A note on Fighting Styles

The Alerion Ranger is also compatible with fighting styles available in other published sources.

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.

You prepare the list of Ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Ranger spells equal to your half your ranger level + your Wisdom modifier. The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level Ranger, you have three 1st-level and three 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination.

If you prepare the 1st-level spell Animal Friendship, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Ranger spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

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.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your wisdom modifier

Spellcasting Focus

As a ranger, you can use a Druidic focus as your spellcasting focus.

Guerrilla Tactics

By 2nd level, you have learned the art of wilderness combat, striking your foes before they can react. Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature you can see with a weapon attack, if you meet any of the following conditions, you deal an additional 1d6 damage, known as Skirmish damage, to that creature for each condition you meet:

• You’ve moved at least half your movement speed during your turn.
• You are Hidden or receiving the benefits of cover.
• You are attacking the target during the first round of combat.
• Your target is surprised or hasn’t taken its turn in combat yet.
• Your target is one of your Familiar Enemies.

To deal Skirmish damage to a target, the attack must use a ranged weapon or a weapon with the Finesse property. Additionally, you can’t deal skirmish damage while concentrating on a spell.

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Skirmish Damage column of the Ranger table.

Conclave Spells

Each Ranger Conclave has a list of Conclave Spells that you always have prepared once you reach the Ranger levels noted in your Conclave's description. Your Conclave Spells count as Ranger spells for you, but they do not count against the total number of spells that you can prepare each day.

Survival Instinct

Each Ranger Conclave utilizes certain tactics to accomplish its goals. Each Survival Instinct option provided by your conclave explains how to use it.

When you use your Survival Instinct feature, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Survival Instinct again.

Some Survival Instinct effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your ranger spell save DC.

Martial Versatility

Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace a fighting style you know with another fighting style available to rangers. This replacement represents a shift of focus in your martial practice.

Revised 7th level Hunter feature

At 7th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice.

• Evasion. When you are subjected to an effect, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a lightning bolt spell, that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on a saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
• Slip Away. If an enemy you can see enters a space within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
• Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.

Survival Instinct: Commune with Beasts

As an action on your turn, you can expend a use of your Survival Instinct to read a beast's basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.

Survival Instinct: Primal Bellow

As an action on your turn, you can expend a use of your Survival Instinct to order your beast to strike. Choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Your beast can move up to 15 feet towards that creature and make one weapon attack against it, adding your skirmish die to its damage roll.

Beast Master Spells

Also at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Beast Master 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.

Primal Companion

You magically summon a primal beast, which draws strength from your bond with nature. The beast is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block-Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky-which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever kind you choose, the beast bears primal markings, indicating its mystical origin.

In combat, the beast acts during your turn. 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 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 the beast has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The beast returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different primal beast. The new beast appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block and appearance. If you already have a beast from this feature, it vanishes when the new beast appears. The beast also vanishes if you die.

Predator's Strike

Starting at 3rd level, your beast can deal Skirmish damage if it meets the conditions described in your Guerrilla Tactics feature.

Resolute Bond

Starting at 7th level, the connection you have formed with your companion bolsters their resolve. You can use your reaction to give your companion advantage on a saving throw they are about to make. You must be able to see or hear your companion within 30 feet to use this feature.

Bestial Fury

Starting at 11th level, when you command your beast companion to take the Attack action, the beast can make two attacks, or it can take the Multiattack action if it has that action. Additionally, the first time that your beast deals skirmish damage each turn, it deals additional Force damage equal to one roll of your Skirmish Die.

Share Spells

Beginning at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you.

Survival Instinct: Dread Presence

As an action on your turn, you can expend a use of your Survival Instinct to create an aura of dread in a 10 foot radius around you, which lasts until the start of your next turn. Whenever a hostile creature enters this aura, it must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws until the start of its next turn.

Survival Instinct: Nightstalker

Gloom Stalker Magic

At 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Gloom Stalker 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.

Revised 3rd level Gloom Stalker feature

You have mastered the art of the ambush. At the start of the first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of that turn. Moreover, you gain a bonus to your Initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Additionally, you can attempt to frighten your enemies during your ambushes. When you deal Skirmish damage to a creature, you can expend a use of this feature to add an additional Skirmish Die to the damage roll and force it to make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, it becomes frightened of you until the start of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Umbral Sight

Revised 3rd level Gloom Stalker feature.

You gain Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision when you gain this feature, its range increases by 60 feet. You are also adept at evading creatures that rely on Darkvision. While entirely in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that relies on Darkvision to see you in that darkness.

Iron Mind

You have honed your ability to resist the mind-altering powers of your prey. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice)

Stalker's Flurry

Revised 11th level Gloom Stalker feature

At 11th level, you learn to attack with such unexpected speed that you can turn a miss into another strike. Once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make another weapon attack as part of the same action.

Moreover, if you use your Dread Ambusher feature to frighten a creature, you can force each other creature within 10 feet of the target to make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you until the start of your next turn.

Shadowy Dodge

Revised 15th level Gloom Stalker feature

Starting at 15th level, you can dodge in unforeseen ways, with wisps of supernatural shadow around you.

Monster Slayer Magic

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Monster Slayer Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Hunter's Sense

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Slayer's Prey

Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. The first time each turn that you hit a creature designated as your Ranger's Quarry with a weapon attack, it takes an additional 1d6 damage from your weapon. Moreover, when you designate your Ranger's Quarry, you can expend a use of this feature to expand your weapon's critical hit margin against that creature by 1 until your mark ends. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Supernatural Defense

At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that target's grapple, add your Quarry Die to your roll.

Magic-User's Nemesis

At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone else's magic. 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.

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

Slayer's Counter

Planar Warrior

At 3rd level, you learn to draw on the energy of the multiverse to augment your attacks.

As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The next time you hit that creature on this turn with a weapon attack, all damage dealt by the attack becomes force damage, and the creature takes an extra 1d8 force damage from the attack. When you reach 11th level in this class, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Ethereal Step

At 7th level, you learn to step through the Ethereal Plane. As a bonus action on your turn, you can cast the Etherealness spell with this feature, without expending a spell slot, but the spell ends at the end of the current turn.

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

Distant Strike

At 11th level, you gain the ability to pass between the planes in a blink of an eye. When you use the Attack action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack to an unoccupied space you can see.

If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack with it against a third creature.

Spectral Defense

The drake is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Drake Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Whenever you summon the drake, choose a damage type listed in its Draconic Essence trait. You can determine the cosmetic characteristics of the drake, such as its color, its scale texture, or any visible effect of its Draconic Essence; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

In combat, the drake shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn 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 or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the drake can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The drake remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the drake again, or until you die. Anything the drake was wearing or carrying is left behind when the drake vanishes.

Once you summon the drake, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to summon it.

When a creature enters this radius for the first time on its turn or starts its turn within it, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, the target is pulled beneath the swamp, taking 4d6 poison damage. Additionally, that creature falls prone and is restrained until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes only half that damage and falls prone, but is not restrained.

Adaptive Strike

At 3rd level, you can adapt the damage of your weapon to match your environment. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you deal an additional 1d6 damage of the element associated with your terrain type. While you are in a familiar terrain, you can apply two of these dice instead.

Torchbearer Magic

Ember Strike

Beginning at 3rd level, you can augment your weapons with flame that not only burns, but destroys other flames, absorbing their heat. As a bonus action, you can imbue up to two weapons you are holding with flame, which lasts for 1 minute or until you stop holding the weapon.

The first time each turn that you hit a target with a weapon attack using any imbued weapon, the attack deals an additional 1d6 fire damage. If the target is immune to fire damage and has a body or aura that deals fire damage when hit (such as fire elementals, balors, or azer~ the attack deals 1d8 extra cold damage instead.

Ashen Gift

Also at 3rd level, you have learned to channel protective magic into the fires you build. As a bonus action, when you ignite a fire used to provide warmth or light, such as a torch, campfire, or similar flame, you can imbue that fire with primal magic. If you do, creatures of your choice within 20 feet of the fire are considered to be under the effects of the protection from evil and good spell.

Burning Spirit

Starting at 7th level, you have learned to endure the intense heat of the flames you wield, along with the toxic smoke and ash they bring. You gain resistance to fire damage, you have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you don't suffer disadvantage on attack rolls caused by your target being heavily obscured.

Also, you can use an action or bonus action on your turn to extinguish any nonmagical flames in a 10-foot cube that you can see within 30 feet of you.

Stoke the Flames

Starting at 11th level when you deal fire damage to a target using a spell or class feature, you can also deal 1d6 fire damage to each other creature of your choice within 10 feet of the target.

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.

Armor of Thorns

1st level Abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: 10 minutes

Sharp natural thorns and brambles cover your body and armor, granting you additional defenses. Whenever a creature hits you with a weapon attack, the attacker takes 1d6 piercing damage.

At the start of each of your turns, if you are grappling a creature, you can deal 1d6 piercing damage to that creature.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level beyond 1st.

Create Poultice

1st level Conjuration

• Casting Time:: 1 bonus action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: S, M (naturally gathered herbs and a cloth bandage)
• Duration: Instantaneous

Using a combination of bushcraft and primal magic, you create a number of special healing poultices equal to your spellcasting modifier, with properties similar to some healing potions. As an action, you can apply one of your poultices to a willing humanoid creature, expending the poultice in the process. Applying a poultice restores 1d6 hit points for every two Ranger levels you have.

Your poultices lose their potency if they have not been applied within 24 hours of the casting of this spell.

Conjure Ammunition

1st level Conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: S
• Duration: 1 minute

In your hand or in an open container on your person, you create up to 5 arrows, crossbow bolts, firearm cartridges, or darts. The created items are magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance or immunity but have no other special properties.

As part of the bonus action used to cast this spell, you can use as a material component an amount of gems, gold, or silver equal in value to the ammunition you created. If you do so, the material component is consumed by the spell, and the ammunition becomes nonmagical at the end of the duration. If you do not, the ammunition vanishes at the end of the duration.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you create an additional 5 pieces of ammunition for each spell slot level beyond 1st.

Detect Creature

1st level Divination

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V,S
• Duration: Up to 10 minutes

---

Choose a creature type: 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).

For the duration, you sense the presence of any creature of the chosen type within 30 feet of you. If you sense a creature in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature of that type, and you learn a rough sense of the direction it is traveling (if any).

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
