</div>

### Favored Enemy
You have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy.

Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as favored enemies.

You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. You also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all.

### Natural Explorer
You are particularly familiar with one type of natural environment and are adept at surviving in such regions. Choose one type of favored terrain: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, Underdark, or urban.

You gain one of the following benefits based on your choice. In addition, when you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you're proficient in.

***Arctic.*** When you roll Hit Die as part of a short rest, you can reroll a number of them up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one die) and use either result of your choice.

***Coast.*** You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. The amount of time you can hold your breath increases by a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one minute).

***Desert.*** Whenever you make a saving throw to avoid exhaustion due to heat or extended travel, you are considered proficient in the saving throw. You can go twice as long without food or water before you suffer negative effects.

***Forest.*** You can move stealthily at a normal pace.

***Grassland.*** Your walking speed increases by 5 feet.

***Mountain.*** You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid falling or being knocked prone.

\pagebreak

***Swamp.*** Muddy or otherwise murky water doesn't hinder your vision. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid being poisoned.

***Underdark.*** You gain darkvision out to a range of 30 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 30 feet.

***Urban.*** When you make an opportunity attack, you can move up to 10 feet as part of the same reaction.

### Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

#### Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

#### Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

#### Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

#### Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

### Spellcasting
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 in the Players Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.

#### Spell Slots
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell *animal friendship* and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast *animal friendship* using either slot.

#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

\columnbreak

#### 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. 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.

### Primeval Awareness
Beginning at 3rd level, you can form a connection with the land to determine if certain foes are nearby. As an action, choose one creature type from: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. For 1 minute, you know if any creatures of that type are present within 1 mile of you, and the general direction to the closest creature of that type to you other than your allies that you can see.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Ability Score Improvement
