Ranger

The ranger is a master of the outskirts, a wilderness expert, and a precise combatant. They use their wisdom and knowhow to their advantage, both on and off the battlefield.

Some rangers may be monster hunters, or watchers of the wilderness, ensuring the common folk don't have to worry about the beasts that threaten the outer regions of civilization. Some are grizzled warriors, specializing in using the terrain to their advantage. Supplemented by some specialized training in lesser magics, rangers are versatile and reliable.

Ranger Archetype

As a Ranger, your archetype determines your style of fighting, your experiences, and what you are particularly skilled at. Many Rangers get situational bonuses, and powerful tools to take out dangerous targets, or deal with specific scenarios. As a result, most Rangers are strong innately, but are at their best when they have things under control, and they are in their element.
Below are a list of Ranger Archetypes, and what they gain at each Archetype Feature. You can have only one Ranger Archetype. You gain archetype features at level 1, 5, 9, 13, and 17.
Hunter
Hunters are slayer of beasts, watchers of the wilderness, and not one to overlook careful preparation. Hunters often lie in wait, finding the right moment to strike. They can pick out weaknesses and make each strike count a tally towards the ultimate demise of their prey.
Beastmaster
Beastmasters have tamed an animal companion, and fight alongside them. Their companion can either be a mountable creature or not.
Lord’s Ranger
Whether you are currently in service, or it was a part of your past, at some point you served a lord, and protected his wastes, fiefs and lands from danger. Poachers, beasts, monsters, or even the lord’s enemies fell by your hand. The people of the land rightfully view you as their protector, and a hero of the common folk. Your features are defensive, and grant you bonuses to relations with commoners and lords alike, albeit in differing ways.

If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
You have advantage on checks made to forage or search for food, water, or shelter in an area.
While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
You have advantage on skill checks (usually Nature, Survival or Memory) to determine the characteristics of a creature, such as if it’s spines are poisonous, or if it is regularly aggressive.

Fighting Style

At level 3, you develop your skills into a fighting style. You choose a fighting style from the list below;
Defensive: You gain 1 AC.
Ranged: You gain a +1 bonus to Accuracy with ranged weapon attacks.
Dueling: When you make an attack with a one handed weapon while your other hand is empty, the attack deals 2 additional damage.
Refined: You add half of your Dexterity or Strength bonus, rounded up (Whichever Weapon Attribute isn’t used) to the damage of your attacks with Versatile weapons.
Forceful: Attacks with Bludgeoning weapons gain the "Staggering" damage modifier. See: Damage

At level 14, you may choose an additional fighting style. You may not choose the same style twice.

Watcher’s Eye

At level 6, you gain a +3 bonus to your Passive Perception score, and you may use your Wisdom modifier for your Initiative rolls if you wish.

Inveterate Wisdom

At level 7, you have experience defending yourself from hostile magics.
You add 1/3rd (minimum 1, rounded down.) of your Wisdom bonus to all Magical (Arcane, Occult, Divine) saving throws.

Camouflage

At level 7, you can attempt to stay still in an attempt to hide or ambush a target.
When you attempt to hide, you can opt to not move. While you remain still, you gain a +10 bonus to Stealth skill checks. You lose this benefit if you move, or if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden.

Wayfarer

At level 10, you are not affected by non-magical difficult terrain.
Additionally, when you use the Dash action for the first time on your turn, you can move 15 feet instead of 5.

Leave no Trace

At level 10, you do not leave tracks unless you choose to, and you can deliberately cover your party’s tracks. Covering your Party’s tracks causes anyone following your Party’s tracks to make a Survival check at Disadvantage to determine if they tracked you correctly, as you can create a diversion, send them off course, or any other kind of diversion you may think of.

Attack Efficiency

At level 11, your Attack action costs 1 less action point.

Wisened

At level 15, when you make a Wisdom check, a Wisdom save, or use a Wisdom Skill you are proficient in, if you make a d20 roll of 9 or lower, you may treat it as a 10.

Natural Acuity

At 19th level, your senses have been honed beyond normal capability, and you can sense minor changes in the environment with ease.
Creatures that move, while hiding or not, within earshot of you alert you. You can choose to make a Perception check to determine the general area they are hiding in. This applies to invisible creatures as well. You cannot fully see an Invisible creature, but any time they move you are alerted to their location. You can make attacks against creatures you are alerted to in this way without Disadvantage from being unable to see them.
You must not be Blinded or Deafened to use this feature.

Wilderne Mastery

At level 21, you add your Wisdom bonus to your accuracy, and gain your Wisdom bonus as additional damage on attacks you make against targets that you can see.
