Ranger

Part 1 | Introduction

Creating a Ranger

As you create your ranger character, consider the nature of the training that gave you your particular capabilities. Did you train with a single mentor, wandering the wilds together until you mastered the ranger’s ways? Did you leave your apprenticeship, or was your mentor slain? Does your blood-line have fey roots either recently or long past? Or perhaps you learned your skills as part of a band of rangers affiliated with a druidic circle, trained in mystic paths as well as wilderness lore. You might be self-taught, a recluse who learned combat skills, tracking, and even a magical connection to nature through the necessity of surviving in the wilds. You may even be a partisan, fighting a dangerous group or oppressive regime either as an individual or as part of a larger group of freedom fighters, exiled rulers, or foreign nation.

Is your adventuring career a continuation of your work in protecting the borderlands, or a significant change? What made you join up with a band of adventurers? Do you find it challenging to teach new allies the ways of the wild, or do you welcome the relief from solitude that they offer?

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.

This ability can only be used once per stat block per long rest and does not work against unique creatures or non-statblocked NPCs. This ability does not preclude less specific knowledge checks about creatures outside of combat.

Rule: Expanded Animal Handling

See Addendum: Rules

Magical vs Normal Ranger

On the continent of Iouncuria, some races especially humans lack the spark of magic required to cast spells and use mystical energies of the weave. Their genetics just do not have the attributes that allow for this type of direct manipulation without the aide of some other worldly power. However, some fraction of the human population is found to possess the right stuff to manifest and wield arcane power.

It is unknown through what mechanism an individual comes to possess such talents. However, many of these individuals also have a close relative such as an uncle or grandparent who possessed this spark. Thus, it has long been suspected that this power is familial and likely stems from a long past ancestor who was elven or a similar race that married into humanity.

Magic Items

Spells

These concoctions provide the spell-less ranger with a variety of magic-less utility or combat aids. Unless otherwise stated, these concoctions can be prepared at the end of a long rest or short rest and last for up to 10 hours.

Alarm Traps – You can spend 15 minutes preparing various signal traps around a 30ft cube area. When triggered, these traps generate a lot of noise alerting everyone within 100 ft of the trap to the presence of an intruder or careless ally. You do not expend any Ranger Points in preparing these traps. These traps can be spotted by a perception check versus your Save DC and Disarmed versus your Save DC.

Healing Poultices – These poultices are made from potent and common herbs. When applied as an action to injuries they have a healing, antiseptic, and anesthetic effect restoring hit points equal to (1d4 + Wisdom) times the expended Ranger Points.

Poisonous Oil – This oil is a concentrated toxin made from the poison glands of various small creatures or from toxic plants in the area. This oil can be applied on the tip of three arrows, bolts, or blowgun nettles or on the blade of a sword or axe (good for one hit) as a bonus action. Creatures struck by the poison tip or blade must make a Constitution Saving Throw or suffer the Poisoned Condition for 1 hour. This concoction requires 1 Ranger Point to prepare the Poison. Poison damage can be added at a cost of 1 Ranger Point per 1d6 additional poison damage.

Rapid Foraging – You can spend 1 Ranger point to hastily forage enough nuts and plants to sustain 6 creatures for one day. This food, however, is extremely bland or bitter and will only barely sustain the six creatures. This ability can only be used once per day.

Running Draught – This herbal mixture costs 1 Ranger point and improves the drinker’s breathing and metabolism, which increases the creature’s speed by 10 ft for 1 hour.

Animal Messenger (requires 5th level Ranger) – If you choose this option, you have used your kinship with a tiny flying creature to train it to carry messages. By spending 2 Ranger Points, you attach a tiny makeshift pouch containing a small strip of paper to the creature. This strip of paper can only contain a 25-word message. You can then direct the little beast to a location and individual within 25 miles. This little creature is always with you or nearby unless carrying a message and requires little to care for or carry.

Camouflage (requires 5th level Ranger) – You can prepare camouflage for a number of creatures equal to twice the Ranger Points expended. Each character that uses the camouflage gains a bonus on stealth checks equal to your Wisdom Modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus. This bonus is not applied if the creature is not on the terrain type in which the camouflage was created or while in a city or town. This camouflage is transferable and reusable for up to 10 hours before falling apart and degrading from use.

Dilating Liquid (requires 5th level Ranger) – You can puree special herbs into a liquid and place into a small dropper device. When drops of this are placed into a person’s eyes, they gain darkvision to a distance of 60 feet. This dilating effect lasts for 2 hours but gives the creature sunlight sensitivity for the duration. Creatures who already possess darkvision no longer suffer disadvantage on perception checks in darkness for the duration but will still suffer from sunlight sensitivity. Enough liquid is produced for 4 uses and requires 2 Ranger points.

Potent Remedy (requires 5th level Ranger) – You prepare a powerful natural remedy that is either applied to the skin or forced down a creature’s throat. This remedy has the power to cure a condition specified when the remedy is created. Potential conditions that can be cured are blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned. A cure can also remove a single disease. This remedy costs 2 Ranger Points to prepare.

Tonic against Poison (requires 5th level Ranger) – This natural remedy when consumed removes the poisoned condition from the creature and stops a poison from continuing to deal damage. For one hour, the Creature has advantage on Saving Throws related to Poison. This remedy costs 2 Ranger Points.

Traps (requires 5th level Ranger) – Over the course of a hour, you can up to 4 Ranger points to create 1 to 4 traps. Each trap deals in 2d6 physical damage if the person who triggers the trap fails a Dexterity saving throw. The trap can only be made from natural materials (arrows or crossbow bolts can be included). The trap trigger area or method for each trap can only occupy a 5 ft. by 5ft. space.

Fire Arrows (requires 9th level Ranger) – At the end of a long rest, you can spend 3/6/9 Ranger points to create a flammable gummy substance to coat the tips of 12/24/36 arrows or crossbow bolts. The arrows or bolts are coated during the long rest. After 18 hours, the substance will have ruined the arrow's or bolt's tip requiring the projectile to be disposed of or discarded. When you or another individual takes the attack action, a bonus action can be used to ready and light the the projectile for use in the attack. The attack deals an extra 2d4 fire damage to the target. The projectile, however, is ruined whether it hits or misses and cannot be recovered.

Phosphorus Fuel (requires 9th level Ranger) – This phosphorus-based fuel when burned generates a bright, white-flame. When burned within a Hooded or Bullseye lantern, it doubles the radius or cone of bright and dim light regions of the lantern with white light. This fuel lasts for one hour. The power of this light is such that individuals with dilated pupils experience the penalties of sunlight sensitivity. When used as a weapon, the fuel has the same properties as a flask of oil with double the damage. This fuel is fairly safe to carry for the first 10 hours but becomes fairly dangerous afterwards and must be disposed of by the Ranger or used offensively before a long rest. You make 1 hours’ worth of fuel per 3 Ranger points expended.
