Another character is a druid and wants to multiclass into ranger and felt the same problem, so I made a Ranger Waterborne Archtype.BarbarianLevel 3 Totem SpiritShark: You gain a Swimming speed of 40ft. In addition, while Raging as a reaction you can allow any friendly creature to deal an additional weapon die of damage on a creature within 5ft of you. You must activate this feature after the attack has been confirmed as a hit, but before damage has been rolled. The spirit of the shark makes you a deadly blood-hunting predator.Salmon: You gain a Swimming speed of 30ft. In addition, while Raging you have advantage on the Overrun action, you are able to climb at twice your movement speed, and can jump an additional 10ft. The spirit of the salmon makes you unshakable against the raging waters.Piranha: You gain a Swimming speed of 35ft. In addition, while Raging any friendly creature you move past can use their reaction to move up to 10ft, this movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. The spirit of the piranha makes you a leader of a ferocious swarm.Level 6 Aspect of the BeastShark: You gain the blood sense of shark. You instantly know the direction, distance, and type of any creature within 60ft that is below their maximum Hit Points.Salmon: You gain the direction and drive of a salmon. You cannot get lost while travelling except by magical means. You always know what direction is north, and as long as you can see the sky you know how far you are from your destination.Piranha: You gain the swarm instincts of the Piranha. You instantly know when another friendly creature within 30 feet notices something. For example, you cannot be surprised if at least one other person in your party is not surprised, or you instantly notice a trap or a stealthed creature that a member of your party notices.Level 14: Totemic AttunementShark: While Raging you can use a bonus action to make a weapon attack with advantage on a target you are grappling, if you are using a two handed weapon you do not have advantage. If you hit, the target has disadvantage on it’s escape attempt until the start of your next turn. Salmon: While Raging you cannot be knocked prone or forced to move against your will.Piranha: While Raging you can add half your proficiency modifier to any roll you make that you do not already have proficiency in that another creature within 30ft is making at the same time.RangerThe Ocean Explorer archetype is the sailor that welcomes the touch of the depths of the ocean. A frontier survivalist that charts new paths through the dangerous seas of the world, expertly navigating through reefs, and bravely sailing through maelstroms or black waters. The Ocean Explorer has seen everything the water has to offer, and still craves more.Natural Explorer: SeaWhen you choose the Sea terrain of the Natural Explorer class feature you gain the following features, which completely replace the normal Natural Explorer features.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You gain proficiency in Navigator’s Tools and Vehicles (water) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your group can’t become lost except by magical means </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You gain a swim speed of 30ft, or if you already have a swim speed, it increases by 10 feet </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You add proficiency on any roll to repair a ship, navigate a ship, man your station, or do rigging work </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you fish or scavenge edible plants from the sea, you find twice as much food as you normally would </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you. </li> </ul>3: Oceanic Sidekick: At 3rd level you gain a representation of your bond to the sea in the form of a spirit companion that will travel with you on your adventures and fight beside you. Choose a non-humanoid aquatic creature with a CR value no higher than 1/2. Your Oceanic Sidekick manifests as a tiny creature in a bubble a foot in radius that floats behind you wherever you go. You can order the creature to move to an area within 100ft as an action, ordering the creature to stay in one spot costs no action. The bubble cannot be destroyed by any means. As long as you are on the same plane of existence you can use an action to teleport your Oceanic Sidekick to an adjacent square.Once per day you can order your Oceanic Sidekick to exit the bubble and fight with you for 1 minute, or until you lose concentration. When fighting out of its bubble the creature has its swim speed as flight speed, but can go no higher than 10ft above the ground.
