Ranger
Ranger
Rough and wild looking, a human stalks alone through the shadows of trees, hunting the orcs he knows are planning a raid on a nearby farm, Clutching a shortsword in each hand, he becomes a whirlwind of steel, cutting down one enemy after another. After tumbling away from a cone of freezing air, an elf finds her feet and draws back her bow to loose an arrow at the white dragon. Shrugging off the wave of fear that emanates from the dragon like the cold of its breath, she sends one arrow after another to find the gaps between the dragon's thick scales. Holding his hand high, a half-elf whistles to the hawk that circles high above him, calling the bird back to his side. Whispering instructions in Elvish, he points to the owlbear he's been tracking and sends the hawk to distract the creature while he readies his bow. Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms fram the terrors of the wild, amid lhe dense-packed trees of trackJess forests and across wide and empty plains, rangers keep their unending watch.| Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Hunter's Mark | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |

of you. Alternatively, you can mark a creature by studying its tracks for at least 1 minute. The target is marked as long as it's on the same plane of existence as you and isn't protected from divination magic.

You have a natural talent to roam the world. You gain proficiency in the Nature or Survival skill. If you are already proficient in Nature or Survival, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses it. When you forage and succeed on the Wisdom (Survival) check, you find twice as much food and water as you normally would. If you fail, you still find half as much food and water as you normally would. While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
Additionally, you are particularly familiar with one type of environment and are adept at the skills unique to the region. Choose one type of favored terrain listed below:
Coast. Swimming no longer costs you extra movement. You can also hold your breath twice as long as you normally can.
Desert. You are naturally adapted to hot climates as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. You also gain fire resist X rating equal to your Ranger level.
Forest. You gain proficiency in Perception and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses it.

Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a fighting style from the list of optional features. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you 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 secondary 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.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Ranger spells. To cast one of your Ranger spells of 1st level or higher, 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 Wisdom modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 1st- level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include three 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 a 2nd level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time spent in prayer and 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
Ritual Casting
You can cast a Ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

- Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
- You do not suffer the penalty to passive Wisdom (Perception) checks imposed by moving at a fast pace.
- Your group can move stealthily at a normal pace.

Extra Attack

Vanish
Beginning at 6th level, your speed and stealth in combat make you hard to pin down. You can take the Hide action as a bonus action and you can’t be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.
Additionally, if you are hidden when you roll initiative, making an attack during the first round of combat does not reveal your location if you otherwise fulfill the conditions needed to hide.
Land's Stride
Starting at 8th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.
In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the entangle spell.
Hide in Plain Sight
Starting at 10th level, you can use a bonus action to magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn. You can use an action on your turn to prolong the duration for another round, up to a maximum of 1 minute.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Feral Senses
At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can’t see. 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, you become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. You can add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one) to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make against a creature. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.
Beast Master
The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the world. United in focus, beast and ranger work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike. Emulating the Beast Master archetype means committing yourself to this ideal, working in partnership with an animal as its companion and friend.
Beast Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Beast Magic Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you prepare.

| 3rd | Beast Bond |
| 5th | Warding Bond |
| 9th | Conjure Animals |
| 13th | Dominate Beast |

Ranger's Companion
Also at 3rd level, you gain a beast companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you. A special type of beast awaits a Beast Master
in the wilds, a creature whose lineage stretches back to the beginnings of the world: a primal beast known as a Beast of the Air or a Beast of the Earth. Such a creature seeks out the type of companionship that a Beast Master offers, ready for the two of them to battle the imbalances in the natural world. The primal beast is a special creature that a Beast Master can choose for the Ranger’s Companion feature. When choosing such a creature, you decide whether it is a Beast of the Air or the Earth, and you determine its appearance.
In combat, the beast companion 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 one of the actions in its stat block or the Hide, or Search action.
If it has died within the last hour, you can use touch the body as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The beast companion returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
Your companion shares your alignment, and has a personality trait and a flaw that you can roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your ideal, and its bond is always, “The ranger who travels with me is a beloved companion for whom I would gladly give my life.”

| 1 | I'm dauntless in the face of adversity. |
| 2 | Threaten my friends, threaten me. |
| 3 | I stay alert so others can rest. |
| 4 | People see an animal and underestimate me. I use that to my advantage. |
| 5 | I have a knack for showing up in the nick of time. |

| 3 | Anytime is a good time for a belly rub. |
| 4 | I'm deathly afraid of water. |
| 5 | My idea of hello is a flurry of licks to the face. |
| 6 | I jump on creatures to tell them how much I love them. |

Fey Wanderer
As a Fey Wanderer, you guard the border between the Feywild and the Material Plane, guiding the lost out of the Feywild and preventing dangerous fey from damaging the Material Plane. Your experience with both domains makes you an exceptional negotiator between inhabitants of these worlds, as you understand both humanoid mindsets and the wiles of the fey courts.

against your spell save DC or be charmed or frightened of you (your choice) until the end of your next turn.
Blessings of the Courts

In addition, whenever you make a Charisma check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Beguiling Twist
Beginning at 11th level, you learn how to manipulate mind-altering magic, channeling it from your allies toward others. Whenever 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 succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or suffer your choice of one of the following effects:
- The creature is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.
- The creature takes 3d10 psychic damage.
Misty Presence
At 15th level, you can magically remove yourself from one creature's perception: you gain a bonus action that you can use to force a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target can't see or hear you for 24 hours. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of any turn during which you hit it with an attack roll, forced it to make a saving throw, or dealt damage to it. The effect ends early if you use this bonus action again. On a successful save, the target is immune to this feature for 7 days.
Once you've used this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 4th level or higher to use it again.
