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. Unlike druids, however, rangers' abilities have no connection to a specific deity.

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

Notes

  • Rangers Hide In Plain Sight (Outdoors) is a modified HiPs which only functions in outdoor, or natural, areas. Natural Areas are any areas that are not city exteriors or indoors. While your Ranger is in those "non-outdoor" areas, stealth will function normally without the ability to HiPs.

Avlis Bonus vs. Favored Enemies

Rangers on Avlis can dip ammunition and thrown weapons in certain substances to grant them a temporary bonus against a Favored Enemy (feat). This is performed via the /rangerdip chat command. The temporary damage bonus follows the same progression as rangers get for melee weapons with the Favored Enemy feats. Rangers with the Bane of Enemies get an additional 2d6 damage bonus. These damage bonuses have a duration of 5 minutes.

To use this ability, a Ranger must designate one of his containers as a "dipping bag." The ranger places into this bag the materials into which he dips the ammunition or thrown weapon. The ranger targets the ammunition or thrown weapon with Player Tool 10 and then types the proper /rangerdip chat command. For a chart of Favored Enemies and their numbers, refer to the Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) entry on Favored Enemies.

Note: The bonus granted by this command will not stack with the bonus granted by Tyeduan Banes.
