## The Ranger ___ Rough and wild looking, a human stalks alone through the shadows of trees, hunting the orcs he knows are planning a raid on a nearby farm. Clutching a shortsword in each hand, he becomes a whirlwind of steel, cutting down one enemy after another. ___ After tumbling away from a cone of freezing air, an elf finds her feet and draws back her bow to loose an arrow at the white dragon. Shrugging off the wave of fear that emanates from the dragon like the cold of its breath, she sends one arrow after another to find the gaps between the dragon’s thick scales. ___ Holding his hand high, a half-elf whistles to the hawk that circles high above him, calling the bird back to his side. Whispering instructions in Elvish, he points to the owlbear he’s been tracking and sends the hawk to distract the creature while he readies his bow. ___ 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 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, moving stealthily through the wilds and hiding themselves in brush and rubble. Rangers focus their combat training on techniques that are particularly useful against their specific favored foes. 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, stealth, and the hunt. A ranger’s talents and abilities are honed with deadly focus on the grim task of protecting the borderlands. ### Independent Adventurers 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 dragon or 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. \columnbreak ### Creating a Ranger As you create your ranger character, consider the nature of the training that gave you your particular capabilities. Did you train with a single mentor, wandering the wilds together until you mastered the ranger’s ways? Did you leave your apprenticeship, or was your mentor slain perhaps by the same kind of monster that became your favored enemy? Or perhaps you learned your skills as part of a band of rangers affiliated with a druidic circle, trained in mystic paths as well as wilderness lore. You might be self taught, a recluse who learned combat skills, tracking, and even a mystical connection to nature through the necessity of surviving in the wilds. ___ What’s the source of your particular hatred of a certain kind of enemy? Did a monster kill someone you loved or destroy your home village? Or did you see too much of the destruction these monsters cause and commit yourself to reining in their depredations? Is your adventuring career a continuation of your work in protecting the borderlands, or a significant change? What made you join up with a band of adventurers? Do you find it challenging to teach new allies the ways of the wild, or do you welcome the relief from solitude that they offer?
*I spend a lot of my life away form civilization, keeping to its fringes to protect it. Don't assume that because I don't bend to your king that I haven't done more to protect him than all his knights put together.* *-Soveliss* \pagebreak

___ Rangers are free-minded wanderers and seekers who patrol the edges of civilized territory, turning back the denizens of the wild lands beyond. It is a thankless job, since their efforts are rarely understood and almost never rewarded. Yet rangers persist in their duties, never doubting that their work makes the world a safer place. ___ A relationship with civilization informs every ranger's personality and history. Some rangers see themselves as enforcers of the law and bringers of justice on the civilizations frontier, answering to no sovereign power. Others area survivalists who eschew civilization altogether. They vanquish monsters to keep themselves safe while they live in and travel through the perilous wild areas of the world. If their efforts also benefit the kingdom and other civilized realms that they avoid, so be it. ___ If you're creating or playing a ranger character, the following sections offer ideas for embellishing the character and enhancing your role playing experience. ### View of the world A ranger's view of the world begins (and sometimes ends) with that character's outlook toward civilized folk and places they occupy. Some rangers have an attitude toward civilization that's deeply rooted in disdain, while others pity the people they have sworn to protect─though on the battlefield, it's impossible to tell the difference between one ranger and another. ___ Indeed, to those who have seen them operate and been the beneficiaries of their prowess, it scarcely matters why the rangers do what they do. That said, no two rangers are likely to express their opinions on any matter in the same way. ___ If you haven't yet thought about the details of your character worldview, consider putting a finer point on things by summarizing that viewpoint in a short statement (such as the entries on the following table). How might that feeling affect the way you conduct yourself? | d6 | View | |:---:|:---:| | 1 | Towns and cities are the best place for those who can't survive on their own. | | 2 | The advancement of civilization is the best way to thwart chaos, but its reach must be monitored. | | 3 | Towns and cities are a necessary evil, but once the wilderness is purged of supernatural threats, we will need them no more. | | 4 | Walls are for cowards, who huddle behind them while making others do the dirty work. | | 5 | Visiting a town is not unpleasant, but after a few days I feel the irresistible call to return to the wilds. | | 6 | Cities breed weakness by isolating folk from the harsh lessons of the wild. | \columnbreak ### Homelands All rangers, regardless of how they came to take up the profession, have a strong connection to the natural world and its various terrains. For some rangers, the wilderness is where they grew up, either as a result of being born there or moving there at a young age. For other rangers, civilization was originally home, but the wilderness became a second homeland. ___ Think of your character's backstory and decide what terrain feels most like home, whether or not you were born there. What does that terrain say about your personality? Does it influence which spells you choose to learn? Have your experiences there shaped who your favored enemies are? | d6 | Homeland | |:---:|:---:| | 1 | You patrolled an ancient forest, darkened and corrupted by several crossings to the Shadowfell. | | 2 | As part of a group of nomads, you acquired the skills for surviving in the desert. | | 3 | Your early life in the Underdark prepared you for the challenges of combating its denizens. | | 4 | You dwelled on the edges of a swamp, in an area imperiled by land creatures as well as aquatic ones. | | 5 | Because you grew up among the peaks, finding the best path through the mountains is second nature to you. | | 6 | You wandered the far north, learning how to protect yourself and prosper in a realm overrun by ice and snow. | ### Sworn Enemy Every ranger begins with a favored enemy (or two). The determination of a favored enemy might by tied to a specific event in the character's early life, or it might be entirely a matter of choice. ___ What spurred your character to select a particular enemy? Was the choice made because of tradition or curiosity, or do you have a grudge to settle? | d6 | Enemy| |:---:|:---:| | 1 | You seek revenge on nature's behalf for the great transgressions your foe has committed. | | 2 | Your forebears or predecessors fought these creatures, and so shall you. | | 3 | You bear no emnity towards your foe. You stalk such creatures as a hunter tracks down a wild animal. | | 4 | You find your foes fascinating, and you collect books of tales and history concerning them. | | 5 | You collect tokens of your fallen enemies to remind you of each kill. | | 6 | You respect your chosen enemy, and you see your battles as a test of respective skill. | \pagebreak

## Ranger Archetypes The ideal of the ranger has a few classic expressions: the Beast Master, the Gloom Stalker, the Horizon Walker, the Hunter, the Monster Slayer, and the Primeval Guardian ### Beast Master [By Dracodruid](https://www.gmbinder.com/profile/dracodruid "title") 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. Source: Tasha's Ranger by Dracodruid ##### Beast Master Magic Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Beast Master Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you ,but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know. | Ranger Level | Spells | |:----:|:--------------| | 3rd | *Find Familiar* | | 5th | *Healing Spirit* | | 9th | *Conjure Animals* | | 13th | *Guardian of Nature* | | 17th | *Insect Plague* | #### Primal Beast Companion Beginning at 1st level, you can magically summon a primal beast, which draws strength from your bond with nature. The beast is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block — Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky — which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever kind you choose, the beast bears primal markings, indicating its mystical origin. \columnbreak ___ In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the beast has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot. The beast returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. ___ When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different primal beast. The new beast appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block and appearance. If you already have a beast from this feature, it vanishes when the new beast appears. The beast also vanishes if you die. #### Mythic Bond Beginning at 7th level, the beast's attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. In addition, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can take a bonus action to also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you. #### Bestial Fury Starting at 11th level, when you command your beast companion to take the Attack action with your bonus action, the beast can attack twice, instead of once. #### Superior Beast Defense At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it. In addition, when the beast is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

### Gloom Stalker Gloom stalkers 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 gloom stalker 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. Source: Xanathar's Guide to Everything \columnbreak ##### Gloom Stalker Magic Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Gloom Stalker Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know. | Ranger Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *Disguise Self* | | 5th | *Rope Trick* | | 9th | *Fear* | | 13th | *Greater Invisibility* | | 17th | *Seeming* | #### Dread Ambusher At 1st level, you master the art of the ambush. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier. ___ At the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn. If you take the Attack action on that turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d12 damage of the weapon's damage type. #### Umbral Sight Also at 1st level, you gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 30 feet. ___ You are also adept at evading creatures that rely on darkvision. While in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see you in that darkness. #### Iron Mind By 7th level, you have honed your ability to resist the mind-altering powers of your prey. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice). #### Stalker's Flurry At 11th level, you learn to attack with such unexpected speed that you can turn a miss into another strike. Once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make another weapon attack as part of the same action. #### Shadowy Dodge Starting at 15th level, you can dodge in unforeseen ways, with wisps of supernatural shadow around you. Whenever a creature makes an attack roll against you and doesn't have advantage on the roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it. You must use this feature before you know the outcome of the attack roll.

### Horizon Walker 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. These rangers are also friends to any forces in the multiverse – especially benevolent dragons, fey, and elementals – that work to preserve life and the order of the planes.
