New Ranger Class by

# The New Ranger
### Mentors
Right up front I want to express my gratitude and obligation to those who inspired me. I have remade the ranger by mostly using pieces others have made... and then Frankensteining them together.

Credit for this rebuild should first go to **Ari Ashkenazi** and their "The D&D 5E Ranger – Fixed" from the Mythcreants blog, **Dracodruid** and their "Tasha's Ranger", Redditor **JPGenn** and their "Martial Ranger", and Youtube's the **Dungeon Coach** and his "Ranger Homebrew" that he himself attributes to a patron of his named *Pagnabros*, and whomever wrote the Peregrine Falcon for 5e article on DandWiki.com Much of their work I simply lifted whole cloth to make my own... so if this sucks it's their faults NO TAKEBACKS!

### But Why Tho...
Why yet another Ranger rebuild? Isn't Tasha's fine? Or if you don't like that, can't you just ask your DM if you can play the Class Feature Variants Ranger? Sure, sure... It's true. Unfortunately what both of those rebuilds did was make the Ranger more mechanically viable, by adding more features from other classes. The better the Ranger got, the less unique it became. Even worse, (reflavored) Battlesmith Artificers and Scout Rogues could just replace the Ranger without difficulty.

### Spirit of No Common Rate
I was trying to make the Ranger feel like a **distinctive** class, which 5e has failed to do so far. I wanted the feel of a half-wild person. Someone who is both at home in civilization and in the wilderness, and bridge between both. Someone who is such a gifted gerneralist that they never work with others out of necessity, only choice.
https://editor.gmbinder.com/#subclasses-hunter-wild-hunt</br>
</br>

Dungeon Coach's video on the Ranger Homebrew was the inspiration for all of this. Like he said, each class has core features that come alive at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level and about 1/2 of them level with the character as long as they stay in the class. This is what I have tried to make the Ranger do as well.

### Basic Concepts
Hunter's Mark is now a class feature instead of a spell, beast companion is now part of the core class instead of a subclass feature, and Ranger is now the most customizable class available. Not only will they have a large list of possible options, they will be able to swap them out over the course a few days. This provides the fantasy of an always prepared One-Man-Army/Swiss-Army-Knife.

### Issues
I'm sure the very first criticism I will get on this is that does not fit with the style of 5th edition. It's not as streamlined, it has class features coming online at the same levels as extra attack and ASI's, and it uses monster language instead of player language. All 3 of those were choices.

5e has failed the Ranger over and over again; I feel it doesn't owe 5e pure fidelity to structure as a result. The complexity of this build is also meant to be it's strength; this is now the most customizable class in the game. 2 Drakewarden Rangers will feel very different from each other based on the choices they make. And the monster abilities was meant to give a thematic presence to the Ranger. The Ranger is of the wilds, part of civilization, and a bridge between them.

And also this is a first draft, from someone who hasn't done a lot of previous homebrewing. This just might not be very good. I am looking for feedback on this so I can improve it. But if you read this and think, "This is complete b#(($#!t", let me know that too. If so, I can scrap this entirely and try again from scratch.

<div style='margin-top:330px'></div>
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am throwing this up as just the main class first. If I get positive feedback and constructive criticism on this, I will upload smaller chunks of it to get particular help on it. And Then I'll throw up all the subclasses, and then each individual subclass. For now please give me general feedback, and I will get into the weeds of particulars in later posts. Thank you again.

### Hunter's Mark
###### *1st-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
Beginning at 1st level, you can focus your senses onto a
creature, mystically marking it as your quarry. Once per turn as a free action, you can mark one creature you can see within 90 feet of you. Alternatively, you can mark a creature by studying its tracks for at least 1 minute. The target is marked as long as it's on the same plane of existence as you and isn't protected from divination magic. The mark also vanishes if you finish a short or long rest, are rendered unconscious, or use this feature again to target another creature. While a creature is marked, you gain the following benefits:

- You have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check to find the target.
- Whenever you hit the target with a weapon attack, you deal additional damage as shown in the Hunter's Mark column of the Ranger table.

After you have taken this free action, you may change your target again with a bonus action.
 
### Ranger Training
###### *1st-level Ranger Feature*
</br>
Rangers are the exemplars of the self-taught & self-reliant generalists. They train themselves out in the wilds, learning from their own survival tactics and instincts. There are 2 main paths to take in this training: **Wilderness Training** and **Martial Training**. When you gain the Training features at various levels, you may choose 1 ability to gain from either Wilderness Training or Martial Training options detailed at the end of his chapter.

You may choose to replace a Wilderness or Martial training option with another of the same kind. However this takes 7 days of practice, wherein the ranger has 6-8 hours of uninterrupted practice.

### Woodland Companion
###### *2nd-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
You gain a spirit companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is able to take the form of various beasts to fight alongside you, though it is a fey instead of its normal creature types and has an alignment of your choice.

It gains the ability to understand one language of your choice that you speak. While your companion is within 1 mile of you, you can communicate with it telepathically.

As an action, you can see through your companions's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the companion has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

Conjuring a form for your companion takes 10 minutes and level of spell slot determined by the CR of the form you wish to conjure or for free during a long rest. Your ranger level determines the beasts your companion can become. as shown in the Companion Forms table.

In example at 2nd level, conjuring your companion takes no spell slot. It can take the form of any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower. If you conjure more than 1 companion at a time, you add all the CR's of each companion together, there combined CR's cannot exceed your max companion CR.

##### Companion Forms
| Level -------- | Max CR --------| # of Companions ---------------------- | Spell Slot Level to Conjure -------------- |
|:------:|:-----:|:---------:|:-----------------:|
| 2nd | 1/2 | 1 | - |
| 5th | 1 | 1| 1 |
| 7th | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| 8th | 1 1/2 | 2 | 2 |
| 11th | 1 1/2 | 3 | 2 |
| 13th | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 16th | 2 1/2 | 3 | 3 |
| 19th | 3 | 3 | 3 |

In combat, your beasts acts during your turn. They can move and use their reaction on their own, but the only action they take is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command one of them 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 one of your companions to make one attack.

If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself. Should you die, your companion continues to exist for 24 hours before returning to its home plane.

### Fierce Warrior
###### *2nd-level Ranger Feature*
</br>
You can choose to lose access to your Woodland companion feature **permanently**. If you do, your maximum Hitpoint value increases by 4. All of your previous hit dice and all further hit dice in this class you acquire become d12's.

Also when you reach 10th level in this class you gain another extra attack when you take the attack action on your turns. This extra attack does stack with extra attack gained at 5th level in this class, but does not stack with the the Extra Attack feature gained from other classes or features.

### Roving Prowess
###### *2nd-level Ranger Feature*
</br>
Rangers are renowned for their worth as wilderness guides and trailblazers.  They provide a wide array of utility to groups parties that travel with them. When you gain the **Roving** feature at various levels, you may choose 1 ability to gain from the Roving options detailed at the end of his chapter.

### Spellcasting
###### *3rd-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
You have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.

#### Spell Slots

The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell animal friendship and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast animal friendship using either slot.

#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

#### 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
</br>
</br>
*Please note. Hunter's Mark is no longer a spell that is available to Rangers as it is now a class feature.*

### Influences
###### *3rd-level Ranger Feature*
</br>
At 3rd-level, you can choose to either take additional class features at certain levels, or alternatively you can choose to become a 1/2 caster. Pay attention to the table on Pg 165 of the PHB to determine how this will affect multiclassing.

\columnbreak

### Ranger Conclave
###### *3rd-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
You choose an archetype that you strive to emulate from the list of available archetypes. Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

### Aspect of the Beast/Hunter
###### *3rd-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
Tapping into the magic of nature itself, rangers can choose to either imitate or dominate the wilds. They gain abilities that make them take on an **Aspect of the Beast** or the **Aspect of the Hunter**. Abilities gained from the mantle of the Hunter enhance humanoid ingenuity, perseverance,  and the effectiveness of your Hunter's Mark. Abilities gained from the mantle of the beast imbue your ranger with powerful animalistic senses, natural weapons, instincts, and mobilities.

When you gain the Aspect features at various levels, you may choose 1 ability to gain from either Aspect of the Beast or Aspect of the Hunter options detailed at the end of his chapter.

You may choose to replace a Beastial or Hunter Aspect option with another of the same kind. However this takes 7 days of meditation, wherein the ranger has 2-3 uninterrupted hours to prepare and perform a ritual to meditate on a new Aspect.

### 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.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

### Extra Attack
###### *5th-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

<div class='footnote'>Part 1 | Ranger Class Features</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Alpha Strike
###### *10th-level Ranger Feature* 
</br>
You may choose to perform an Alpha Strike action on your turn. This action causes all of your companions to attack the nearest creature that they see as a threat. This will depend on the perspective of the companion itself. A new ally or a party member in disguise may be the target if the companions are not properly informed ahead of time. Also if no targets are in range they will dash to close in on the nearest available target regardless of attacks of opportunity, cover, or other battlefield circumstances.

After you take this action you make use a bonus action to make 1 weapon attack.

### Apex Predator
At 20th level, you learned how to act with incredible speed.

Once per round, after another creature has taken its turn, you can take a special action. You can use this special action to move up to half your movement speed and take either the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.

<div class='footnote'>Part 1 | Ranger Class Features</div>

## Ranger Training

### Martial Training

#### Evasion
###### *Prerequisite 7th-level*

##### Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

##### Druidic Warrior

##### 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.

##### Thrown Weapon Fighting
You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage roll.

##### Two-Weapon Fighting
When you are weilding 2 weapons in separate hands and use the attack action, you can make one extra attck with the weapon in your second hand. However, you lose the ability to make an off-hand attack with your bonus action.
</br>
</br>
You may take this option again for your training; however, can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once.

*The Druidic Warrior fighting style is an exception to this rule. Rangers may take this multiple times, choosing 2 different Druid cantrips each time.*

For 1 minute per level of the spell slot you expend, you can search for a general type of creature (such as giants, fiends, monstrosities, etc...)  within 3 miles of you.

## Monster Slayer

### Van Helsing's influence
###### *3rd-level Monster Slayer Feature*
You  gain 1 bonus Aspect of the Hunter at 3rd-level in this sublass. You gain 1 more bonus Aspect at 7th-level, 11th-level, and 15th-level.

### Companion Improvement
###### *3rd-level Monster Slayer Feature*
At 3rd level, when you choose this subclass your woodland companion feature can take on more forms:

Any undead, abberation, monstrosity, ooze, fiend, dragon, or giant that have been killed after you damaged it within the last hour can be resurrected with a spell slot equaling their CR rounded up. This takes one action and must be done in touch range. Any monster resurrected this way becomes (one of) your woodland companion(s), therefore, the maximum CR of the monster must be equal to or lower than max CR allowed by your woodland companion feature. If gainig this new companion would cause you to have more CR than your maximum you lose your previous companions until your Woodland CR falls under the maximum.

### Monster Slayer's Magic
###### *3rd-level Monster Slayer Feature*
Also at 3rd-level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Monster Slayer Spells table. Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.

### Hunter's Sense
###### *3rd-level Monster Slayer Feature*
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

### Slayer's Mark
###### *3rd-level Monster Slayer Feature*
Starting at 3rd level, you can intensify your ire on the target of you Hunter's Mark. You use your bonus action on your turn to tranform your Hunter's Mark into your Slayer's Mark. The target of your Slayer's Mark takes the roll of the Hunter's Mark die and adds your Wisdom modifier to it. It takes all this damage as Necrotic damage.

Your Slayer's Mark ends early if you designate a different creature or in anyway that ends your Hunter's Mark.

### Supernatural Defense
###### *7th-level Monster Slayer Feature*
At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of your Slayer’s Mark forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that target's grapple, add 1d6 to your roll.

### Magic-User's Nemesis
###### *11th-level Monster Slayer Feature*
At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone else's magic. When you see a creature casting a spell or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to magically foil it. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, or its spell or teleport fails and is wasted.

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

\pagebreakNum

### Slayer's Counter
###### *15th-level Monster Slayer Feature*
At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Slayer’s Mark forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Horizon Walker Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

### Gathered Swarm
###### 3rd-level SwarmKeeper Feature
At 3rd level, a swarm of intangible nature spirits has bonded itself to you and can assist you in battle. Until you die, the swarm remains in your space, crawling on you or flying and skittering around you within your space.

Once on each of your turns, you can cause the swarm to assist you in one of the following ways, immediately after you hit a creature with an attack:
- The attack's target takes 1d4 piercing damage from the swarm. This damage increases to 1d6 at 9th-level, 1d8 at 17-th level, and 1d10 at 20-th level.
- The attack's target must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be moved by the swarm up to 15 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice. 
- You are moved by the swarm 5 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity

### Companion Improvement
###### 3rd-level SwarmKeeper Feature
At 3rd level, when you choose this subclass your woodland companion feature can take on more potent forms:

When you choose a companion whose names begins with "Swarm of ", they gain new abilities.
 - The "Swarm" passive ability loses the "The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points." text.
 - When you command your companion to attack with your bonus action the attack's target takes extra piercing damage from the swarm equal to the damage boost from your Gathered Swarm feature.

### Writhing Tide
###### 7th-level SwarmKeeper Feature
Beginning at 7th level, you can condense part of your swarm into a focused mass that lifts you up. As a bonus action, you gain a flying speed of 10 feet and can hover. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated.

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

### Mighty Swarm
###### 11th-level SwarmKeeper Feature
At 11th level, your Gathered Swarm grows mightier in the following ways:

- If a creature fails its saving throw against being moved by the Gathered Swarm, you can also cause the swarm to knock the creature prone.

- When you are moved by Gathered Swarm, it gives you half cover until the start of your next turn.

### Mighty Companion
###### 11th-level SwarmKeeper Feature
You can command a companion whose names begins with "Swarm of " to attempt to envelop the target. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become Frightened by the swarm until the end of their next turn.

\pagebreakNum

### Swarming Dispersal
###### 15th-level SwarmKeeper Feature
When you reach 15th level, you can discorporate into your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.

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