Class Abilities: DEX, WIS

A ranger might be a scout for a city guard, keeping the outer lands protected for their people. Or they might be a lone who finds peace in the seclusion of the rugged, wild lands. No matter their story, a ranger has certain skills specific to someone who spends much of their time in the wilderness.

*Level dependent, not class dependent. These skills are completely independent of Class Feature.

Level 1

Sneak Attack: Once per round on a successful hit you can deal extra damage to a target who is Flanked, has lost DEX bonus to AC, or is unaware of your presence. The weapon used must be a Light or Medium Melee Weapon, or a Ranged Weapon.

Expert Tracker: Roll 2d20 when using Awareness or Survival to hunt a target.

Track: To find tracks or to follow them for 1 mile requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow.

You move at half your normal speed (or at your normal speed with a -5 penalty on the check, or at up to twice your normal speed with a -20 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions, as given on Table: Track DC.

Track DC

Surface Survival DC
Very soft ground 5
Soft ground 10
Firm ground 15
Hard ground 20

 

Very Soft Ground
Any surface (fresh snow, thick dust, wet mud) that holds deep, clear impressions of footprints.

Soft Ground
Any surface soft enough to yield to pressure, but firmer than wet mud or fresh snow, in which a creature leaves frequent but shallow footprints.

Firm Ground
Most normal outdoor surfaces (such as lawns, fields, woods, and the like) or exceptionally soft or dirty indoor surfaces (thick rugs and very dirty or dusty floors). The creature might leave some traces (broken branches or tufts of hair), but it leaves only occasional or partial footprints.

Hard Ground
Any surface that doesn’t hold footprints at all, such as bare rock or an indoor floor. Most streambeds fall into this category, since any footprints left behind are obscured or washed away. The creature leaves only traces (scuff marks or displaced pebbles).

If you fail a Survival check, you can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.

Level 2

Artful Dodger: Once per round use a free action as a move action. Useful to get into position or hide!

Evasion: If a ranger makes a successful Reflex save against an attack that deals half damage, the ranger takes no damage.

Level 3

Favored Enemy:  Always add Sneak Attack dice to damage, every time you hit an enemy target, no limit per round. They can also make skill checks to identify these creatures.
