Level 1: Weapon mastery

Your training with weapons allows you to use the Mastery property of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Longbows and Longswords. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the Mastery properties of Scimitars and Shortswords.

Level 2: Fighting style

You have honed your martial prowess. You gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice.

Druidic Warrior. Instead of taking a feat, you can choose to know 2 Druid cantrips.

Level 2: Hunter’s mark

Starting from 2nd level you always have the hunter’s mark spell prepared, and can cast it once per long rest at first level without expending a spellslot:

Hunter’s mark: Casting time: bonus action. Duration: 24 hours. You mark a creature you can see within 120 ft of you, or if you examine the creature’s tracks for 1 minute. You gain a number of d4 dice equal to the spellslot expended (so 2d4 for a 2nd level spellslot), which you can add to the damage roll of your attacks against your target, and survival and perception checks used to track the target. If you cast this spell again while it is active on another creature, the previous spell ends.

Level 2: Danger sense

Starting from 2rd level you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Level 3: Ranger subclass

You gain a Ranger subclass of your choice: Beast Master, Fey Wanderer, Gloom Stalker, or Hunter. Subclasses are detailed after this class’s description.

A subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Ranger levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are of your Ranger level and lower.

Level 4: Ability Score Improvement

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

As shown on the Ranger table, you gain this feature again at levels 8, 12, and 16.

Level 5: Extra attack

You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Level 6: Wilderness Guide

Your speed increases by 10ft and you cannot be surprised unless you're incapacitated. While traveling for an hour or more in the wilderness, you gain the following benefits:

• Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
• You do not suffer the penalty to passive Wisdom (Perception) checks imposed by moving at a fast pace.
• Your group can move stealthily at a normal pace.

In addition, you can cast commune with nature as an action without expending a spellslot a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up) per long rest. When you do so, the spell has a range of 200 ft, and you can cast it in towns and cities as well.

Level 9: Expertise

You gain expertise in 2 skills of your choice.

Level 10: Exotic favored terrain

Your travels in otherworldly environments forced you to adapt to new dangers. Choose one type of exotic terrain: Elemental Planes, Feywild, Shadowfell, Abyss, Nine Hells, or Astral Sea. You have advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks related to your chosen plane. You also gain the benefits corresponding to your exotic favored terrain:

• Elemental Planes: You learn the spell Absorb elements if you do not already know it, and it does not count against the number of ranger spells you know. You can cast it a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) without expending a spell slot. You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
• Feywild: Whenever you target a creature with Hunter's Mark, that creature must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or be under the effects of the Faerie Fire spell for Hunter's Mark's duration. On a successful save, that creature becomes immune to being placed under this effect by you for 24 hours.
• Shadowfell: When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.
• Abyss: Once per day when you cast Hunter's Mark, you can use a bonus action to target all creatures of your choice within 60ft, as if you cast Hunter's Mark separately for each target. The duration for these is 10 minutes.
• Nine Hells: When you target a creature with Hunter's Mark, that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened by you until the spell ends. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. On a successful save, the creature becomes immune to being placed under this effect by you for 24 hours.
• Astral Sea: When you target a creature with Hunter's Mark, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, whenever the target makes an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw before the spell ends, the target must roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the saving throw. On a successful save, that creature becomes immune to being placed under this effect by you for 24 hours.

You can pick another option at 14th and 20th level

Levl 14: Nature's Veil:

You invoke spirits of nature to magically hide yourself from view. As a Bonus Action you can give yourself the Invisible condition until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Feral Senses:

At 18th level your connection to the forces of nature grants you Blindsight with a range of 30 feet. If you already have Blindsight, its range is increased by 30 ft.

Level 20: Eternal hunt:

The number of d4s you gain when casting hunter’s mark is increased by 2d4, and you gain a bonus to attack rolls against your marked targets equal to your wisdom modifier, and you always know their exact location while they are within 120ft of you.
