# Martial Ranger

### 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 making you unearth a weakness you never knew, causing you to increase your senses? Or perhaps you learned your skills as part of a band of rangers affiliated with a druidic circle. You might be self taught, a recluse who learned combat skills, tracking, and even a mystical connection to nature through the necessity of surviving in the wilds. What’s the source of your ability to ascertain the weakness of an enemy? Did a monster kill someone you loved or destroy your home village? Or did you see too much of the destruction these monsters cause and commit yourself to discovering their vulnerabilities? 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?

### Keen Eye
You are an expert at discovering an enemy's weakness. You discover flaws in their strategy, patterns in their behaviors, and weak points in their fighting techniques. The more you observe the enemy, the more you exploit these weaknesses.

#### Marking a Creature
On your turn, as a bonus action, you can attempt to chronicle a creature that you can see weaknesses. You make a Wisdom check (Wisdom + Proficiency) against the target's Armor Class. On succession, you place a *mark* on the creature, up to a total of 3 marks (one for each successful check made). If the marked target dies before the mark(s) is expended, all marks on that creature dissipate.

#### Expending Marks
On successfully hitting a marked creature you can expend your marks, all marks on that creature are expended in the process. Each mark is cumulative with the previous mark, which is reflected in the description as shown in the Keen Eye Marks table. The table that you use is based on your level in this class.

For example, when you consume the marks on a creature that has two marks. Both marks are expended and you gain the effects of 1 and 2 from the Keen Eye table.

You can utilize marks a number of times up to 1 + Wisdom modifier per short rest or long rest.

### Pathfinder
Your time spent living in the wilds, exploring, and fighting the monsters that live in the wood has gifted you with finely honed senses making it difficult to disorient or surprise you or hinder your movement.

* You always know which direction is north.
* You have advantage on saving throws against spells that would disorient you (confusion, hallucinatory terrain, maze).
* Non-magical difficult terrain does not affect you. If you are alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
* You can spend two hours foraging and provide food for a number of people equal to your level.

At 6th level, you can use the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action on your turn.

At 10th level, difficult terrain created by a magical means no longer affects your movement.

#### Thrown Weapon Fighting
You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the
weapon.
In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to
the damage roll.

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

\pagebreakNum

### Tricks of the Trade
Your time in the wilderness has taught you how to gain the upper hand in a situation. You learn to fashion special arrows, augment weaponry, create traps, and concoction medical salves with unique effects.

At 2nd level, you gain two tricks of your choice. Your trick options are detailed under *Tricks* in the class description. When you gain certain ranger levels, you gain additional tricks of your choice, as shown in the Tricks Known column of the Ranger table.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the tricks you know and replace it with another trick. You can use this feature a number of times equal <br/> to 1 + your ranger level per long rest.

### Primeval Awareness

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Ranger Conclave
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate: Expertise, Nature, The Survival, and Wildlife, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

\columnbreak

### 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.

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

### Overload
Starting at 5th level, you have uncovered a way to increase the effectiveness of your tricks but at a cost. When you use an oil or trap you can expend an additional use of tricks of the trade to increase damage of that trick by 1d8.

Additionally, when you use a concoction you can increase the number of targets it can effect by one, or increase the healing it does by 1d8.

The maximum number of uses you can expend on a trick increases by 1 at 9th (3), 13th (4), and 17th (5) level.

### Feral Instinct
Beginning at 8th level, you have advantage on initiative rolls.

If you avoid moving, creatures that attempt to detect you take a -10 penalty to their Wisdom (Perception) checks until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone. You are automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden. If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected.

### Vanish
Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can't be tracked by non magical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.

### Feral Senses
At 18th level, when you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it 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, once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

## Ranger Conclave
While all rangers gain skill in foraging, exploration, husbandry, and martial skill, each ranger could have a different expression of their talents, depending on what skill they wish to master or the prey they prefer to hunt. Each of these skills carves out a foothold to  navigate the dangers of the wild. These are represented by the conclave they choose.

of the class description. You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block.

In combat, the beast takes its turn on your initiative. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block, Dash, Disengage, Help, or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If your beast is ever slain, you can obtain another one by spending 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, to make a bond with another beast that isn’t hostile to you, either the same type of beast as before or a different one. If you use this ability to return a former animal companion to life while you have a current animal companion, your current companion leaves you and is replaced by the restored companion.

#### Bestial Bonds
Beginning at 7th level, as a bonus action, you can expend a hit dice to heal your companion for 1d8 plus your wisdom modifier, plus an additional 1d8 per additional hit dice spent.

Additionally, your companion's attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
