At 2nd level, you gain one wild talent of your choice. Your wild talent options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain strider levels, you gain additional talents of your choice, as shown in the Talents known column of the Strider table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the wild talents you know and replace it with another wild talent that you could learn at that level. ### Strider's Track At 3rd level, you choose a track that represents a focus in your skills down a particular path. Choose either the Stalker's Track, the Boundless Track, or the Guardian's Track, each detailed at the end of the class description, in addition to the Despoiler Track; an evil option. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. \pagebreakNum ### Primeval Awareness At 3rd level, your senses are sharp, making them difficult to foil. You gain the following benefits at the levels stated. ***Feral Senses.*** Beginning at 3rd level, when you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it does not impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. ***Gut Feeling.*** At 10th level, you have advantage on initiative rolls. ***Hunter's Instincts.*** Starting at 18th level, you cannot be surprised, and you know the location of any invisible creatures within 30 feet of you, provided the creature isn’t hidden from you and you aren’t blinded or deafened. ### 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. ### Extra Attack Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. ### Rugged Endurance Starting at 6th level, you hone your fortitude to avoid and overcome injury. You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws and add twice your Constitution modifier to each hit die when you expend them during a short rest instead of only once. ### Warden’s Authority Beginning at 8th level, your time in the wilds has taught you the best ways to deal 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 sound and gestures, you may communicate simple ideas with beasts and plant creatures. Additionally, you can use your action to call out to a hostile beast or plant creature within 60 feet of you that can hear you. The creature becomes indifferent to you and your allies for 10 minutes unless it succeeds on a Wisdom saving throw against a DC equal to 10 + your Wisdom modifier + your Proficiency bonus. The creature becomes hostile again if you or your companions do anything harmful to it. Otherwise, after the 10 minutes has passed, the creature acts according to how it was treated during the 10 minutes. If it has any reason to not become hostile again, it will remain indifferent, or potentially become friendly at the DM’s discretion. ### Patient Focus Starting at 11th level, you can dedicate your efforts to concentrate on honing in your focus. As an action on your turn, you can advance your focus level by 2. ### Ambuscade At 14th level, you have learned to strike first and strike hard. When you roll initiative, you gain a special turn that takes place before other creatures can act. On this turn, you can use your action to take either the Attack or Hide action, or the special action granted by your Patient Focus class feature. If more than one creature in an encounter has this feature, they all act first in order of initiative, then the regular initiative order begins. You cannot take this special turn if you are surprised at the start of combat. ## Strider Track The ideal of the strider has several incarnations, as there is more than one way to skin an owlbear so to speak. The track you choose to walk further specializes the way in which you hunt your quarry and is often a reflection of the reason you wander the wilds. ### The Stalker's Track Predators in the truest sense of the word, those that walk the Stalker's track are expert killers, hunting their quarry with quiet patience. #### Predator's Focus Starting at 3rd level, a creature now remains your focus even after combat ends. Outside of combat, you can choose a creature you can see that is within 300 feet of you to be your focus. A creature stops being your focus if it dies, is ever more than 6 miles from you, or you choose a new focus. You can increase your focus level against your focus by 1 if you spend 1 minute observing it. You must remain hidden from it for the duration of the minute in order to successfully increase your focus level and your focus level cannot exceed your proficiency bonus when you increase it in this way. #### The Scent of Blood Beginning at 3rd level, when you hit your focus with an attack, you can reduce your focus level by an amount up to your proficiency bonus, causing them to bleed for that many rounds. You cannot increase your focus level in the same round that you use this feature. While bleeding, your focus takes 1d4 slashing damage at the end of their turn. If your focus dies, it stops bleeding. You cannot choose a new focus until your current focus stops bleeding. Additionally, if your focus was bleeding at any time during combat, and is still alive after the combat ends, you have advantage on any Wisdom or Intelligence check you make to find or track them. \pagebreakNum #### Size Up the Prey At 7th level, you have developed a knack for discerning the best ways to hurt a creature. As an action, you can make a Wisdom ability check and add your current focus level to the roll, which is contested by your focus' Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed on the check, you learn whether your focus has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. In order to use this special action, you must be within 60 feet of your focus and they must be visible to you. If you fail the check, you cannot attempt it again on the same creature until you finish a short rest. #### Efficient Takedown Beginning at 15th level, you are adept at harrying your prey to prevent their escape. Once per turn when you hit your focus with a weapon attack, you can force them to make a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). On a failed save, they are knocked prone. If your focus level against them is 4 or higher, they have disadvantage on the saving throw. #### Stalker's Frenzy At 20th level, when you score a critical hit with a an attack against your focus, you can immediately make an additional attack against them. You can use this feature twice, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. ### The Boundless Track Striders of the Boundless track walk always on the horizons between worlds. They draw on the energies that permeate the multiverse to aid themselves and allies. #### Planar Attunement When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you have learned to tap into the energies of other planes of existence, drawing on some of the most primal magic in existence. ***Attunements.*** You learn three attunements of your choice. Many attunements enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one attunment per attack. You learn two additional attunements of your choice at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Each time you learn new attunements, you can also replace an attunement you know with a different one. ***Link Dice.*** You have four link dice, which are d8s. A link die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended link dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another link die at 7th level and one more at 15th level. ***Attunement Saving Throws.*** Some of your attunements require creatures to make a saving throw to resist the attunement’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: <center> **Attunement save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier </center> \columnbreak #### Wayfinder When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your attunement to the energies of the planes allows you to easily find planar portals. Whenever you finish a short rest, you can detect the distance and direction of the nearest planar portal to you. #### Planar Shunt Starting at 7th level, while your focus level is 6, when you hit your focus with an attack, you can cast *banishment* on your focus as part of the attack.

Your normal focus level 6 benefit cannot apply to the same attack as this feature. #### Outsider Starting at 15th level, you can cast the *planeshift* spell on yourself and up to 6 willing creatures without material components. You can cast it in this way a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. #### Horizon Walker At 20th level, you are always under the effects of the *far step* spell. Additionally, when you teleport on your turn, you have advantage on the next attack roll you make before the end of that turn. #### Attunements The attunements are presented in alphabetical order. ***Apathy.*** When a creature you can see within 30 feet rolls initiative, you can use your reaction and expend a link die to cause visions of bleak Hades to flash in its mind. The target subtracts the link die roll from its initiative roll. ***Apocryphal Tap.*** When you make an Intelligence check to recall a piece of lore or a fact, you can expend a link die and add it to your roll, as you listen to the whispering planes. ***Aspect of the Hunter.*** You can channel the unbound Beastlands to improve your hunting and stalking capabilities.

The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or subtract your link die from the next ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. ***Blessed Fields.*** On your turn, you can use a bonus action and expend one link die to shroud an ally in the warmth of Elysium. When you do so, choose a friendly creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature regains hit points equal to the link die roll + your Wisdom modifier. \pagebreakNum ***Carcerian Bindings.*** Immediately after you hit a creature with an attack on your turn, you can expend one link die and force the target to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target is restrained, wrapped in immaterial chains forged from the stuff of dreaded Carceri. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success it frees itself. On a failure, it takes necrotic damage equal to your link die roll. ***Champion's Might.*** You can tap into the heroic energies of Ysgard to temporarily bolster your fortitude. When you make a Strength or Constitution check, or a Strength or Constitution saving throw, you can expend one link die and add it to your roll. ***Clashing Elements.*** When you hit with an attack, you can expend one link die to channel the Elemental Chaos. Choose one of either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage. The attack deals damage of the type you chose instead of its normal damage, and you add the link die to the attack's damage roll. Damage you deal with this attack ignores resistance to the chosen damage type. ***Disorienting Gale.*** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one link die to expose it to the maddening winds of Pandemonium. You add the link die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target uses its reaction to move half its speed in a random direction. ***Entropy.*** When you or a creature you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll, damage roll, or saving throw, you can use your reaction and expend a link die to draw on the chaos of Limbo and alter the outcome of events. When you do this, you either add or subtract your link die from the roll. ***Ethereal Step.*** As a bonus action, you can expend a link die to shift from your current plane to the Ethereal Plane, as described in the *etherealness* spell. At the start of your next turn, you return to the plane you were in originally. The first time you hit with an attack on that turn, the attack deals force damage instead of its regular damage, and you add that link die to the attack’s damage roll. ***Fey Bewitchment*** Immediately after you hit a creature with an attack on your turn, you expend one link die and force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw. on a failed save, it glimpses an enchanting vista of the Feywild and is charmed by you until the end of your next turn.

You add the link die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target can't take reactions until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during its turn. On a 1 to 4, the creature does nothing. On a 5 or 6, the creature takes no action or Bonus Action and uses all its Movement to move in a randomly determined direction. On a 7 or 8, the creature makes a melee Attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach or does nothing if it can't make such an Attack. ***Psychic Winds.*** When you hit a creature with an attack, you can expend one link die to cause winds from the Astral Plane to assail your target. You add the link die to the attack’s damage roll, and the attack deals psychic damage instead of its normal damage. An attack benefitting from this attunement can cut a silver cord as describe in the *astral projection* spell. ***Selfish Hindrance.*** When an enemy you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, you can use your reaction and expend a link die to bewitch the target with the scent of Gehenna. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or change the target of its attack to be its nearest ally. If it has no allies within range of the attack, the creature can make its attack against the original target, but takes psychic damage equal to the link die roll if it hits with the attack. ***War Eternal.*** When your hit points are reduced to below half, you can use your reaction and expend a link die to tap into the fighting spirit of Acheron. When you do this, you gain temporary hit points equal to the link die roll + your Wisdom modifier, and your exhaustion level if you have any is reduced by 1. ### Guardian's Track #### 3rd level #### 3rd level #### 7th level #### 15th level #### 20th level \pagebreakNum ### Despoiler Conclave (needs to be switched from strider to new ranger) Most rangers serve to protect civilisation and the wilds, acting as a bulwark between the terrors of the wilds.
