Adventurer’s Guide
Swarming Pests. Several Medium-sized
swarms of Tiny native creatures enter the
spaces of up to 5 Small, Medium, or Large
creatures you choose, or the space of a Huge
or Gargantuan creature. Each enemy creature
in the swarm’s area must make a Constitution
saving throw against your maneuver DC or
become blinded and slowed until the start of
your next turn, and loses concentration on
any spell or effect it is concentrating on. On
a successful save, an enemy creature is
instead slowed.
Exploration Knacks
When you gain access to a new exploration knack,
choose one of the following. Some knacks have
requirements, such as minimum ranger level or
another knack. You must meet those requirements
before you choose that knack.
Beast Friend
If you spend 10 minutes befriending and feeding
a Medium or smaller beast of CR 1/8 or less, you
become its guardian ranger. It follows you and is
loyal to you, but it acts independently. In combat,
it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn.
The beast won’t attack except as a reaction to
being attacked, but it can take other actions as
normal and makes death saving throws. You can
only be a guardian ranger to one beast at a time.
Build Shelter
You can spend a day (8 hours) building a basic shelter
which protects up to 8 people from the elements and
reduces the likelihood of attack from monsters and
bandits. The shelter counts as a haven. It lasts for as
long as it is needed, but falls apart permanently after
being left for a month unattended.
Once you have used this feature, you cannot do
so again for a week.

Calls of the Wild
Using verbal and nonverbal cues to communicate
with beasts, you can gain basic information from
them or make a simple request (like delivering a
short message or small object).
Ear to the Ground
By expending 1 minute remaining stationary, using
sound and vibrations alone, until you move or take
an action you are able to deduce information up to
30 feet in every direction, as if using blindsight or
tremorsense.
Expert Foraging
Once between long rests, you can take 1 minute
to collect a number of edible, non-poisonous plants
and grubs equal to your proficiency bonus. A crea-
ture can use its action to eat up to 5 plants or grubs,
each of which restores 1 hit point and constitutes
1 Supply. The grubs die and spoil 1 hour after
being collected.
Forced Marcher
You can travel an additional number of hours equal
to your proficiency bonus before needing to make a
Constitution saving throw for a forced march.
Guide
While traveling, when you would have a failure or
critical failure for a Scout journey activity, you
succeed instead, and you can Scout while engaged
in any other journey activity.
Healing Salves
Once between long rests you can spend an hour to
collect natural ingredients and concoct an ointment
that speeds healing. This salve is potent for 24 hours
and has a number of uses equal to 1 + your Wisdom
modifier. As an action, you can use the salve to
restore 1d4 hit points to a creature within reach.
