Class Features

As a Ranger, you gain the following class features:

Natural Explorer

You are particularly familiar with the natural world, adept at traveling and surviving out in the wilds. You gain the following features:

Traveler. When you make a check relating to the natural world (such as recalling knowledge on plants and animals, or finding a suitable location to make camp), your proficiency bonus—if any—is doubled (unless you are already an expert in the relevant skill).

Tracker. While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and roughly how long ago it was that they passed through the area.

Strider. Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.

Trapper. You add your proficiency bonus to the DC for creatures to detect and avoid triggering the hunting traps that you place (statistics for hunting traps can be found on page 152 of the Player’s Handbook).

Forager. When you forage, you find twice as much food or water as you normally would.

Vigilant. Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger and thus canno.

Ranger's Quarry

You learn to read your prey, allowing you to strike deeper and truer. As a bonus action on your turn, you can choose a creature you can see within 120 feet of you and mark it as your quarry. You can maintain this mark for a number of hours equal to three times your Ranger level. You may only mark one creature at a time, however you may dismiss your mark as an action on your turn.

Whenever you hit your quarry with a weapon attack, you may add a Quarry Die to the attack's damage, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you make to find it.

If the target drops to 0 hit points before this effect ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn of yours to mark a new creature. Additionally, at 13th level, you may choose to use your reaction to shift the mark to another creature when the target drops to 0 hit points.

This effect ends if you fall unconscious, dismiss it as a bonus action, or fail to swap your quarry within a turn after the target reaches 0 hit points.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options.

You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace a fighting style you know with another style available to your class. This change represents a shift of focus in your martial training and practice, causing you to lose the benefits of one style and gain the benefits of another style.

Archery. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Druidic Warrior. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. They count as ranger spells for you, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the druid spell list.

Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target that is within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Thrown Weapon Fighting. You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon.

In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage roll.

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If you strike with two free hands, the d6 becomes a d8.

When you successfully start a grapple, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to the grappled creature. Until the grapple ends, you can also deal this damage to the creature whenever you hit it with a melee attack.

Guardian Sigils

Starting at 2nd level, you are able to channel your magic to cast a few simple but practical magic hexes used by rangers called guardian sigils. You can cast a sign in place of a weapon attack when you take the Attack action on your turn, this may only be done once per turn. You can't cast a sign while holding something in each hand or wielding a weapon with the two-handed property. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. If you begin combat and have no uses remaining, you regain 1d4 uses of this feature.

You learn two signs at 2nd level, and another at 5th, 9th, and 13th level.

Frost Sigil

You blow a powerful burst of frosty air at a creature within 15 feet. It must make a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet back and knocked prone. Until the end of their next turn, the creature's speed is reduced by 10 feet.

Storm Sigil

A tendril of lightning flashes towards a target creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit that creature takes 2d4 lightning damage and the lightning arcs to another creature of your choice within 15 feet of the original target causing them to take the same damage. This damage increases by 1d4 at 5th, 11th, and 17th level.

Spellcasting

At 2nd level, you’ve unlocked your natural born affinity with the elements in the form of spellcasting. See chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting. The ranger spell list will be provided at the end of this document.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one spell you learned from this Spellcasting feature with another spell from the ranger spell list. The new spell must be the same level as the spell you replace.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see Chapter 6 for a list of feats).

Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement feature from your class, you can also replace one of your skill proficiencies with a skill proficiency offered by your class at 1st level (the proficiency you replace needn’t be from the class). This change represents one of your skills atrophying as you focus on a different skill.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Skirmisher

Beginning at 6th level, your trained senses allow you to react quickly to the movement of enemies around you. Creatures within 30 feet of you provoke a ranged opportunity attack from you when they move to a space more than 30 feet away. In addition, when a creature more than 30 feet from you, moves to a space within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to move up to 15 feet. You must be able to see or otherwise sense the creature to use either reaction.

Multiattack

Starting at 10th level, your swift reflexes let you deal with hordes of enemies using you weapons. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Volley. Choose any number of creatures within 10 feet of a point you can see within your weapon’s range. You can use your action to make a separate ranged attack against each of them. You must have enough ammunition for each target.

Whirlwind Attack. Choose any number of creatures within your reach. You can use your action to make a separate melee attack against each of them. You can move up to half your speed while making the attack, targeting any number of creatures that are in your reach at any point during this movement.

One Through Nature

Beginning at 14th level, you can channel nature to extend your senses.

You can spend 1 minute touching a natural surface and focusing on it, after which you can shift your perspective as if your senses were originating from a point on that surface up to half a mile away, and you are blinded and deafened to your own senses. You can maintain this vantage point for up to 10 minutes if you don’t move, and can choose to end it at any time (no action required).

Feral Senses

At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can’t see. When you attack a creature you can’t see, your inability to see it doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. Additionally, creatures you cannot see do not gain advantage on attacks against you.

You are also aware of the location of any invisible creatures within 60 feet of you, provided that the creature isn’t hidden from you and you aren’t blinded or deafened.

Foe Slayer

At 20th level, you become a master at slaying your most hated foes. Once per turn, when you hit one of your favored enemies with a weapon attack, it takes an additional 2d8 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing, (your choice). If it has 30 or less hit points, it dies.

Master Survivalist

Your experience dealing with the forces of nature give you insight into the patterns and dangers of the wilderness. At 11th level, you can easily traverse even the harshest of terrain. You gain the following benefits:

• You cannot become lost, except by magical means.
• You have advantage on checks and saving throws to avoid becoming lost by magical means.
• Moving through magical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement and you ignore damage caused by moving through magical or nonmagical difficult terrain.
• You have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the entangle spell.
• You have advantage on saving throws against the effects of extreme weather.

Rugged Authority

Beginning at 15th level, your time in the wilds has taught you the best ways of dealing with its flora and fauna. Sentient plants and animals view you as a powerful or sympathetic figure and come to respect your authority.

You gain the ability to communicate with beasts and plants, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. 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.

Additionally, if you are within 60 feet of a hostile beast or plant creature, as an action, you can call out to it, either soothing it or commanding it to heed your authority. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or cease being hostile to you and your allies for 1 hour or until either you or an ally performs a hostile action against it.

Slayer's Sigil

When you choose this conclave at 3rd level, you gain access to the following sigil. You may use a sigil granted by your conclave a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier regaining all expended uses on a long rest.

Slayer's Prey

At 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. You can spend 1 day of downtime to prepare equipment and practice different tactics, so you can ready yourself for the enemies you will face. If you do and then complete a long rest, you can exchange the feature you selected for Slayer's Prey with a different one.

Colossus Slayer. Your tenacity can wear down the most potent foes. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage if it’s below its hit point maximum.

Giant Killer. When a Large or larger creature you hits or misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to attack that creature immediately after its attack, provided that you can see the creature. While using your reaction to attack in this way, the creature is considered within your reach.

Horde Breaker. Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.

Locate Origin

At 7th level, you gain the ability to track the source of your slain prey. When the target of your Hunter's Mark is reduced to 0 hit points, you can choose to move your Hunter's Mark to the creature's place of origin.

If the creature was created or summoned into this plane, the creator or summoner becomes the target of your Hunter's Mark. If the creature entered the plane by a portal or teleportation magic, the location they first entered this plane becomes the target of your Hunter's Mark. If the creature is native to this plane and was not created by magic, the creature's den, lair, or place of residence becomes the target of your Hunter's Mark.

Slayer's Defense

At 11th level, your defensive skills as a monster slayer are improved. You gain one of the following options of your choice. You can spend 1 day of downtime to prepare equipment and practice different tactics, so you can ready yourself for the enemies you will face. If you do and then complete a long rest, you can exchange the feature you selected for Slayer's Defense with a different one.

Multiattack Defense. When a creature hits you with an attack, you gain a +4 bonus to AC against all subsequent attacks made by that creature for the rest of the turn.

Evasion. When you are subjected to an effect, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a lightning bolt spell, that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on a saving throw, and only half damage if you fail

Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.

Battle Magic

At 15th level, you have mastered the art of weaving spellcasting and weapon use into a single harmonious act. When you use your action to cast a Ranger spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Primeval Lantern

When you join this conclave at 3rd level, you are able to make your own Primeval Lantern. A Primeval Lantern can be crafted over the course of a single 8-hour workday and requires 50 gold pieces worth of silver, quality wood, and fine oil and incense. A Primeval Lantern is a magic item with an AC of 16 and hit points equal to five times your ranger level. A Lantern casts bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Once lit, it burns indefinitely. As an action, you can lower a hood over the Lantern, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot radius.

A Lantern may only be used by the ranger who crafted it and may be used as a spellcasting focus. While within 60 feet of the Lantern, aberrations, celestials, fiends, fey, monstrosities, and undead all have a slight deterrence when approaching it.

As an action while holding the Lantern, you may intensify the primeval light of the Lantern. For the next 10 minutes, you may designate one type of creature as listed above to have the ire of the flames. Whenever a creature of that type would enter within 30 feet of the Lantern, it must make a Wisdom saving throw or have its speed dropped to 0 until the end of its turn. A creature who succeeds on this saving throw is immune to the effects of your Lantern for 24 hours.

Radiant Armaments

Starting at 7th level, you learn to draw from the radiant energy of your Lantern, and craft that energy into weapons.

Immediately before you would make a weapon attack, you can choose to conjure a radiant weapon to attack with. The weapon appears in your free hand, lasts until you attack with it, and takes the form of any weapon that you’re proficient with. It is identical to a normal weapon, except its damage type is radiant. Alternatively, you can infuse one of your own weapons with the radiant energy, for the same effects.

Also, once per round you can grant a conjured weapon an additional property based on its existing properties. If a weapon has multiple possible properties, you choose one of them when you conjure the weapon. The properties are listed below:

Dawntouched Blade. If the weapon you conjure is melee, you can cause it to deal 1d4 additional radiant damage on a hit.

Seeking Lightshot. If the weapon you conjure is ranged and requires ammunition, you can conjure magical radiant ammunition along with the weapon itself. When you miss with this ammunition, you can curve the attack to target another creature within 10 feet of the previous target. Reroll the attack against the new target, dealing half as much damage as normal on a hit. On a miss, the ammunition does not continue further.

Piercing Sunstrike. If the weapon you conjure has the finesse property, you can cause your attacks with the weapon to score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Blasting Radiance. If the weapon you conjure has the heavy property, you can cause your attacks with the weapon to push their target up to 10 feet away from you on a hit.

Sunlit Spear. If the weapon you conjure has the reach property, you can further increase your reach with the weapon by 10 feet.

Primeval Guidance

At 11th level, the light of your Primeval Lantern strengthens your allies. While within 10 feet of your Lantern, allied creatures gain a bonus to saving throws caused by creatures listed under Primeval Lantern equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

At 17th level, the area of effect of this ability increases to 30 feet.

Searing Radiance

Beginning at 15th level, when you deal radiant damage to a creature, you can use this feature to further increase the potency of your light and then transform it into healing energy. The creature takes 5d10 radiant damage, and you regain 5d10 hit points as the rays of primeval light magically return to you. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
