Natural Explorer

You are particularly adept when traveling in natural terrains and able to adapt to these terrains quickly. Choose one type of focused 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 using a skill that you’re proficient in. When you complete a long rest in a terrain that is not your focused terrain, you may switch your focused terrain at that time.

• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

At level 6 your movement cannot be slowed by non-magical difficult terrain in your focused terrain, at level 10 you cannot be surprised in your focused terrain

Stalker's Quarry

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience in studying, and then hunting a chosen quarry.

Choose a type of quarry: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead.

Alternatively, you can select one race of humanoid (such as gnolls or orcs) as a quarry. If you spend at least 1 minute observing a creature type outside combat or 1 minute studying the tracks of that creature type, or you defeat a creature type in combat, you may switch your quarry selection to that new creature type. Once you change your quarry you may not do so again until you have taken a long rest or use the Eye of the Hunter Ranger feature.

You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your quarry, Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect them, Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide from them and Charisma (Deception) or Charisma (Intimidate) when interacting with your quarry.

At 6th level, whenever you do damage to a quarry, you ignore any resistance to that damage type. At 13th level, any attacks against your quarry score a critical on a 19 or 20.

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. You may choose an addiitonal fighting style from this list at 11th and 17th levels.

Preparing and Casting Spells

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. The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

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 quiet contemplation and preparation: 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's Companion

At 3rd level, you gain a faithful animal companion that is trained to fight alongside you. Choose a stat block from amongst those on the next page that best fits your companion. If you ever gain a new companion you may change the stat block to a new one. Your comanion adds your proficiency bonus (PB) to many of their statistics as shown in their stat block.

When your beast completes a short rest, it regains all of its hitpoints. If reduced to zero hit points in combat, the beast rolls death saving throws as a player character normally would. You can obtain a new companion by magically bonding with a beast that isn’t hostile to you and that meets the size and challenge rating requirements over the course of a long rest. You may only have one companion at a time and must dismiss an old one if you gain a new one in this manner.

Combat Training

While in combat, your faithful friend shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, or Hide action.

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.

Share Spells

Beginning at 7th 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.

Bestial Fury

Starting at 11th level, when you command your animal companion to take the Attack action, the beast can make an additional attack.

Exceptional Training

Beginning at 15th level, commanding the creature to take the Help or Hide Action no longer requires a bonus action by you.

Whenever your companion is subjected to an effect, such as a green dragon’s poison breath or a lightning bolt spell, that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, your companion instead takes no damage if they succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if they fail.

If the save fails, the target is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns.
