Ranger

Overview & Creation

Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms from the terrors of the wild, amid the dense-packed trees and trackless forests, across wide and empty plains, rangers keep their watch. While many others may place their focus on casting and magic, the rangers divided their focus and training between magic and the world around them. For them, learning about magic isn't merely for casting purposes or even spiritual purposes, but as a means of survival. Combinind their hunting and tracking lessons with their magic, they have turned magic into a tool of practicality to help them survive in the wilds. The Ori and Kasunans are both races that have mastered the art of the ranger as much of their civilization is built around the wilds of enchanted woods.

Class Features

Hunter's Mark

Beginning at 1st level, you can focus your senses onto a creature, mystically marking it as your quarry. As a bonus 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 its on the same plane of existence as you and isn't protected from divine 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.
• Once per turn, when you hit the target with a weapon attack, you deal additional damage as shown in the Hunter's Mark column of the ranger table.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of one), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

At 3rd level, your adeptness at traveling and surviving in the rough and untamed regions of the world allows you to lead others more easily through any environment. 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.

Ranger Conclave

At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, and 15th level. You may choose between the following conclaves: Beast Master, Gloom Stalker, Horizon Walker, Hunter, Monster Slayer, Primeval Guardian, Vigilante, Wind Runner.  

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

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.  

Vanish

Beginning at 6th level, your speed and stealth in combat make you hard to pin down. You can take the Hide action as a bonus action and you can't be tracked by non-magical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.

Feral Senses

At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can't see. When you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it.   You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn't hidden from you and you aren't blinded or deafened.  

Foe Slayer

At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. You can add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make against a creature. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

Spellcasting

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells.  

Casting Spells

The Ranger Table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   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 (minimum of one spell). The spell 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 required time spendt in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level on your list.  

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since you 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.

Such a creature seeks out the type of companionship a Beast Master offers, ready for the two of them to battle the imbalances in the natural world. The primal beast is a special creature that a Beast Master can choose for the Ranger's Companion feature. When choosing such a creature, you decide whether it is a Beast of the Air or a Beast of the Earth, and you determine its appearance.   In combat, the beast companion shares your initiative count, but it also 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 take one of the actions in its stat block or the Hide, or Search action. If it has died within the last hour, you can touch the body as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of the 1st level or higher. The beast companion returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.   Your companion shares your alignment and has a personality trait and a flaw that you can also roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your idea and its bond is always "The ranger who travels with me is a beloved companion for whom I would gladly give my life."

The soft caress of the air can be pleasant, but the furious tempest also carries the maddening sounds of the darkest places and the cries of the nightmares that dwell within. Rangers who follow your path reject the cruel grasp of the world beneath them, fighting against the wicked beasts and hellish things that lurk below. Your voice carries like the shout of a hurricane and your blades and arrows hiss as they cut the sky itself.

You take a deep breath, preparing to unleash the tempest.When a creature takes damage from an attack during your turn, you can use your reaction to let loose a buffeting yell. One creature of your choosing within 30 feet of you must make a Strength saving throw against your ranger spell save DC. If it fails, it takes 1d6 force damage and is pushed back 10 feet or knocked prone (creature's choice).   Sky Dance. You enter a defensive stance, exhaling to call the wind to your back. When a creature misses you with an attack roll, as a reaction you can move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.  

Eye of the Tempest

At 7th level, your grace is supplemented by the whims of the breeze as you turn against your earthly origins. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity attacks while flying. Once per turn when you make a Dexterity saving throw, you can immediately fly a number of feet equal to your walking speed. If this movement would take you out of the range or area of the effect that forced you to make the saving throw, you gain advantage on the saving throw.  

Voice of the Whirlwind

Starting at the 11th level, you speak plainly with the wind itself, and it answers in earnest. The options granted to you by your Whisper of the Breeze feature improve in the following ways.   Arcane Gust. The ranged attack against the new target has advantage.   Hurricane Shout. If the creature fails the saving throw, it is pushed back by 30 feet or are knocked prone (creature's choice). If the creature is knocked prone or impacts a surface due to this movement, it takes an additional 2d6 force damage.   Sky Dance. When you move due to this stance, your spirit charges with power, causing your next attack to deal an extra 2d8 lightning damage.  

Skyward Ascension

Beginning at 15th level, you are no longer bound to the earth that once hindered you. You can take the Dash action as a bonus action. When you take the Dash action, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the start of your next turn. Whenever you voluntarily move while it is not your turn, you can choose to fly an equal distance instead.
