## Major Changes
- Removed shield proficiency to attain more of a skirmisher feel and separate the class from the fighter.
- Natural Explorer has been buffed and decoupled from traveling. Your features will work anywhere now. Favored Terrain was buffed to include groupings of three terrains, so you gain the benefits of your favored terrain more often.
- Added a core combat feature in Focus.
- Changed and buffed some fighting style options.
- You no longer have a core class level 20 capstone, that is handled by your archetype.
- Added new features and buffed old ones.

## [Ranger](#the-ranger-remade)

Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms from the terrors of the wild, amid the dense-packed trees of trackless forests and across wide and empty plains, rangers keep their unending watch.

#### [Deadly Hunters](#the-ranger-remade)

Warriors of the wilderness, rangers specialize in hunting the monsters that threaten the edges of civilization - humanoid raiders, rampaging beasts and monstrosities, terrible giants, and deadly dragons. They learn to track their quarry as a predator does, and strike their prey hard and true. Their ability to find respite in any situation affords them a tenacity in their pursuits day in and day out.

Masters of the ambush, rangers are swift and deadly. Moving through the wilds and hiding themselves in brush and rubble, rangers scout out and stalk their target. Few enemies are able to catch a ranger off guard.

Thanks to their familiarity with the wilds, rangers acquire the ability to cast spells that harness nature’s power, much as a druid does. Their spells, like their combat abilities, emphasize speed, fortitude, and the hunt.

With sword and spell, skill and sense, rangers stand guard on the untamed frontier. A ranger’s abilities are honed with deadly focus on the grim task of protecting the borderlands.

#### [Independent Adventurers](#the-ranger-remade)
Though a ranger might make a living as a hunter, a guide, or a tracker, a ranger's true calling is to defend the outskirts of civilization from the ravages of monsters and humanoid hordes that press in from the wild. In some places, rangers gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic circles. Many rangers, though, are independent almost to a fault, knowing that, when a band of orcs attacks, a ranger might be the first—and possibly the last—line of defense.

This fierce independence makes rangers well suited to adventuring, since they are accustomed to life far from the comforts of a dry bed and a hot bath. Faced with city-bred adventurers who grouse and whine about the hardships of the wild, rangers respond with some mixture of amusement, frustration, and compassion. But they quickly learn that other adventurers who can carry their own weight in a fight against civilization's foes are worth any extra burden. Coddled city folk might not know how to feed themselves or find fresh water in the wild, but they make up for it in other ways.

#### Class Themes
   
**Rangers are skirmishers.** They avoid direct confrontation in favor of sudden, deadly attacks that leave an opponent without the chance to make an
effective counterattack.

*Key Features:* Agile Predator, Focus

**Rangers are vigilant.** They are always are on guard and they have a sixth sense for danger. Its hard to get the drop on a ranger.

*Key Features:* Enhanced Senses, Mental Preparedness

**Rangers are the ultimate survivors.** They have
grit and can pull through most any situation. Their
toughness and instincts keep them alive.

*Key Features:* Quick Healer, Tenacity

**Rangers are masters of the wild.** They can wander a barren wilderness alone for months, living only on what they find. Their link to nature gives them supernatural abilities.

*Key Features:* Natural Explorer, Spellcasting

<div class='footnote'>THE RANGER REMADE</div>

\pagebreakNum

### [Natural Explorer](#the-ranger-remade)
You are particularly familiar with one archetypal natural environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions.

Choose one favored terrain archetype: air (forest, grassland, swamp), earth (cave, desert, mountain) or water (arctic, coast, sea). You have advantage on Intelligence (Nature) and Wisdom (Survival) checks while in your favored terrains.

Additionally, your travels give you deeply ingrained experience. Choose one of the following benefits:

**Outdoorsman.** You can use your Wisdom ability modifier in place of your Intelligence ability modifier on Nature checks.

**Polyglot.** You learn an additional number of languages equal to half your proficiency bonus.

**Rugged.** You can ignore the effects of first level exhaustion if you don't have additional exhaustion levels.

### [Quick Healer](#the-ranger-remade)
You heal abnormally fast.

At the end of a short rest, when you roll hit dice to recover hit points and roll a 1 or a 2, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll.

### [Focus](#the-ranger-remade)
At 2nd level, you can stabilize your mind even in the most hostile situation. You can enter a heightened state of focus as a bonus action.

While focusing, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor, holding a shield, raging, or affected by an impairing condition:

- You can add 1d4 to the damage of a weapon attack once per turn. The damage die increases as you level.
- Your speed increases by 10 feet.
- You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and Wisdom saving throws.
- You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throws you make to maintain concentration on a spell. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier.

Your focus lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated. You can also end your focus at any time you choose (no action required).

You can use this feature once. The amount of times you can focus increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Focuses column of the Ranger table. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

### [Fighting Style](#the-ranger-remade)
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.

\columnbreak

#### [Archery](#the-ranger-remade)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

#### [Defense](#the-ranger-remade)
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

#### [Great Weapon Fighting](#the-ranger-remade)
When you roll a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

#### [Two-Weapon Fighting](#the-ranger-remade)
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack. Also, when you draw or stow a weapon using your object interaction, you can draw or stow an additional weapon at any time during your turn.

### [Spellcasting](#the-ranger-remade)
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.

#### [Preparing and Casting Spells](#the-ranger-remade)
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of ranger 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.

For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell animal friendship, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### [Spellcasting Ability](#the-ranger-remade)
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your attunement 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 + <br>your Wisdom modifier

</div>

**Spell attack modifier =** your proficiency bonus +<br> your Wisdom modifier

</div>

<div class='footnote'>THE RANGER REMADE</div>

\pagebreakNum

### [Tenacity](#the-ranger-remade)
At 3rd level, you traverse nature with ease and conviction.

Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain — including climbing and swimming — costs you no extra movement.

### [Ranger Archetype](#the-ranger-remade)
When you reach 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger archetype, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level.

#### Archetype Spells
Each archetype has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the archetype description. Once you gain access to an archetype spell, you always have it known. Archetype spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you gain an archetype spell that doesn't appear on the ranger spell list, the spell is nonetheless a ranger spell for you.

### [Ability Score Improvement](#the-ranger-remade)
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](#the-ranger-remade)
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

\columnbreak

### [Agile Predator](#the-ranger-remade)
At 6th level, you have the reflexes, speed, and senses of a wild beast.

You can use the Dash, Disengage, or Search action as a bonus action on your turn.

### [Deft Warrior](#the-ranger-remade)
Starting at 11th level, focusing enhances your coordination to an exceptional level.

While focusing, you can add your Focus Die to the damage of a weapon attack twice per turn.

### [Mental Preparedness](#the-ranger-remade)
At 14th level, you learn how to think swiftly and maintain composure in difficult situations.

At the beginning of combat, if you aren't incapacitated, you can enter into a state of focus without the use of your bonus action. If you are surprised, you can act normally on your first turn when you focus in this way.

### [Enhanced Senses](#the-ranger-remade)
At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that cumulatively act as a sixth sense.

Your inability to see a non-hidden creature does not impose disadvantage on or create advantage against you. You are aware of the location of any creature within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated.

<div class='footnote'>THE RANGER REMADE</div>

\pagebreakNum

## [Ranger Archetypes](#the-ranger-remade)
Across various terrains, rangers emulate archetypes whose members share a common set of abilities and outlooks on their place in nature and society. These members generally form a loosely organized conclave, the degree to which the ranger is involved varies depending on the archetype.

### [Nomadic Curator](#the-ranger-remade)

___
*<p> Hear the rime of the ancient mariner*
*<p> See his eye as he stops one of three*
*<p> Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests*
*<p> Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea*
___
*<p> And the music plays on, as the bride passes by*
*<p> Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale*
___

Wandering from tribes to towns to civilizations, the Nomadic Curator observes and records history in the making, so that others might be protected from repeating the follies of today. However, this nomad is also a daring plunderer, delving into ruins in search of long-lost culture or ancient artifacts. In light of this, the Nomadic Curator is not above theft, petty or pivotal. They are part of a larger if not loosely affiliated conclave, each member carrying out their own mission.

#### [Nomadic Curator Magic](#the-ranger-remade)
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Nomadic Curator Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you can prepare.

##### [Nomadic Curator Spells](#the-ranger-remade)
| Ranger Level  | Spells |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd   | *Comprehend Languages, Identify* |
|  5th   | *Knock* |
|  9th   | *Tongues* |
|  13th  | *Fabricate* |
|  17th  | *Legend Lore* |

#### [Eye for Detail](#the-ranger-remade)
At 3rd level, you have a knack for picking out items that may be of significance to your objective.

As an action, you can learn the location of the most relevant object to you within 30 feet.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

#### [Redirection](#the-ranger-remade)
At 7th level, you can see and manipulate a creature's flow of power.

If you have a free hand and a creature attempts and fails an unarmed attack, grapple, or shove against you, you can use your reaction to shove the creature prone. The creature must be your size or smaller.

\columnbreak

#### [Discerning Knowledge](#the-ranger-remade)
At 10th level, you have a demanding interest in cultures past and present.

You can learn where a humanoid creature is from and what languages they can speak just by looking at them.

#### [Thieving Strike](#the-ranger-remade)
At 15th level, your attacks have pinpoint precision and accuracy. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can force it to drop one item of your choice in its possession. The target must make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose.

As part of the same attack, if you have a free hand you can make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check of DC 20. If you succeed, you can immediately grab the object and stow it. Otherwise the object lands at the creature's feet.

Emulating the Hunter archetype means accepting your place as a bulwark between civilization and the wilderness. As you walk the Hunter's path, you become adept at techniques to track and find your prey.

#### [Evasion](#the-ranger-remade)
At 20th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an ice storm spell.

The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the world. United in focus, beast and ranger work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike.

A Beast Master has no conclave, relying solely on their companion for assistance.

At 3rd level, while wandering the wilds, a ranger encounters many sorts of animals, some of which the ranger might befriend.

You can spend 1 hour and use gathered herbs to summon a primal beast from the wilderness. Through this encounter, friendship can arise from successful use of the Animal Handling skill, the Animal Friendship spell, or through some other means at your discretion.

If the resulting bond is strong enough, you gain a primal beast companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you. You decide whether it is a Beast of the Air or the Earth, and you determine its appearance. You can change these characteristics at the end of a long rest.

*<p> Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink."*
___

The Mariner archetype embodies a life of hardship and exploration. They scour the open seas, looking to do battle with danger that lies in depths unfathomable. While the Mariner is most comfortable thrill-seeking in endless water, they are no stranger to life on land.

___

Dark Knights 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 Dark Knight 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. Other Dark Knights are distrustful of each other and thus only cooperate or exchange information very rarely.

#### [Dark Knight Magic](#the-ranger-remade)
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Dark Knight Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you can prepare.

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.

Heralded Scions are the product of humans intermingling with elvish blood across millennia. Eventually, a descendant is produced that is bound by fate to lead men out of darkness in a time of great crisis. A Heralded Scion's ancestry produces virtuous yet subtle abilities that grants them longevity and the command of nations. Due to the exceptional circumstances of their birth, Heralded Scions have no conclave, though they have the aegis of kindred elves.

#### [Restriction: Humans Only](#the-ranger-remade)

Those who emulate the Warden archetype are protectors and conservators of nature. A Warden gives service to powerful druids to protect places of power and observe a given territory.

#### [Imbued](#the-ranger-remade)
At 3rd level, magical essence from a druidic place of power imbues your life force.

You can meditate on a quarterstaff for an hour. Upon finishing, the quarterstaff has a permanent Shillelagh effect unless the quarterstaff is out of your possession for an hour. You can use your quarterstaff as a spellcasting focus.

Additionally, any pebbles you touch have a Magic Stone effect until touched by another creature.

#### [Elemental Distraction](#the-ranger-remade)
At 7th level, you can command natural forces such as wind, vines, mud, or water to assist your allies.

As a reaction, you can use the Help action up to 30 feet away from your target. 
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

#### [Warden Talk](#the-ranger-remade)
At 10th level, you have a deep connection with the domain you are tasked to ward.

You can magically communicate with plants as if you shared a common language, asking them about events in their area within the past day, gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other circumstances.

#### [Forest's Blessing](#the-ranger-remade)
At 15th level, you can call on natural forces to heal a creature in need.

Using a bonus action, you can attempt to stabilize a downed creature you can touch by making a Intelligence (Nature) check of DC 15. If you succeed, the creature is stabilized and any amount in excess of the DC gives the creature hit points equal to that amount.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

#### [Natural State](#the-ranger-remade)
At 20th level, your mind has become acclimated to the poise of nature.

You can concentrate on up to two different spells at once. Concentration for both spells are lost on a failed save throw. You can voluntarily end concentration on one spell without ending concentration on the other.
	
The combined level of the spells cannot exceed 5th level. For example, you can concentrate on a 3rd level spell and a 2nd level spell but not on two 3rd level spells.
	
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
