[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6763244, member: 63508"] You don't need magic to fight or sneak around. The ranger do both with it. However, if you are tracking a red dragon's footsteps and they suddenly end by it took flight... [I]conjure animal[/I]s to summon birds and have them fan out [I]speak with animals[/I] and ask if they've seen it [I]speak with plants[/I] to ask the trees which way it went [I]locate creature[/I] if you know it [I]locate object[/I] if you have one of it's possessions use you [U]crystal ball [/U](1st edition level 9 ranger feature) to scry it. There's no GPS, radar, or extensive network of rangers to call like we have on Earth. So Ranger's got use magic. You can only do that if you are standing there when the birds fly away. If the birds fly away.... 5 miniutes before you get there, there are no birds to watch then... However, if you are tracking a red dragon's footsteps and they suddenly end by it took flight... [I]conjure animals[/I]s to summon birds and have them fan out [I]speak with animals[/I] and ask if they've seen it [I]speak with plants[/I] to ask the trees which way it went [I]locate creature[/I] if you know it [I]locate object[/I] if you have one of it's possessions use you [U]crystal ball [/U](1st edition level 9 ranger feature) to scry it.
