Ranger

Rangers are another hybrid class, mixing elements of Fighters and Druids into a skilled fighter focused on the skills needed to survive in and protect the natural world.
Rangers give a lot of variety in gameplay: they are good in close-range battle, good at exploring, and good at ranged attacks. At the highest levels, they lack the world-breaking abilities of some classes, but retain a rare level of flexibility.
The entire class is probably derivative of Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings, but Robin Hood and Daryl Dixon of The Walking Dead were also Rangers, as were both Tarzan and Sheena.
Rangers should focus on DEX, followed by WIS. If you plan to focus on two-weapon fighting, STR may be more important than DEX.

Ranger

Warriors of the wilderness, rangers specialize in hunting the monsters that threaten the edges of civilization—humanoid raiders, rampaging beasts and monstrosities, terrible giants, and deadly dragons. They learn to track their quarry as a predator does, moving stealthily through the wilds and hiding themselves in brush and rubble. Rangers focus their combat training on techniques that are particularly useful against their specific favored foes.
Thanks to their familiarity with the wilds, rangers acquire the ability to cast spells that harness nature’s power, much as a druid does. Their spells, like their combat abilities, emphasize speed, stealth, and the hunt. A ranger’s talents and abilities are honed with deadly focus on the grim task of protecting the borderlands.
