Expanded Ranger Spells

## Expanded Ranger Spells
Listed in this document are some more ranger spells to hopefully give more variety to ranger spellcasting.

#### Barbed Strike
*2nd-level transmutation*
___
- **Classes:** Ranger
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, the weapon grows vicious barbs that lacerate the target. The attack deals an extra 2d4 piercing damage and causes the target to bleed (if its physiology allows it). A bleeding creature takes 2d4 piercing damage at the start of each of its turns, and it can then make a Constitution saving throw, ending the spell on a success. The target or a creature within 5 feet of it can also use an action to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC, ending the spell on a success.

#### Deadly Mark
*5th-level divination*
___
- **Classes:** Ranger
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Sight
- **Components:** V
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 8 hours
___
You choose a creature you can see and focus all of your concentration on that creature's death. Until the spell ends, you gain the following benefits against the creature:

#### Explosive Arrow
*4th-level evocation*
___
- **Classes:** Ranger
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
The next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the spell's duration, you prime the weapon or ammunition to magically explode. Whether the attack hits or misses, the weapon or ammunition then explodes in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on the target. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The explosion ignites and damages nonmagical objects that aren't being worn or carried in the area.

The weapon or ammunition is then destroyed unless it's magical.
