Ranger

Rangers are skilled stalkers, hunters, pathfinders and wardens. Though they travel light, shunning the heaviest weapons and armour, their martial prowess is respectable and Rangers can call upon several tricks and blessings when they are in the wilderness.

Rangers may serve a local lord, protecting a forest from poachers or tracking known criminals down for arrest. Others answer to a Druid or watch over an area on their own initiative. Many Rangers act as scout in the Warswords, run messages across large distances, guide travellers through the mountains, specialize in exterminating hated monsters or simply live alone as trapper on the frontier. Whatever their profession, the Ranger is widely considered a wilderness expert and is usually well regarded.

WARNING: To cast a spell, a ranger must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level. For example, to cast a 3rd-level spell, a ranger must have a Wisdom of 13.

*There is a known issue where Animal Companion does not work for Rangers at Level 4 - even though a companion may be selected when reaching 4th level - but it becomes available at Level 6.

Feats

• Favoured Enemy - The Ranger deals +2 divine damage vs the chosen race. The same modifier applies to skill checks vs that race, either as bonus or as penalty. At level 4 and 8, the bonus increases by a further +2 and the Ranger can choose an extra racial type. Any racial type can be chosen, including mindless foes like constructs, oozes and plants.
• Tracking - The Ranger can make a Survival check to discover where someone last left the area. This ability can also be used to read the tracks of monsters and animals, gaining information about their type, number and activities.
• Trackless Step - The Ranger gains a +4 bonus to Stealth in outdoor areas.
• Combat Style - The Ranger can activate this feat to select either a Dual Wield or an Archery path. Both paths grant combat feats at level 2, 6 and 11 which only work while the Ranger is wearing light or no armour. Dual Wield feats are Dual Wield (combined Ambidexterity and Two Weapon Fighting), Blade Storm (group feat for electrical bonus damage) and Improved Two Weapon Fighting. Archery feats are Rapid Shot, Arrow Storm (group feat for an attack bonus) and Volley (improved Rapid Shot).
• Scavenge - Once/day, the Ranger gains a d6 bonus to Heal and Set Trap after scavenging for supplies for as many rounds. This effect lasts for 5 rounds.
• Animal Companion - The Ranger can summon their Animal Companion once/day. The creature follows the Ranger until gravely wounded or dismissed. The type of companion can be chosen through the Craft menu, or at level-up from level 6 onwards.
• Hunter's Readiness - The Ranger gains a +WIS bonus to AC and saving throws vs a single racial type (+1 if it is also a racial enemy) for one hour after each rest. The racial type can be changed through the craft menu once per 48 hours.
• Woodland Stride - The Ranger is immune to Grease, Web and Entangle spells.

Animal Companions

All information provided, excluding the notes column, on the table are for animal companions when they are level 1. Animal companions have their own ability score increases and skills increases at certain levels. AC on the table includes their DEX modifier. All creature weapon attacks add their STR modifier; this is NOT the amount of attacks they receive per round. All animal companions have 8 HP before CON modifier.

Crafting

Prestige Routes

This assumes the character has only a single class to meet the requirements and is non-human before taking the prestige class (PrC). Human characters will have greater flexibility in regards to feat progression due to the extra feat granted at character creation by their racial bonus, Quick to Master. Some class routes to prestige may also favour multi-classing in order to more effectively meet pre-requisites or to better synergise the character's skill set to suit the PrC, however caution is advised as most PrCs have strict skill requirements (meeting the unmodified rank, not a modified rank) and the wrong combination of classes (due to cross-classing of skills) may result in further delaying and reducing the levels of a prestige class obtainable or render it entirely unobtainable for the character.
