[QUOTE="drowdude, post: 59436, member: 890"] Updated version, with revised spell-list. ______________________________________________ Ranger Variant Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d8.

In addition to this, rangers receive a +1 bonus to all Wilderness Lore skill checks at the following levels: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, & 20. Trailblazing (acquired at 2nd level): When traveling in poor weather conditions or difficult terrain a ranger may make a wilderness lore check to save travel time. A check of 15 or better reduces the total travel time by 25%, while a check of 25 or better reduces it by 50%. Travel time is reduced for everyone in the ranger’s immediate vicinity. ______________________________________ Chosen Path: Each ranger selects a “path” from those described below. Unless otherwise noted, these feats only apply when the ranger is wearing light or no armor. These feats may be used to fulfill the requirements for other feats, but feats gained in this manner are subject to the armor limitations. ·Archer: A ranger must have at least a 13 Dexterity in order to choose this path. This path gains the Point-Blank Shot at 1st level, and an additional archery feat at 2nd level chosen from the following list: Far Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Shot on the Run, or Weapon Focus (bow of choice). ·Dual-Wielder: A ranger must have at least a 15 Dexterity in order to choose this path. It grants the ranger full use of the 2-Weapon Fighting & Ambidexterity feats. ·Master Huntsman: This path grants the ranger benefit of the Skill Focus (Wilderness Lore) feat regardless of the type of armor they are wearing. They also gain a +2 bonus to the following skill checks while in Light or no armor: Hide, Listen, Move Silently, & Spot.

In addition, the ranger may choose one of the following options… 1.) Suffer no penalties to their ride skill checks while riding bareback. 2.) Retain use of these feats regardless of they type of armor they are wearing. ·Survivor: This path changes the ranger’s hit die to 1d10, while the Reflex save becomes “bad”. The ranger may also choose 2 feats from the following list: Endurance, Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, or Toughness. The ranger retains use of these feats regardless of the type of armor they are wearing. Note: Toughness may be chosen twice. This nicely models the 1E ranger and their 2d8 HD at 1st level :) ·Wilderness Runner: This path grants the ranger a +10 bonus to their base speed, as well as the benefits of the Run feat. At 2nd level the wilderness runner also gains use of the Endurance feat. ______________________________________ Call of the Wild(Su): At 9th level rangers use their character level when determining the # of HD worth of animals they can befriend via the Animal Friendship spell. In addition their gain they ability to use Animal Friendship to befriend Beasts and Magical Beasts. Rangers who desire to do so have the option to trade this ability for a single bonus feat of their choice. ______________________________________ Skill Mastery (as the rogue ability): At 13th level rangers gain mastery of 3+Int modifier class skills. ______________________________________ Favored Enemy: At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature as a favored enemy.

The favored enemy bonus also can affect combat in several important ways. At the beginning of his action each round he may designate (as a free action) how his favored enemy bonus is being applied. It may be applied to attack rolls, damage rolls*, or as a Dodge bonus to AC. *The damage bonus applies with ranged weapons, but only against targets within 30 feet (the ranger cannot strike with deadly accuracy beyond that range). Likewise, the damage bonus doesn't apply to damage against creatures that are immune to critical hits At 5th level and at every five levels (10th, 15th, and 20th levels) the bonus increases by +1 and the ranger gains a new favored enemy at +1. For example a 10th level ranger’s favored enemy bonuses might look like this: Animals/Beasts +3, Giants +2, & Dragons +1. Whenever they gain a new favored enemy the ranger also has the option of refocusing his favored enemy bonuses by swapping their order. This represents letting seldom used skills lapse while you focus on new foes. These changes, once made, are permanent until the ranger gains a new favored enemy. The 10th level ranger in the above example could have changed his bonuses to: Animals & Beasts +1, Giants +2, & Dragons +3. Table 2: Ranger Favored Enemies Aberrations Animals + Beasts (inc.

Urban Ranger: If you want to play an “Urban Ranger” play a fighter-rogue for Gawd’s sake. Sheeesh. _______________________________________ Notes on the spell-list: Several effects were removed from the ranger's "official" spell list. Such as Treeshape and Land Womb. Weapon of the Deity should also be removed from the spell list if the ranger does not draw his power from a deity. Also several spells that are more or less redundant were kept in the list. This was done for the sake of completeness and to aid those who may not have access to all of the suppliments I quoted from. edit: Previously, that last sentence made NO sense whatsoever :p [/QUOTE]
