[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8049347, member: 6906155"] It occurred to me that the 5e ranger reminded me of the 1st edition AD&D bard. So this subclass is my attempt to emulate the feel of that. It leans into some of the less popular aspects of the 5e ranger. [U][B][SIZE=5]Storykeeper (Ranger subclass)[/SIZE][/B][/U] [I]As keepers or oral traditions druids acquire a vast store of stories and knowledge. Druids are aware that they have many enemies, so, to avoid the chance that their learning be lost, they sometimes they teach a portion of their knowledge to outsiders who they judge sufficiently worthy.
