Class Features

As a Ranger, you gain the following class features

Familiar Enemy

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to your enemies. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track creatures of a type or from a faction you have encountered previously, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

In addition, choose a number of Familiar Enemies equal to your Proficiency Bonus from among the following creature types: 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), or one named faction known to you (such as a Ravnican guild or one of the Houses of Eberron), as familiar enemies.

When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to a familiar enemy, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in. You gain additional benefits against your familiar enemies when you reach 6th and 14th level in this class.

When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your familiar enemies, if they speak one at all.

During a long rest, you can shift the focus of your hunting tactics and replace one of your known familiar enemies with another type of enemy you have encountered during your adventures.

Wilderness Explorer

Also at 1st level, you are an unsurpassed explorer and survivor. Choose two of your skill proficiencies from the Ranger class. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using the chosen skills.

In addition, choose a number of Familiar Terrains equal to your Proficiency Bonus: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the Underdark. When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to a familiar terrain or the creatures that dwell there, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in. You also gain a passive benefit associated with your chosen terrains, which is detailed at the end of the class description.

During a long rest, you can attune with your surroundings and replace one of your known Familiar Terrains with another type of terrain you have traversed.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options, or an option from another published source. 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.

Terrain Spells

You gain certain spells related to your chosen Familiar Terrains, listed at the end of this class description. You always have these spells prepared, they count as Ranger spells for you, and they don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you change a familiar terrain during a long rest, you replace the terrain spells from your previous terrain with those associated with the new terrain.

Preparing and Casting Spells

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 Ranger 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.

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.

Greater Familiar Enemy

Starting at 6th level, you have advantage on saving throws made against the spells and innate abilities of your Familiar Enemies.

In addition, when a familiar enemy hits you with an attack, you can expend a use of this feature as a reaction to add your Wisdom modifier to your Armor Class, potentially turning the hit into a miss. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Vanish from Sight

You draw on the powers of nature to hide yourself from view briefly. As a bonus action, you can magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn.

If you expend a Ranger spell slot of 1st level or higher as part of the bonus action, you can extend the benefits of this feature to include a number of creatures equal to the level of the expended spell slot.

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.

Seasoned Survivor

By 10th level, you have learned to persist through pain, exhaustion, and even near-death. As an action, you can give yourself a number of temporary hit points equal to your Ranger level + your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point). Alternatively, you can expend one use of this feature to reduce your exhaustion level (if any) by 1, or to remove one poison or disease afflicting you.

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

Additionally, you gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws.

Improved Ranger's Quarry

Starting at 11th level, you can apply your Ranger's Quarry damage to every attack you make against your quarry, instead of only once per turn.

Predator's Senses

Starting at 14th level, as long as you aren't blinded or deafened, you have blindsight with a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

Superior Familiar Enemy

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 against one of your favored enemies. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

In addition, when you mark a familiar enemy with a spell or class feature, such as the hunter's mark spell or your Ranger's Quarry feature, you always know the location of your marked enemy as long as it's on the same plane as you.

Ambush Predator

At 18th level, you have learned to strike swiftly and decisively before your enemies can react to your presence. When you roll initiative, you gain a special action that takes place before other creatures can act. You can use this special action to move up to half your movement speed and take either the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.

If you are surprised at the start of an encounter, you are not surprised but you do not gain this extra action in the first round of combat.

One With the Wild

By 20th level, you have become a master of the wilderness and an unparalleled hunter of your foes. You gain the following benefits:

• You add your Wisdom modifier to all attack and damage rolls made against your Familiar Enemies.
• When you designate your Ranger's Quarry, you automatically know if the creature has any damage resistances, immunities, and vulnerabilities, as well as what they are.
• You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you no longer suffer the adverse effects of extreme heat, cold, or altitude, as described in Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
• When you roll Initiative, if you have no uses of your Ranger's Quarry, Natural Awareness, Fade From Sight, or Seasoned Survivor features remaining, you immediately regain one additional use of those features.

Hunter

Superior Hunter's Defense

Revised 15th level Hunter feature

At 15th level, choose an additional option from the Defensive Tactics feature.

Moreover, when you use one of your Defensive Tactics features, you can choose to regain a number of hit points equal to two rolls of your Quarry Die.

When you see a creature casting a spell or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to magically foil it. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, or its spell or teleport fails and is wasted.

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

Slayer's Counter

At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

Horizon Walker

Fey Wanderer

Feywild Gifts

Otherworldly Glamour

Additionally at 3rd level, your fey qualities give you a supernatural charm. As a result, whenever you make a Charisma check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

In addition, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Performance, or Persuasion.

Beguiling Twist

Beginning at 7th level, the magic of the Feywild guards your mind. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

In addition, whenever you or a creature you can see within 120 feet of you succeeds on a saving throw against being charmed or frightened, you can use your reaction to force a different creature you can see within 120 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If the save fails, the target is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

Fey Reinforcements

At 11th level, the royal courts of the Feywild have blessed you with the assistance of fey beings: you know the spell Summon Fey. It doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know, and you can cast it without a material component. You can also cast it once without using a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn't require concentration. If you do so, the spell's duration becomes 1 minute for that casting.

Misty Wanderer

When you reach 15th level, you can slip in and out of the Feywild to move in a blink of an eye: you can cast Misty Step without expending a spell slot. You can do so a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

In addition, whenever you cast Misty Step, you can bring along one willing creature you can see within 5 feet of you. That creature teleports to an unoccupied space of your choice within 5 feet of your destination space.

Swarmkeeper

Mighty Swarm

At 11th level, your Gathered Swarm grows mightier in the following ways:

• The damage of Gathered Swarm increases to 1d8.
• If a creature fails its saving throw against being moved by the Gathered Swarm, you can also cause the swarm to knock the creature prone.
• When you are moved by Gathered Swarm, it gives you half cover until the start of your next turn.

Swarming Dispersal

When you reach 15th level, you can discorporate into your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.

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.

Drakewarden

Bond of Fang and Scale

At 7th level the bond you share with your drake intensifies, protecting you and stoking the drake’s fury. When you summon your drake, it grows wings on its back and gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed.

In addition, while your drake is summoned, you and the drake gain the following benefits:

• Drake Mount. The drake grows to Medium size. Reflecting your special bond, you can use the drake as a mount if your size is Medium or smaller. While you are riding your drake, it can’t use the flying speed of this feature.
• Magic Fang. The drake’s Bite attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence.
• Resistance. You gain resistance to the damage type chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence.

Drake’s Breath

At 11th level, as an action, you can exhale a 30-foot cone of damaging breath or cause your drake to exhale it. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage (your choice doesn’t have to match your drake’s Draconic Essence). Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

This damage increases to 10d6 when you reach 15th level in this class.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to use it again.

Perfected Bond

At 15th level, your bond to your drake reaches the pinnacle of its power. While your drake is summoned, you and the drake gain the following benefits:

• Empowered Bite. The drake’s Bite attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for its Draconic Essence (for a total of 2d6 extra damage).

• Large Drake. The drake grows to Large size. When you ride your drake, it is no longer prohibited from using the flying speed of Bond of Fang and Scale.

• Reflexive Resistance. When either you or the drake takes damage while you’re within 30 feet of each other, you can use your reaction to give yourself or the drake resistance to that instance of damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Sarkhan's Triumph by Chris Rahn

Alerion Specific Conclaves

Listed below are four homebrewed ranger conclaves designed for the Alerion campaign setting. Rangers of the Marshwalker conclave dwell among the swamps and moorlands of Eyria and Etienne, where they ambush their foes from out of the mist and fog. Ghost Conclave rangers are expert guerrilla fighters and master skirmishers, while members of the Pathfinder Conclave are natural explorers who seek out new lands and discover their secrets. Finally, Torchbearer rangers act as a light in the darkness for wandering travelers, using their mastery over fire to help guide others through unknown regions.

Ghost

The Ghost conclave embodies a Ranger who is the secret defender of the people and an unseen slayer of those who would do them harm. Dedicating themselves to the art of irregular warfare and bushfighting, Ghost Conclave rangers are the silent guardians of the common folk, working to create safe havens for people in a world filled with terrible danger, whether that danger comes from the monsters and beasts of the wilds or the clutches of a tyrant’s hand.

Ghost Magic

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Ghost Spells table. Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you can prepare each day.

Ranger Level	Spell
3	expeditious retreat
5	pass without trace
9	haste
13	freedom of movement
17	mislead

Ambush Tactics

At 3rd level, you learn how to strike dread and terror into your enemies' hearts.

Once per turn, when you are unseen by a creature and hit it with an attack, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Moreover, when you hit a creature that is frightened of you with an attack, you can roll your Quarry Die and apply it to the damage roll.

Skirmisher

Starting at 3rd level, you are difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

Lingering Dread

Beginning at 7th level, you have learned to cause a sense of terror in your enemies. You are immune to the Frightened condition. Additionally, creatures frightened by your spells or abilities have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls even if they can't see you.

Hit and Fade

Starting at 11th level, when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against that target, then move up to half your movement speed. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

Unseen Terror

By 15th level, your efficient tactics have created an air of dread and mystery around the mere mention of your name. When you roll initiative, you can take a special action. You can use this special action to move up to half your movement speed and take either the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.

If you are surprised at the start of an encounter, you are not surprised but you do not gain this extra action in the first round of combat.

'Test' by Link Chen

Marshwalker

While many people see the mist, mud, and swampy water of the Eyrian moorlands as nothing more than an obstacle to be avoided, there are some Rangers who see the beauty in it, as well as the potential tactical advantages that such environments can hold. These rangers, known as Marshwalkers, are at home in dank marshlands and lightless swamps, where difficult terrain, dangerous monsters, and low visibility make even the simplest travel a dangerous challenge.

Pathfinder

Rangers of the Pathfinder Conclave are born rovers and explorers who seek out untamed lands for the purposes of exploration and discovery. They are equally at home in the wild and on the battlefield, clearing brush for a lean-to shelter as efficiently as they erect defensive earthworks. Whether assigned to the Kingsguard as forward scouts or acting independently as paid guides for adventuring parties, Pathfinders are restless adventurers, never content to remain in one place for too long and always eager to advance the borders of the frontier.

Safe Haven

Begining at 7th level, when your use your Natural Awareness feature to detect natural chokepoints and other defensible terrain, you can use this knowledge of the local environment to create a refuge for your group. When you arrive at the location detected by this feature, you can spend up to 24 hours fortifying that position in one of the following ways:

• After searching for the appropriate raw materials, you can create a number of traps equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 trap) and place them around your safe haven.
• You can camouflage the area using local rocks, foliage, and other natural materials, granting hostile creatures disadvantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to find your safe haven.
• You can destabilize rocks and other terrain leading to your safe haven, turning the terrain in a 1-mile radius of your safe haven into difficult terrain for creatures hostile to you or your group.

In order to fortify your safe haven, you must succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check for each fortification option you apply. The DC for the ability check starts at 15, then increases by 5 for each additional option you apply to your haven. If an ally assists you in the construction of your haven, you have advantage on the ability check.

Your safe haven lasts for 24 hours, or until it is detected by hostile creatures or monsters. Once you use this feature to create a safe haven, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Improved Adaptive Strike

Starting at 11th level, the damage of your Adaptive Strike increases to 1d8, and you can apply two types of Adaptive Strike simultaneously.

Master of the Land

Starting at 15th level, you gain additional benefits while traversing a familiar terrain. You gain the following benefits:

• You can apply the improved passive effects of your terrain features even when you are not traversing that terrain.
• When an attack hits you while traversing a familiar terrain, you can use your reaction to instead cause the attack to miss. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
• When you cast a terrain spell, you regain a Ranger spell slot of one level lower than the spell you cast.
• Your Adaptive Strike damage ignores damage resistance and immunity to the corresponding element.

'Character Concept for Pathfinder: Kingmaker' by Valeriy Vegera

Torchbearer

Rangers who follow the ways of the Torchbearer seek to bring the light of civilization to the darkest places of the world. Blessed with the gift of fire by the forge-god Errenthal, the rangers of this conclave are tasked with bringing the power and majesty of his gift to the furthest corners of Alerion, bringing light to the darkness and incinerating any who would threaten the unwary or the helpless.

Warden of the Blaze

At 15th level, you learn how to use flames to defend yourself. When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to fling sparks at the attacker. It must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your ranger spell save DC or it is lit ablaze. Until a creature takes an action to douse the fire, it takes 1d10 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Additionally, creatures that are ablaze or deal fire damage when they are hit with a melee attack have disadvantage on melee attacks against you as long as you aren't incapacitated.

You choose a willing creature that you can see within range and fill it with increased speed and mobility. Until the spell ends, the target’s speed is doubled, difficult terrain no longer costs it additional movement, and it can use a bonus action on each of its turns to make a single weapon attack. If engaged in two-weapon fighting, the target can make this attack as part of the same bonus action it uses to make the attack with its other hand.

If the target of this spell is under the benefit of the haste spell, it gains no benefit from this spell.
