Independent Adventurers

Though a Ranger might make a living as a hunter, a guide, or a tracker, a Ranger's true calling is to defend the outskirts of civilization from the ravages of monsters that press in from the wild. In some places, Rangers gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic circles. Many Rangers, though, are independent almost to a fault, knowing that, when a Dragon or a band of orcs attacks, a Ranger might be the first — and possibly the last — line of defense.
This fierce independence makes Rangers well suited to adventuring, since they are accustomed to life far from the comforts of a dry bed and a hot bath. Faced with city-bred adventurers who grouse and whine about the hardships of the wild, Rangers respond with some mixture of amusement, frustration, and compassion. But they quickly learn that other adventurers who can carry their own weight in a fight against monstrous foes are worth any extra burden. Coddled city folk might not know how to feed themselves or find fresh water in the wild, but they make up for it in other ways.
