Ranger

Ranger

Description: Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy - a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures.


Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does. The following deities will allow (un)holy powers to rangers: Aarilax, Balgar, Berryn, Dagath, Dre'Ana, Dru'El, Cha'reth, O'Ma, Pelar, Skern, Titania, Verossa, and Yeraiah.


In addition, like a druid the ranger is often accompanied by animal companions. Note: Avlis has a custom Companion Training System.

Spells

Rangers gain their spells from the god(s) they follow, much the same way a Cleric or Druid does. It does not come from nebulous force of nature, or the earth itself. It is the power of their god, channeled though them. It isn’t the ranger who picks the target of lightning when he calls it down, but rather his god that directs it.
