>##### HELLO
> I made this "alternate" version of the Ranger for the few of us, who rather enjoy the Player's Handbook version, but find it could use a few tweaks here or there (Hence the Name). It's essentially the PHB Ranger but with improvements, buffs, or reworks to every ranger class feature.
>
> All these rules and abilities are optional, so if there is a feature or ability you like, but want to mostly keep to the PHB ask your DM if you can exchange the feat/abilites that you like and keep the rest as is. 
>
> The balance may be off so feel free to tweak or customize this for however best works for you and your DM.
> The following are some of the changes and abilities added to the Ranger.
> * Favored enemy has foe slayer baked in and natural explorer gives individual buffs based on terrain.
> * The Ranger gains a few additonal proficiencies and starting equipment options.
> * The Ranger is now a Preparation Caster and can ritual cast.
> * Primeval Awareness no longer requires a spell slot to use.
> * Land's Stride also gives extra 5 feet walking speed and bonus action dash.
> * Hide in Plain Sight and vanish are rolled up into one ability.
> * The Ranger gains an action surge at level 14 that can give you an extra action or bonus action instead of the Vanish ability. 
> * Feral senses now gives limited blind sight and tremor sense.
> * Foe Slayer now works on all enemies and is doubled for favored enemies.

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.

### Wild Explorer
You are particularly familiar with one type of natural environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions.

Choose one type of favored terrain: **arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the Underdark**. When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in.

\pagebreakNum

## Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
## Blind Fighting
Being unable to see a creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it, provided the creature isn’t hidden from you.
## 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.
## Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can make two weapon attacks as a bonus action instead of one and add your ability modifier to one of the damage rolls of the 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

## Ritual Casting
You can cast a ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

## Spellcasting Focus
You can use a druidic focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your ranger spells.

### Primeval Mysticism
Starting at 2nd level, you can focus your awareness through the interconnections of nature: When you reach certain levels in this class, you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Primeval Mysticism 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.

##### Primeval Mysticism Spells
| Ranger Level | Spell |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3rd  | *Detect Magic, Speak with Animals* |
| 5th  | *Beast Sense, Locate Animals or Plants* |
| 9th  | *Speak with Plants* |
| 13th | *Locate Creature* |
| 17th | *Commune with Nature* |

You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slot. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. If you later replace any of these spells, you must replace them with a spell from the ranger spell list of the same level.

\pagebreakNum

### Ranger Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate: the Beast Master or Hunter that are 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.

### Primal 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 and their last visited location, 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.

### 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.

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.

### Hunter's Instincts
Starting at 8th level, with every enemy you dispatch your survival skills are further honed.

On your turn, immediately after you incapacitate or reduce a creature to 0 hit points you can gain one of the following passive benefits:

* Until the start of your next turn, your movement speed is doubled and difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. 
*  Until the start of your next turn, when any creature attacks you their first attack roll is made at disadvantage and all opportunity attacks made against you have disadvantage.
* Until the start of your next turn, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your ranger level and your next dexterity saving throw is made with advantage.
* If no other creature is within 10 feet of you, you can attempt to make a dexterity (stealth) check to hide provided that you are not out in the open and do not move more than a third of your movement speed. 
* You can give another creature advantage on their next attack if they are within 60 feet of you and they do not have disadvantage on the attack. Additionally the attack is considered a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

You can only have one passive benefit active at a time and can only activate it once per turn.

### Conceal and Vanish
Starting at 10th level, you become further skilled in the art of concealment and non-detection. You can’t be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail and have advantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks while in your favored terrain.

Additionally, you can use a bonus action to magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, for 1 minute. You become visible if you attack or cast a spell that deals damage to a creature and the creature survives the damage from the attack or spell.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Druidic Arcanum
Your connection to the natural and spiritual world deepens your magical abilities. You learn one druid cantrip of your choice and are granted a druidic boon called an arcanum. Choose one 5th-level or 6th-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 or 6th 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.

# 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  | Well Trained |
| 11th | Beastial Fury |
| 15th | Wild Soul |

## 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  | *Animal Friendship* |
| 5th  | *Find Steed* |
| 9th  | *Conjure Animals* |
| 13th | *Mordenkainen’s Faithful Hound* |
| 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. Choose a beast that is no larger than Medium and that has a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower, at level 7 the beast can be of CR level 1 or lower, at level 11 the beast can be of CR level 2 or lower, and at level 15 your creature can be of beast that is no larger than Large and has a CR of 3 or lower.

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. Like any creature, it can spend Hit Dice during a short rest to regain hit points.

The beast obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative. On your turn, you can verbally command the beast where to move (no action required by you). You can use your bonus action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action. If you don't issue a command, the beast takes the Dodge action. 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. The beast never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.
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. At 11th level, the range extends to 60 feet. Additionally, any spell to revive your beast requires no material components.

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.

## Well Trained
Starting at 7th level, when an enemy attempts to attack you or an ally you can see, you can use your reaction to command your beast to move up to half it's movement speed and attack the enemy.

If the beast’s attack is successful the enemy misses that attack roll. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier and regain all expended uses on a long rest.

In addition, the beast's attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

## Beastial Fury
Starting at 11th 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.

<div class='pageNumber'>6</div>
<div class='footnote'>Page 6 | Tweaked Ranger</div>

## Wild Soul
Beginning at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 60 feet of you.

Additionally your beast has advantage against being charmed or frightened  and any spell you cast that would fail if cast on a creature with an intelligence higher than 4, succeeds on your beast companion regardless of it's intelligence score.

* **Water**- All attack rolls made against you are made at disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage.

On your turn, while attuned to an element you can use your bonus action to swap to a different element and lose your current damage type. When you do so you immediately gain the new elemental damage type and it's passive bonus until the start of your next turn, but only if it's the first action you take on your turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Elemental Empowerment
At 7th level, your body is guarded by the elemental forces when you attune to them. When you attune to an element you are resistant to the chosen elemental damage type for the duration of the attunement; while attuned, if you swap to a different element you become resistant to that element instead.

Additionally, when you finish a long rest you can choose one of the following spells: *Armor of Agathys, Call Lightning, Earth Tremor, Erupting Earth, Fireball, Fog Cloud, Ice Knife, Shatter, Snilloc’s Snowball Swarm, Thunderwave, Tidal Wave, Wall of Water, Water Breathing, Water Walk.*

\pagebreakNum

Until the next long rest, you can cast your chosen spell at third level without expending a spell slot. Once you have done so you can't cast it again until you finish a long rest or expend a spell slot as normal.

## Primordial Attunement
Your attunement to the elements grows even stronger, at 11th level when you attune to an element you gain an additional passive benefit until the start of your next turn.

* **Air**- You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can push an enemy 10 feet back after a weapon attack.
* **Earth**- You gain a burrowing speed equal to your walking speed and are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
* **Fire**- Any creatures of your choice that start or end their turn within ten feet of you takes 2d4 fire damage.
* **Lightning**- You can teleport up to 15 feet in an unoccupied space, once on your turn before or after you make a weapon attack.
* **Water**- You gain a swimming speed equal to twice your walking speed, can breathe underwater and have advantage on melee weapon attacks while partially or completely submerged in water.

## Partial Elemental
At 15th level, your body has been warped by the harsh and chaotic primordial magic you use.

When you are attuned to an element you are immune to that elemental damage type and while conscious you are always under the effects of the *Absorb elements* spell at first level.

| 13th | *Guardian of Faith* |

## Spirit Guide
At 3rd level, when you choose this conclave, you adopt a *Spirit Guide*. *Spirit Guides* often take the form of animal or forest spirits, distant ancestors, fallen warriors, or any other form they may deem apropriate.

As a bonus action you can summon your *Spirit* for 1 minute. It is spectral and invisible, unless you decide to make it appear visible (no action required by you). While your *Spirit* is summoned, once per turn you can either do an additional 1d6 force damage on one attack or have the first damage you receive be reduced by 1d6 until the start of your next turn. At 11th level the extra force damage or damage reduction when your *Spirit Guide* is summoned becomes 2d6.

You can summon your *Spirit Guide* a number of times equal to your wisdom modifer and all expended uses are regained on a long rest.

## Spirit Role
When you first learn of your connection you can designate a role for your *Spirit*.

At 3rd level while your *Spirit* is summoned you gain one of the following benefits:

* **Mystic Spirit.** You gain proficiency in the Arcana or Religion skill. Additionally you learn 1 *druid* cantrip that deals damage, when your *Spirit* is summoned the casting time for that cantrip can be either an action or bonus action.
* **Protective Spirit.** You gain temporary hitpoints equal to your ranger level whenever you finish a short or long rest. Additionally when your *Spirit* is summoned you can use your bonus action to impose disadvantage on the next attack roll against you, until the start of your next turn.
* **Warrior Spirit.** You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics or Athletics skill. Additionally while your spirit is summoned, when you use the attack action you can make one other weapon attack as a bonus action.

## Mystic Warrior
At 7th level, the magical essence of your *Spirit* flows through your own mortal body.

You have resistance to damage from spells and your weapon attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

## Spirit Designation
At 11th level your *Spirit* fully embraces the role you desgnate it. Your spirit improves depending on the role you have chosen for it.

* **Mystic Spirit.** Whenever you cast a spell that deals damage or heals hitpoints you can use your bonus action to have that spell deal the maximum amount instead of rolling.
* **Protective Spirit.** When you summon your *Spirit* your AC increases by 1d4 until the minute ends and the spirit disappears.
* **Warrior Spirit.** When your spirit is summoned, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 and when you use your bonus action to make a weapon attack, you have advantage on that attack.

## Transfer Spirit
At 15th level, your spirit can protect your allies as well. When a creature you can see within 30 feet is attacked, you can use your reaction to either inflict 1d6 force damage to the attacker or reduce the damage by 1d6.

Regardless of what option you choose, the creature gains the benefits of your *Spirit Guide* until the end of their next turn.
