They haven't been playtested so comments are welcome (overpowered? underpowered? philosophical opposition to rangers having direct damage spells?)Druid/Ranger SpellsThorn SprayConjurationLevel: Drd 2, Rgr 2Components: V, S, M, DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Ultra-Close: 15 ft + 5 ft/3 levelsArea: Cone to limits of rangeDuration: InstantaneousSave: Reflex ½SR: NoA cone of razor-sharp thorns sprays from the caster’s outstretched hand, dealing 1d4/level (max 5d4) points of piercing damage to all within the area. The thorns are physical rather than magical, so SR does not apply, but DR applies to the total damage of the spell. Additionally, an armor or natural armor bonus of +5 or greater grants a +2 circumstance bonus to the save. Material Component: A handful of thorns.Thorn VolleyConjurationLevel: Drd 2, Rgr 2Components: V, S, M, DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: MediumEffect: 1 projectile/2 levelsDuration: InstantaneousSave: NoSR: NoA series of exceptionally large thorns fly from the caster’s hand. One such thorn appears for every two levels the caster has. Each thorn does damage as a heavy crossbow bolt (1d10 piercing), and requires a normal ranged attack roll to hit. The thorns are physical rather than magical, so SR does not apply, but DR applies to the damage of each bolt. Material Component: A handful of long thorns.ThunderclapEvocationLevel: Drd 2, Rgr 3Components: V, S, DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Long (400 ft + 40 ft/level)Area: 20 ft. burstDuration: InstantaneousSave: Fortitude partialSR: Yes    The spell creates a massive roll of thunder, which is audible for several miles. Any creature within the area of the spell is deafened for one round.

Whenever the target would normally be harmed by a source of the specified element, the target instead is healed of one point of damage for each point of damage that would have been taken. If the target is at full health, one temporary hit point is gained for every two points of damage that would have been taken. Temporary hit points absorbed in this manner from multiple sources do not stack.Dreadful HoundConjurationLevel: Rgr 4Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: Close (25 ft + 5 ft/2 levels)Effect: One Dreadful HoundDuration: one hour/levelSave: NoneSR: NoThis spell summons a hunting hound of unnatural size and tracking ability.
