's attacks count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances. ### Swift Reflexes At 9th level, you can use up to two reactions per round. Additionally, as a reaction to being surprised, you can either command your companion or take the Attack action. ### Traveler At 11th level, you choose a second terrain from the Favored Terrain feature.

Your choice should depend on terrains you've been in during your travels. ### Hunter's Supremacy At 13th level, you can decide to reroll a hunter's die result, but you must use the new result. You can do so a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest. Additionally, you can forgo rolling a hunter's die, and instead choose to use the highest result. After doing so, you must finish a long rest before doing so again. ### Attuned Senses At 18th level, So long as you can see or hear, you have blindsight out to 30 feet. Your companion also gains this feature. ### Flawless Accuracy At 20th level, your attacks seem to always find their target. Once per turn when you miss with an attack roll, you can decide to hit instead. ## Ranger Paths ### Horizon Walker #### Detect Portal As an action, you can learn the distance and direction towards the closest planar portal within 1 mile of you.

While in your hybrid form, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered, but you are vulnerable to damage from silvered weapons. Your unarmed attacks now deal slashing damage equal to the roll of a hunter's die, and have the Finesse property. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike, you can make another unarmed strike as a bonus action. At the start of your turn, if you’ve taken any damage since the beginning of your last turn, you must make a Wisdom saving throw to maintain control. The DC equals 10, or half of the total damage you’ve taken from attacks since your last turn, whichever number is higher.

You then regain control for the remainder of your turn. #### Alpha Predator At 7th level, your unarmed strikes while in hybrid form count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances.

You can cast *conjure animals* as a 5th level spell without expending a spell slot. Once you use this feature you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

For example, a wolf spirit can only summon Blink Dogs, Death Dogs, Dire Wolves, Giant Hyenas, Hyenas, Jackals, Mastiffs, Wolves, or Worgs, while a cat spirit would summon Cats, Lions, Panthers, Saber-Toothed Tigers, or Tigers. It is up to the DM to determine what is thematically appropriate for your chosen animal spirit. #### Bestial Tandem At 15th level, you and your companion have bonded to the point that you are almost indistinguishable from each other in combat.

If you spend an hour hiding your campsite, which can be no more than 20 feet long on a side for this feature to work, then creatures who didn’t see you hide the campsite are at disadvantage on any check made to find it. #### Improved Medicine At 7th level, you learn the following techniques: * **Painkilling Herbs:** Over the course of 1 minute, you can apply painkillers to a number of creatures within reach equal to your Wisdom modifier by expending a hunter's die. For each creature, roll your hunter's die twice and add your Wisdom modifier, and that creature gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the total. * **Inoculation:** Over the course of 1 minute, you can inoculate a number of creatures within reach equal to your Wisdom modifier by expending a hunter's die. The creatures all gain resistance to poison damage, and have advantage on saves against the Poisoned condition for 8 hours. Additionally, you can end one nonmagical disease or condition affecting the target. The condition can be Blinded, Deafened, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. \pagebreakNum #### Rugged Authority At 10th level, the creatures of the wild recognize you and your companion as higher beings, and will often avoid attacking you, or might even come to you in times of need. When a beast or plant creature targets you or your companion with an attack, it must first make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency + your Wisdom modifier). On a success, it continues with the attack. On a failure, it must choose a different target or forfeit the attack. Additionally, you gain the ability to communicate with beasts and plants. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate ideas to any beast or plant you can see and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it. You can’t use this feature to communicate with a creature that you or your allies have attacked in the last hour. #### Eyes of the Prey At 15th level, you understand prey and predator alike, and know how to use the behaviors of both to your advantage. You have advantage on any Perception check made to locate a hidden creature. You also cannot be surprised. Additionally, you act twice on the first round of combat; once on initiative count 20, and once on your initiative roll. If you rolled a 20 for your initiative, you can take two full turns in a row. ### Warden #### Guardian Magic When you choose this path at 2nd level, your connection to nature and druid circles gives you access to spells. ***Preparing and Casting Spells.*** The Warden Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells, and what the level of those spell slots is. To cast one of your ranger or druid spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid or ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a short or long rest. ***Druidic Arcanum.*** At 13th level, choose a single 4th level spell from the druid or ranger spell list as this arcanum. You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot, and must finish a long rest before doing so again. At 17th level, you gain a 5th level arcanum. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may replace one of your arcanum spells with a druid or ranger spell of same level of your choice. ***Spellcasting Ability.*** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. You also 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 + proficiency + Wisdom **Spell attack modifier** = proficiency + Wisdom ***Ritual Casting.*** You can cast any druid or ranger spell as a ritual if it has the ritual tag and you have it prepared. ##### Warden Spellcasting | Ranger Level | Spell Slots | Slot Level | |:---:|:---:|:---:| | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 3 | 2 | 1 | | 5 | 2 | 2 | | 9 | 2 | 3 | | 11 | 3 | 3 | | 17 | 4 | 3 | #### Guardian Soul Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to temporarily grow and take on the appearance of a treelike person, covered with leaves and bark. As a bonus action, you assume this guardian form by expending a hunter's die, which lasts until you end it as a bonus action or until you are incapacitated. You undergo the following changes while in your guardian form: * Your size becomes Large, unless you were larger. * Any speed you have becomes 10, unless it was slower. * Your reach increases by 5 feet. * At the beginning of each of your turns, roll a hunter's die and gain that many temporary hit points. These temporary hit points dissipate if you leave your guardian form. #### Warden's Superiority At 3rd level, you are a master of defending the wild and the beautiful. You gain the following technique: * **Warding Imposition:** When you or an ally within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to impose a druidic shield between the target and the source of damage by expending a hunter's die. Roll the hunter's die, add your Wisdom modifier, and reduce the damage taken by the total. After taking the damage, the target gains temporary hit points equal to the total rolled. #### Herbal Nature At 7th level, your guardian form starts leaking into your normal form. While not wearing armor, you can calculate your AC as 13 + your Dexterity modifier, and your unarmed damage increases to 1d6. You also gain the ability to photosynthesize sunlight into nourishment. If you spend at least 4 hours in direct sunlight, you don't need to consume food for that day. Additionally, while in guardian form, you gain an additional set of tree limbs that can be used to make unarmed attacks, Grapple or Shove actions, or hold and manipulate objects. #### Ancient Fortitude At 10th level, your hit point maximum increases by 10, and increases by an additional 1 whenever you gain a level in this class. You also have advantage on saves and checks to avoid being moved against your will, grappled, or knocked prone. Additionally, while in guardian form, the ground within 30 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies, as you twist and turn the earth under you. \pagebreakNum #### Warden Aura At 15th level, your guardian form emanates a magical aura that fortifies your injured allies. When any ally starts their turn within 30 feet of your guardian form, that ally regains a number of hit points equal to half your ranger level. This aura has no effect on a creature that has half or more of its hit points, and it has no effect on undead and constructs. \pagebreakNum <div class='spellList'> # Horizon Walker Spells ##### Cantrips (0 Level) - Booming Blade - Dancing Lights - Green-Flame Blade - Mage Hand - Message - Minor Illusion - Prestidigitation - Shillelagh - Sword Burst - True Strike \columnbreak ##### 1st Level - Chromatic Orb - Detect Evil and Good - Expeditious Retreat - Faerie Fire - Magic Missile - Protection from Evil and Good - Shield ##### 2nd Level - Blur - Invisibility - Mirror Image - Misty Step - Moonbeam - Shadow Blade - Spiritual Weapon - Zone of Truth ##### 3rd Level - Blink - Counterspell - Dispel Magic - Haste - Magic Circle - Remove Curse - Slow - Spirit Guardians - Thunder Step ##### 4th Level - Banishment - Charm Monster - Conjure Minor Elementals - Dimension Door - Elemental Bane - Greater Invisibility - Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum - Otiluke's Resilient Sphere </div>
