[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9101143, member: 63508"] read farther down "As you create your ranger character, [B][U]consider the nature of the training that gave you your particular capabilities.[/U][/B] Did you train with a single mentor, wandering the wilds together until you mastered the ranger’s ways? Did you leave your apprenticeship, or was your mentor slain—perhaps by the same kind of monster that became your favored enemy? Or [B]perhaps[/B] you learned your skills as part of a band of rangers affiliated with a druidic circle, trained in mystic paths as well as wilderness lore. [B]You might be self-taught[/B], a recluse who learned combat skills, tracking, and even a magical connection to nature through the necessity of surviving in the wilds." Rangers have nature magic. It doesn't have to be from druids. [I]It will look like Druid magic [/I]because Druids are the Masters of Nature magic.But it doesn't have to be Druidic magic. Since 1st edition Rangers have been focused on Tracking, Ambushing, and Murder-Death-Killing their preferred enemies. As the editions rolled on the restrictions rolled off and the targets grew. The D&D Ranger was a magical warrior racist and by 3rd edition didn't can who provided the tools for the war crime. 5th edition softened in back down but what is the typical backstory of stereotypical D&D ranger. "An X killed my Y so I found someone to train me how to kill Xs" And it's only the slow release of D&D books and the heavy full caster bias of WOTC that the list of official "someones" is so low in 5e. The most important part is that first title in the class section: Deadly Hunters. [/QUOTE]
