Class: Ranger

Class overview

Typicaly : Wanderers, beast tamers, bounty hunters, monster slayers, or wardens of untamed lands. Some serve as guides for explorers, while others act as silent sentinels protecting the forgotten paths of the world.
Abilities : Rangers blend martial skill with natural intuition. They excel at tracking, ranged combat, and adapting to their environment. Many form bonds with animal companions or channel nature’s energy into their strikes.
Advancement : As they grow, Rangers become one with their surroundings — sensing danger before it strikes, commanding beasts with ease, and moving through the wild unseen yet always in control.
Aptitudes : High Dexterity and Constitution, but low Aura.
Weapons and Armour : Proficient with ranged weapons, light and medium armor. They favor mobility and precision over brute strength.

   • This ability only applies to non-humanoid creatures.

   Long marches, sleepless nights, and unending hunts barely exhaust you. Where others falter, you push forward — steady, focused, and unyielding.  

   If you are Fatigued (Ailment), you can ignore completely the penalty caused by 1 stack of it (this also delays the point at which you would collapse involuntarily).   When you sleep, your Fatigued (Ailment) is reduced by 1.

   • You get no penalty when it's Partially dark.
   • You get the Partially dark penalty instead when it's Totally dark.

   If you are already immune to Obscured (Area condition) and stand within such an area, your Attack rolls gain a Minor Bonus (+2) instead.

   Your Hunter’s Mark no longer requires Concentration.
