\pagebreakNum ### 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. ## 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. ## 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. ## Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. ### Spellcasting 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 Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the ranger spell list. ## Preparing and Casting Spells 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 cure wounds, 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 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 + your Wisdom modifier **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier ### Ranger Archetype At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate: the Hunter that is detailed at the end of the class description or one from another source. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level. ### Primeval Awareness Beginning at 3rd level, you can use your bonus action to focus your awareness on the region around you. For 10 minutes, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain): aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead or if it’s a creature of your favored enemy type. You know the general number of the creature types when you use this ability. If the creature is a favored enemy, you know their general threat level (what their CR or level they are) and the general direction they are, relative to you. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses. ### 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. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead. ### Extra Attack Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Page 3 | Tweaked Ranger
\pagebreakNum ### Primal Smites At 5th level, once per turn when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend a ranger spell slot to deal an extra 1d6 force damage to the target, plus another 1d6 per level of the spell slot to a maximum of 6d6. If the target is a creature type of your favored enemy, all damage dice from your *Primal Smites* become 1d8 instead of 1d6. Additionally when you use your *primal smite*, if you or the target are in your favored terrain, you magically restrain the target if it's of huge or smaller size with a magical environmental effect if it fails a strength save against you’re spell save DC. It is restrained in this way until the start of your next turn. ### Favored Foe At 6th level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy. Choose an additional type 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. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all. Additionally once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make against one of your favored enemies. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied. You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language, at 14th level. As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of monsters you have encountered on your adventures. ### Strider of the Land Starting at 8th level, your walking speed increases by 5 feet, you can dash as a bonus action and moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the entangle spell. ### Vanish in Plain Sight Starting at 10th level, you can you can use the Hide actions as a bonus action on your turn and you can’t be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail. Additionally, you can spend 1 minute creating camouflage for yourself. You must have access to fresh mud, dirt, plants, soot, and other naturally occurring materials with which to create your camouflage. If you are in your favored terrain it only takes you six seconds to camouflage yourself, you require only a handful of naturally occurring material, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in this state. Once you are camouflaged in this way, you can try to hide by pressing yourself up against a solid surface, such as a tree or wall, that is at least as tall and wide as you are. You gain a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks as long as you move at half-speed or less. Once you move faster than half your walking speed or take an action or a reaction, you must camouflage yourself again to gain this benefit. If you are in your favored terrain it only takes you an action to camouflage yourself, you require only a handful of naturally occurring material, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while camouflaged in addition to your initial +10 bonus, and you can move at your normal walking speed without having to camouflage again, provided you take no actions or reactions and use the hide bonus action at the end of each turn while camouflaged. ### Druidic Arcanum Starting at 14th level, your connection to the natural and spiritual world grants you a druidic boon called an arcanum. Choose one 5th-level, 6th-level or 7th-level spell from the druid spell list as this arcanum. After you gain a level in this class or finish a long rest you can exchange the druid spell for another one of 5th, 6th, or 7th level. You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again. ### Favored Foe At 14th level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy. Choose an additional type 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. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

Additionally once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make against one of your favored enemies. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

\pagebreakNum # Tweaked Ranger Conclaves ### Tweaked Beast Master The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the wild. United in focus, beast and ranger fight the monsters that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike. ##### Beast Master Features | Ranger Level | Features | |:----:|:-------------| | 3rd | Beast Master Magic, Ranger's Companion, Wild Bond | | 7th | Beastial Fury | | 11th | Share spells | | 15th | Savage Protection| ## Beast Master Spells When you reach certain levels in this class, you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Beast Master Spells table. Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the ranger spell list, the spell is nonetheless a ranger spell for you. ##### Beast Master Spells | Ranger Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 3rd | *Speak with Animals* | | 5th | *Beast Sense* | | 9th | *Conjure Animals* | | 13th | *Dominate Beast* | | 17th | *Awaken* | ## Ranger's Companion At 3rd level, you gain a beast companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you.

Add your proficiency bonus to the beast’s AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals the hit point number in its stat block plus your ranger level or fives times your ranger level, whichever is higher.

Once you have the Extra Attack feature, your beast can make one of the attacks when you take the Attack action provided it's within range of the target you are attacking. If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself.

While traveling through your favored terrain with only the beast, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. ## Wild Bond Starting at 3rd level as a bonus action, you can expend one spell slot to regain 1 d10 hit points per level of the spell slot expended for your beast if it’s within 30 feet of you.

If the beast dies, you expel it from your service, or is seperated from you, you can obtain a new companion by spending 1 hour magically bonding with a beast that isn’t hostile to you and that meets the requirements. If the beast is a favored foe or in your favored terrain it only takes 10 minutes to bond to it. ## Beastial Fury Starting at 7th level, when you command your beast companion to take the Attack action, the beast can make two attacks, or it can take the Multiattack action if it has that action. In addition, the beast's attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. ## Share Spells Beginning at 11th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you. At 20th level the range extends to 60 feet. ## Savage Protection Beginning at 15th level, any spell that would fail if cast on a creature with an intelligence higher than 4, suceed on your beast companion regardless of it's intelligence score and in comabt you can add your wisdom modifier to one attack or damage roll made by your beast on it's turn. When an enemy attempts to attack you or an ally you can see, you can use your reaction to command your beast to attack the enemy if your beast companion is within attacking range. If the beast’s attack is successful the enemy misses that attack roll.
