[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 8116636, member: 22103"] Here's an abbreviated list of my ranger changes: [B][U]Deft Explorer[/U][/B] You are an unsurpassed explorer and survivor. Choose one of the following benefits, and then choose another one at 6th, 10th, and 15th level. [B]Canny[/B] Choose one skill: Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Stealth, or Survival. You gain proficiency in the chosen skill if you don’t already have it, and you can add double your proficiency bonus to ability checks using that skill. In addition, thanks to your extensive wandering, you are able to speak, read, and write two languages of your choice. [B]Expertise[/B] Choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with cartographer’s tools or the herbalism kit. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. [B]Natural Explorer[/B] You are a master of navigating the natural world and are adept at traveling and surviving in the wilderness. While traveling for an hour or more, you gain the following benefits: • Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel. • When traveling, your group has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to avoid becoming lost though nonmagical means. • Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger. • If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. • When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would. • While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with weapon attacks against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice, typically one spoken by your favored enemy or creatures associated with it.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may replace one of your favored enemies (or two humanoids) with another from those available to you. [B]Favored Foe[/B] You can call on your bond with nature to mark a creature as your favored foe for a time. You know the hunter’s mark spell, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.
