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

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.

Ranger Favored Enemies:

*Encompasses creatures from the Navirim and Aberrations. 

Favored Terrain: In favored terrain, a ranger leaves no tracks, ignores difficult ground, and gains +2 to Initiative.

Favored Terrains 

Level 5

Advanced Skills: The Scout may select two Skills that can advance beyond rank 5 up to rank 9. Both of those Skills gain 1 additional rank.

Improved Evasion: If a ranger fails a save, they only take ½ damage.

Level 7

Extra Attack: You gain an additional attack each round.

Level 8

Crippling Strike:  If a Scout does Sneak Attack damage to a target, the target must make an Acrobatics Save DC 16, on a success the target moves at ½ speed for 1 round, on a failure the target may not take move actions for 1 round.

Woodland Stride: A ranger ignores all difficult ground magical or otherwise.

Swift Tracker: A ranger can continue to Track as a Free Action each round at maximum speed.

Adding to Your Saga

After each adventure, the players retell their most heroic moment, which is added to their Saga. It is up to the Game Master to determine Level Advancement, but a player should add a line to their Saga for each level.

The Saga is what the players are creating, the stories of their characters, within the overarching storyline the GM has crafted. What the heroes do within that storyline is what makes them legendary. A Saga could be more than just heroic battles—it could be a fumble so awkward that it is miraculous anyone survived, or that a silver tongue was more powerful than a sword in a saving the party from certain doom. Your Saga is what makes this your game.
