Mythmaker's Ranger

The Ultimate Survivalists

V 1.0
Foreword
The need for a ranger revision is well known. There are many
options out there, but I've yet to find one which fully satisfied
my criteria -- most notably the resourcefulness and
versatility a ranger should have.
This revision includes an entirely unique resource pool and
list of "survival knack" features to choose from that can truly
allow a ranger to be interesting, fun, and useful in all pillars of
gameplay. With prepared spellcasting, added tool proficiencies,
and a more streamlined version of Hunter's Mark as a class
feature, Mythmaker's Ranger is ready to fulfill the fantasy
ranger deserves.
My goal was also to replace features that simply bypassed
exploration from prior versions of the ranger and instead add
interaction, since exploration is a key pillar for the class.
Prepared spellcasting also makes exploration spells viable
options without sacrificing combat spells when needed.
What's Different?
Aptitude & Survival Die. Mythmaker's ranger has a unique,
evolving resource pool of survival dice, used to fuel various
ranger abilities in both the base class and almost every subclass
added with this document.
The evolving size of the die (aptitude) is also used as built-in
scaling for many features such as Hunter's Quarry (see below).
Proficiencies. The class now begins with two tool
proficiencies chosen from a curated list. Acrobatics is also
added to their skill option list.
Hunter's Quarry. This class feature replaces the Hunter's
Mark spell.
autonomous resource, can replenish w/ survival die
damage scales with aptitude
no concentration
bonus action or free activation on a hit
one mark at a time
mark ends when target dies (no remarking)
Prepared/Ritual Spellcasting. Rangers may now prepare
their list of available spells when they complete a long rest.
Ritual casting is possible, although it costs a survival die.
Tireless. Adapted optional feature from Tasha's. Previously
10th level, now 6th, works with aptitude/survival dice.
Ambusher. New 10th level feature.
Fade Away 10th level feature Adapted from Tasha's
Cauldron of Everything to function with aptitude/survival dice.
Ranger's Resolve. New 14th level feature. Replaces Vanish
(which is now incorporated in the Prowler survival knack)
Feral Senses. Changed to Blindsight, which is essentially
the same as what it previously was, only now more
streamlined.
Fatal Mark. Replaces Foe Slayer. A much more consistent
and useful bonus, limited by the fact it can only apply to a target
marked by your Hunter's Quarry.
Other Documents
Mythmaker's Ranger utilizes (and in some cases relies on) a
number of subsystems added by other Mythmaker documents:
Mythmaker's Grimoire Vol. 1
Mythmaker's Equipment Overhaul
*MM's Book of Brewing (Alchemy, Poisons, and more)
*MM's Manual of Trap Making
*MM's Guide to Gear Crafting
*coming soon
MGV1 offers 25+ new spells for rangers to prepare. More
spells are added frequently to the ranger list via patreon,
eventually to be released in MGV2.
The equipment overhaul is fully optional for the base class
and most subclasses, easily replaced with the standard
equipment rules except for certain subclasses whose features
rely on added weapon and/or armor properties.
Likewise, the Book of Brewing, Manual of Trap Making, and
Guide to Gear Crafting can be ignored. In doing so, one should
also ignore the Alchemist and Trapper survival knacks. Certain
subclasses possess (optional) features which also rely on these
crafting rulesets.
Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Lastly, this class is
intended to be used alongside certain options presented in
Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Added Ranger spells
Expanded Ranger spell list
Ranger fighting styles
Ranger Spellcasting Focus
Martial Versatility
Skill Versatility
Other optional class features not listed above should NOT be
used with this version of the ranger class.
In any case where a subclass provides a spell from a source
book you can not access, work with your GM to choose a fitting
alternative from the same spell level.
Patron Shout Out

Hunter's Quarry
When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can designate it
as the quarry of your hunt (no action required). Alternatively,
you can use a bonus action to mark a creature you see within
90 feet of you. The target is marked until it drops to 0 hit
points, 8 hours pass, or you use this feature again to target
another creature. While a creature is marked, you gain the
following benefits:
Tracker's Sense. You have advantage on any Wisdom
(Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you make to find the
target
Lethal Strike. You deal extra damage to the target whenever
you hit it with a weapon attack. The damage is equal to the die
shown for your level in the aptitude column of the Ranger table.
You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal
to 1 + your proficiency bonus. You can also expend Survival Die
to gain additional uses (one use per die spent).
Hunter's Mark
The Hunter's Quarry feature is intended to completely
replace the Hunter's Mark spell, removing the spell
from the game. If your GM does not remove Hunter's
Mark from the game, the spell and class feature
should never be allowed to stack.
Ultimate Survivalist
You are an unsurpassed explorer and survivor. You can call on
your skills in crucial moments, pushing yourself to the limits by
expending survival die.
You have a pool of survival die, as shown in the survival dice
column of the ranger table. When you use a survival die, roll the
die shown for your level in the aptitude column of the ranger
table. A survival die is expended when you use it, unless
otherwise noted. You regain all of your expended survival dice
when you finish a long rest.
If an ability allows you to expend a survival die to add it to an
attack or damage roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can
only do so once for that roll (unless otherwise noted).
At first level, you learn two survivalist knacks of your choice
from the list below. You may choose one more at 6th, 10th, and
14th level.
Alchemist (Requires Herbalism Kit). You gain proficiency
with Alchemy tools and learn 2 alchemy recipes with rating 1.
When you make an ability check to harvest ingredients, to craft
an alchemical creation, or to reverse engineer one, you can
expend a survival die to add a roll of the die to your ability
check. You must choose to do so before you roll.
Discerning Mind. You gain proficiency with the Investigation
skill, if you don't already have it. Your proficiency bonus is
doubled for any Investigation check you make. Additionally, you
can take the Search action as a bonus action. When you do, you
can expend a survival die to add a roll of the die to the check.
You must choose to do so before you roll.
Eagle Eyes. You gain proficiency with the Perception skill, if
you don't already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for
any Perception check you make. As a bonus action, you can
steady your aim to give yourself advantage on your next attack
roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if
you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the
bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
When you use this feature and hit, you can expend a survival
die to add a roll of the die to the attack's damage.
Master of Your Environment. When you benefit from at
least half cover, you also gain an additional +1 bonus to your AC
and Dexterity saving throws. When you create cover, you
extend this bonus to any creature who benefits from the cover.
Lastly, when you make a ranged attack from behind at least half
cover, you can expend a survival die to add a roll of the die to
the attack roll. You must choose to do so before you roll.
Natural Vitality (6th level). As an action, you can expend a
survival die to regain hit points equal to a roll of the die + your
Constitution modifier. Once you use this feature, you must
finish a long rest before you can do so again. You are also
immune to disease, and you regain one additional hit die when
you complete a long rest.
Nature's Diplomat. You learn three languages (or gain 6
language points, if using Mythmaker's Language Rules). You
also gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. When you make a
Charisma ability check and you share a language with the target
creature(s), you can expend a survival die to add a roll of the
die to the ability check. You can choose to use this feature
before or after you roll, but before the result is declared.
Prowler. You gain proficiency with the Stealth skill, if you don't
already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any
Stealth check you make. If you are traveling alone, you can
move stealthily at a normal pace. Also, you can't be tracked by
nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.
Additionally, you can expend a survival die to take the Hide
action as a bonus action. When you do, add a roll of your
survival die to the check.
Rugged Resilience (10th level). You gain a +2 bonus to
Constitution saving throws. When you make a constitution
saving throw, you can expend a survival die to add a roll of the
die to the total. You can choose to use this feature before or
after you roll, but before the result is declared.
Seasoned Mind (10th level). You gain a +1 bonus to two of
your choice from Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving
throws. When you make any one of those saving throws, you
can expend a survival die to add a roll of the die to the total. You
can choose to use this feature before or after you roll, but
before the result is declared.
Trapper. You gain proficiency with Tinker's Tools and learn 2
trap designs with rating 1. When you deploy a trap or cast a
spell that creates a trap (as described specifically in a spell's
description), you can expend a survival die to enhance the trap.
Any creature that makes a saving throw against the trap
subtracts a roll of your survival die from their total.
4
Traveler. Your speed increases by 5 feet, and you gain a
climbing and swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
Additionally, when you forage, you find twice as much food as
you normally would. Lastly, once per turn, on your turn, you
can expend a survival die (no action required) to increase your
movement speed by 10 feet until your turn ends.
Vigilance. You gain a +2 bonus to Initiative rolls. Even when
you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as
foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger,
and you don't suffer the -5 penalty to your passive perception
score while traveling at a fast pace. Lastly, when you roll
initiative, you can expend a survival die to add a roll of the die
to your total. You must choose to do so before you roll.
Wildlife Keeper (6th level). You gain proficiency with the
Animal Handling skill, if you don't already have it. Your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any Animal Handling check
you make. Additionally, you can expend a survival die to cast
Animal Friendship or Beast Bond as a 1st level spell without
expending a spell slot.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your
specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a
Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to
choose again.
Archery. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with
ranged weapons.
Bludgeoning Specialist. When you hit with a weapon
attack that deals bludgeoning damage and the attack roll
exceeds the target's AC by 5 or more, the target must
succeed a Constitution saving throw or become Dazed* until
its next turn ends. The DC equals 10 + 2 for each other time
the creature has been forced to make this saving throw since
the start of its last turn.
Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus
to AC.
Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one
hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage
rolls with that weapon.
Finisher. When you deal damage to a prone, restrained, or
incapacitated enemy with a weapon attack, roll an
additional damage die. If the weapon has multiple die, use
the largest type.
Slashing Specialist. When you hit with a weapon attack
that deals slashing damage and the attack roll exceeds the
target's AC by 5 or more, add your proficiency bonus to the
damage. Undead and Constructs are immune to this extra
damage.
Piercing Specialist. When you hit with a weapon attack
that deals piercing damage and the attack roll exceeds the
target's AC by 5 or more, roll all damage for the attack twice
and take the higher result. The attack's damage also ignores
any damage reduction provided by the target's armor.
Two Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon
fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of
the second attack.
Condition: Dazed
A dazed creature can only take an action or a bonus
action on its turn -- not both. It also can't reactions.
Lastly, a dazed creature has disadvantage on saving
throws against being stunned. The dazed condition
ends immediately if the target becomes stunned.
Spellcasting
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the
magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does.
See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and the end
of this document for the ranger spell list.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your ranger spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st level
or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of ranger spells that are available for you
to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so,
choose a number of ranger spells equal to your Wisdom
modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down (minimum of
one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell
slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 1st-
level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your
list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level,
in any combination. If you prepare the 1st- level spell animal
friendship, you can cast it using a 1st- level or a 2nd-level slot.
Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared
spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a
long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time
spent in planning and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell
level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since
your magic draws on your attunement to nature. You use your
Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In
addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the
saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making
an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
By expending a survival die, you can cast a ranger spell as a
ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell
prepared.
5
Primal Awareness
Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your awareness through the
interconnections of nature: you gain access to the spells listed
for that level in the Primal Awareness Spells table. Once you
gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared,
and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can
prepare each day.
Primal Awareness
Ranger Level Spells
3rd speak with animals
5th beast sense
9th speak with plants
13th locate creature
17th commune with nature
You can cast each of these spells once without expending a
spell slot. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can't do so again
until you finish a long rest. You can also expend a survival die to
gain an additional use (one use per die expended).
Ranger Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a
ranger archetype from the list of available archetypes. Your
choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th,
11th, and 15th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th
level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or
you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, As
normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a
feat.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Tireless
Starting at 6th level, as an action, you can give yourself a
number of temporary hit points equal to a roll of your aptitude
+ your Wisdom modifier. You can use this special action a
number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You can
gain an additional use by expending a survival die (one use per
die expended)
In addition, whenever you finish a short rest, your exhaustion
level, if any, is decreased by 1.
Resourceful
Starting at 6th level, you can recover one expended survival die
when you finish a short rest.
Land's Stride
Starting at 8th level, you can swiftly move where others
struggle. Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you
no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical
plants without being slowed by them and without taking
damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar
hazard.
In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against
plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede
movement, such those created by the entangle spell.
Ambusher
At 10th level, you learn how to act swiftly and deal deadly
strikes at unaware prey. You add your aptitude to initiative
rolls, and you have advantage on attack rolls against any
creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet.
Mystic Fade
At 10th level, you draw on the powers of nature to hide yourself
from view briefly. As a bonus action, you can magically become
invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or
carrying, until the start of your next turn. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and
you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You
can also expend a survival die to gain an additional use (one
use per die expended).
Ranger's Resolve
At 14th level, surviving the harshness of the wilds has steeled
your body. You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws. If
you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency
in another saving throw of your choice.
Feral Senses
At 18th level, your senses are enhanced by the natural magic
you have exposed yourself to. You gain blindsight out to 30 feet.
Fatal Mark
At 20th level, when you make an attack against a creature
marked by your Hunter's Quarry, add your Wisdom modifier to
the attack and damage rolls.
(The mechanics of the Fatal Mark feature were created by
community member Techcaliber (found on reddit as
u/owlbear_den) and are included with their permission)

Crafting
Some subclass features draw upon added rules and

Poisons, and more), Mythmaker's Guide to Gear

Mythmaker's Manual of Trap Making. These works will
be released to the public at a later date. Until that
time, consider the portions of these features which
refer to "recipes" as optional.

Slayer's Mark
Starting at 3rd level, when a creature marked by your Hunter's
Quarry drops to 0 hit points, the magic of the mark lingers long
enough for you to move the mark before the end of your next
turn as a bonus action. You must move the mark to another
creature with the same creature type. If you do not, the mark
ends at the end of your next turn.

Tenacious Attacker
Starting at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, the creature takes a extra damage equal to your aptitude
if it's below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra

a target marked by your Hunter's Quarry, add your aptitude to
the attack roll.

Hidden Vantage
Starting at 3rd level, you can maintain hidden position even
while attacking from range. Immediately after you take the

Additionally, if you spend 1 minute to prepare a hiding place,
you add +10 to your Stealth checks in the prepared place. If you

you prepare a new hiding place.

Stalker
A stalker is a ghost in the wilderness, much like the silent
predators and unseen prey of the bestial world. Stalkers can
remain unseen in almost any situation, subtly influencing an
encounter in diverse ways until they are ready to pounce. Their
abilities mesh mundane and magical means to achieve the
deadliest hunt or the safest passage possible.
Stalker's Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn additional spells when you reach
certain levels in this class, as shown in the Stalker Spells table.
Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but doesn't count
against the number of ranger spells you can prepare.

At 3rd level, you learn the Prowler survival knack, unless you
already know it.
Survival Knack: Prowler
You gain proficiency with the Stealth skill, if you don't
already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for
any Stealth check you make. If you are traveling alone,
you can move stealthily at a normal pace. Also, you
can't be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you
choose to leave a trail. Additionally, you can expend a
survival die to take the Hide action as a bonus action.
When you do, add a roll of your survival die to the
check.
Stalker's Strike
Starting at 3rd level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit
a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can add your aptitude to
a damage roll against one creature you hit with an attack if you
have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse
or a ranged weapon.
You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy
of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated,
and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Guerilla. Choose three types of terrain from: arctic, coast,
desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, tundra, or
underground. You have advantage on stealth checks in the
chosen environments.
Nightstalker. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet.

Quick & Quiet. You can Dash as a bonus action. You can
travel stealthily at a normal pace.
Improved Stalker's Stride
Starting at 11th level, you roll your aptitude twice, instead of
once, when determining the extra damage from your Stalker's
Strike feature.
Rules Reminder: Stacking Aptitude or
Survival Die
As a reminder, if an ability allows you to expend a
survival die to add it to an attack or damage roll,
ability check, or saving throw, you can only do so once
for that roll (unless otherwise noted).
However, when a feature allows you to add your
aptitude to a roll without requiring you to expend a
survival die, it can stack with other aptitude dice
added to the same roll.
Evasive
Starting at 15th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of
certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or a
lightning bolt spell. When you are subjected to an effect that
allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half
damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the
saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Stalker Talents
Starting at 7th level, you learn two stalker talents from the list
below. You learn one additional talent at 11th and 15th level.
You can not choose the same stalker talent more than once.

Silent Stride. While walking on natural terrain, such as

grass, sand, rocks, or a forest floor, your steps make no
sound. This grants a +2 bonus to Stealth checks that rely on
sound.

Wayfarer
Master of land, sea, and sky, a Wayfarer learns techniques for
exploration and combat in every environment they might
encounter. They are experts of adaptation, and keep a wide
array of knowledge.
Wayfarer's Magic
Starting at 3rd level, your ability to adapt to every environment
dictates how you practice magic. You can prepare one
additional spell at 3rd level, and one more at 5th, 9th, 13th, and
17th levels. This extra spell must be of a level you can cast with
a Ranger spell slot. It can be from the Druid or Ranger spell list.
Seasoned Defenses
Starting at 15th level, your diverse experiences have taught you
how to survive through any situation. Add your aptitude to any
saving throw you make that does not already add your aptitude
from another feature.
Rules Note: Adding Aptitude
A feature counts as "adding aptitude" when you roll a
die which references your aptitude stat. This does not
necessarily have to be tied to expending a survival die,
although it may be.

Wayfarer's Skillset
You gain proficiency with land and water vehicles, and add
double your proficiency bonus to any check you make with
those vehicles.
Additionally, you gain the Traveler survival knack. If you
already have it, choose any other knack.

Versatile Explorer
Starting at 3rd level, you have built a a strong familiarity with a
handful of environments. Choose three types of favored terrain:
arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, ocean, swamp,
tundra, or underground.
When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to
one of your favored terrains, your proficiency bonus is doubled
if you are using a skill that you're proficient in.
While traveling for an hour or more in one of your favored
terrains, you gain the following benefits:

Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel.

Your group can't become lost except by magical means.
Even when you are engaged in another activity while
traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you
remain alert to danger.
If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a
normal pace.
While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact
number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through
the area.

After spending 48 hours traveling in a terrain that is not one

of your favored terrain, you can temporarily treat it is a favored
terrain. This lasts until you begin traveling in a different
environment.

Adapting Expertise
Starting at 7th level, choose two skills or tools which you are
proficient in. You double your proficiency bonus for any check
you make with the chosen skills. When you complete a long
rest, you can change one of the chosen proificiencies for
another.
Additionally, when you make an ability check with a skill you
are not proficient in, you can expend a survival die to add a roll
of the die to the ability check.

Ultimate Aptitude
Starting at 11th level, your Aptitude is a 2d4. This replaces the
change to the die that would normally occur at 13th level.
Additionally, your pool of survival die increases by 1.

Trapper
Experts of traps, both magical and mechanical. Trappers know
the value of preparation and planning, and can take great
advantage of opportunities to do so. As they master their
techniques, they can even rectify lack of preparation, deploying
traps on the fly. Trappers also excel at misdirection, deception,
and controlling or restricting their target's movement.
Surprise Specialist
Starting at 11th level, you are a master of surprise -- both in
dealing it and reacting to it. When you force a creature to make
a saving throw during a surprise round of combat, their saving
throw is made with disadvantage.
Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat
and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first
turn.

Using Tinker's Tools, you can create, repair, and modify traps
as per the rules found in Mythmaker's Manual of Trap Making.
When you gain this feature, you immediately learn 4 trap
designs. You learn one additional design at 7th, 11th, and 15th
level. Whenever you learn a trap design through this feature, it
must have a base rating equal to or lower than your proficiency
bonus.

Optional Feature: Trap Master Expanded

You can forgo the Trapper’s Magic feature to learn two
additional trap designs at each level in the Trapper's
Magic table above (3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, 17th).

Starting at 3rd level, you have advantage on a melee attack roll
against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of
the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Pack Tactics & Power Level

Some GM's may be hesitant to allow this feature in
their game. Admittedly, its significance varies
depending on whether or not you use the rules for
flanking.
If you don't use flanking, or prefer a less strong
version of this feature anyway, simply limit this feature
to once per turn (no action required, must choose to
use before rolling the attack)

Call of the Hunt

Starting at 7th level, as a bonus action, you let out a howl that
rallies your allies towards your quarry. All allies within 300 feet
who can hear you can use their reaction to immediately move
up to their speed directly towards a creature marked by your
Hunter's Quarry. As part of the bonus action, you can also take
the same movement (without requiring your reaction, or
expending movement). If you have no marked creature, affected
allies can move towards you instead. In either case, the
movement must end closer to the target than it started.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you
finish a short or long rest. You can also expend survival dice to
gain additional uses (1 use per 3 die spent).

Coordinated Attacks
Starting at 11th level, when you take the attack action, you can
choose to initiate a coordinated attack against your Hunter's
Quarry as part of the action. When you do, all attacks against
your Hunter's Quarry have a bonus to attack and damage rolls
equal to the number of your allies within 10 feet of the target
(max +5). This effect lasts until the end of your next turn. 15

Vanguard
Vanguards are unshakable defenders. They protect their

something else entirely. Vanguards can intercept incoming
effects to protect nearby allies, and they always maintain best

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Heavy Armor. You
also learn the Interception fighting style (TCE).
When you use the Interception fighting style, you can expend
a survival die to add a roll of the die to the damage reduction,
and to regain use of your reaction for the current round.

Fighting Style Alternatives

If you aren't able to access Tasha's Cauldron of
Everything, or your GM finds Interception too
powerful, you can substitute the Protection fighting
style instead.

Proactive Protection
Starting at 3rd level, you can actively dedicated yourself to
protect a specific creature for a short time. As an action, you
can defend a creature within 5 feet of you. Until the start of
your next turn, any attack roll made against the protected ally
has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, as long as the ally
is within 5 feet of you.

Trek to Protect
Starting at 7th level, when an ally you can see within 15 feet of
you is targeted by an attack or forced to make a saving throw,
you can use your reaction to move up to half your speed
directly towards that ally. This movement must end closer to
the ally than it started. Opportunity attacks triggered by this
movement have disadvantage.
If the movement ends within 5 feet of the ally, you can
expend a survival die to immediately use your Proactive
Protection feature targeting that ally as part of the same
reaction you used to move.

friend. The following forms are available (in addition to the
normal list of forms described in the spell): deer, falcon, fox,
owl, and squirrel.
Starting at 7th level, this list also includes the bloodhawk,

These rangers revere trees of all kinds. Their ultimate charge is
to protect trees at all costs, although this also translates into
protecting the rest of nature around them. Not only do Arbor

with them, and develop close friendships with any sentient tree
they meet.

Raging Roots. Your magic conjures roots or vines to grasp
for the target, who must make a Strength saving throw against
your spell save DC. On a failure, the target is grappled. While
grappled in this way, the target is also restrained.
The roots/vines last for up to 1 minute, and they disappear
early if your Hunter's Quarry ends, or if the target drops to 0 hit
points. The vines are an object with AC 8, 12 HP, and
vulnerability to fire damage. This effect can only be used
against a creature standing on loose soil, sand, loose stone, or
another natural terrain of similar quality.
Awaken Ally
Starting at 11th level, you can draw an ancient tree spirit from
its afterlife to temporarily inhabit a tree nearby. This ritual
takes 1 minute to perform. When the ritual completes, touch a
Huge or smaller tree that has no Intelligence score. The tree
becomes a creature and uses the statistics for an awakened tree
(MM p317) if the tree was size Large or Huge, or an Awakened
Shrub if it was size Medium or smaller. It gains the ability to
speak one language you know, and the ability to move its limbs,
roots, vines, creepers, and so forth. It also gains senses similar
to a human's.
The spirit inhabits the target plant for up to 1 hour, after
which time the tree reverts to a magical plant. If this occurs
while the tree is on suitable terrain, it will magically graft itself
to the earth, remaining healthy in its new location. Otherwise,
the tree falls to the ground, unrooted and dying.
Improved Arboreal Aspects
Starting at 17th level, when you enter your Guardian form, you
can choose one of the following additional effects:
Thorns. When a creature hits you with a melee attack, they
take piercing damage equal to your proficiency bonus. If the
creature is marked by your Hunter's Quarry, the damage also
includes your aptitude die.
Sturdy. You gain temporary hit points equal to your Ranger
level, which last for the duration. You also have advantage on
Strength saving throws, and you are immune to the Prone
condition.
Ironbark. Your AC increases by 2, instead of 1, and you are
not Exposed to Fire damage.
Vines. While you are touching the ground, the ground within
15 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies.

Realm Keepers
Realm Keepers are wardens of the entire realm-scape. Their
purposes can vary, but typically they seek to thwart any force
that might threaten one or more entire realms. Realm Keepers
must be confident, but cautious, as they often face colossal,
mysterious threats. They choose their allies carefully, and value
them highly.
Realm Keeper's Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn additional spells when you reach
certain levels in this class, as shown in the Realm Keeper Spells
table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't
count against the number of ranger spells you can prepare.
Improved Realmscape Readiness
Starting at 7th level, your realmscape readiness improves:
Select two damage types
The bonus becomes +2
Transitive Strike
At 11th level, you gain the ability to shift in and out of a
transitive state in the blink of an eye. When you take the Attack
action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack to an
unoccupied space you can see.
If you attack at least two different creatures with the action,
you can make one additional attack with it against a third
creature.

Realmscape Readiness
Starting at 3rd level, you've learned techniques to prepare for
any path that lay ahead, whatever world it may take you to.
When you complete a long rest, choose each of the following:

One damage type which you become resistant to

One creature type against which you have a +1 bonus to
damage rolls and saving throws
One language which you temporarily understand (although
this grants you no ability to speak it)

The benefits you select last until you change them again
using this feature.

Find Foe
Starting at 7th level, your attunement to the balance of the
realmscape helps you supernaturally locate a target. Over the
course of 1 minute, you can focus your senses to divine what
realm of existance a creature you know or know of is on. If you
have met or seen the creature at least once, the effect
automatically succeeds, unless the target is guarded from
divination. If you have only heard a description of the target,
roll a DC 11 Wisdom check. On a success, you learn what plane
the target is currently on.
You can use this feature once per long rest. You can also
expend survival die to gain additional uses (1 use per 2 die
spent)

Living Rope
1st-level transmutation
Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: S, M (a non-magical rope at least 20 feet long,
up to 60 feet long, worth at least 1 sp)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You animate a non-magical rope you hold that is no more than
60 feet long, and no less than 20 feet long.
The rope is an animated object with 10 AC and 15 hit points.
The rope has a fly speed of 30 feet. It can occupy a single 5 foot
space while coiled, or stretch out to its full length (in this state,
it does not occupy its spaces). As part of casting the spell, and
as a bonus action on each of your turns for the duration, you
can move the rope up to 30 feet and then command the rope
with one of the following options, provided the rope remains
within range.
Lasso. The rope attempts to grapple a Large or smaller
creature within range. Make a grapple attempt, using your
spellcasting ability modifier in place of athletics. The rope can
not move or take other commands while grappling a creature.
Grasp. The rope uses one end of itself to pick up an object
that weighs no more than 50 lbs.
Tie-Down. The rope ties one end of itself to a fixed object,
such as a boulder, tree trunk, or lamp post. The knot the rope
creates is always secure, although this has no effect on the
stability of the anchor.
If the rope is destroyed or if it leaves the spells range, the
spell ends early. When the spell ends, any Lasso or Grasp ends,
but a tied rope remains tied.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 2nd level or higher, the rope is created with 15 additional hit
points for each slot level above 1st.
Realmward
3rd-level divination
Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
You bind yourself to your current plane of existence, forming a
powerful but temporary connection. For the duration, while
you are on the plane of existence you bound yourself to:
You sense any creature within 300 feet that is native to a
different plane of existence than your current plane. You
sense the creature's general direction, but not necessarily
it's exact location.
You sense any portal to another plane of existence within
300 feet of you. Through this sense, you know the portal's
exact location.
You add 1d4 to attack rolls against creatures not native to
your current plane.
Regenerating Ward
5th-level abjuration
Sorcerer, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You touch a willing creature and surround them with a pulsing
protective energy, which appears as a series of faintly glowing
arcane glyphs in the creature's space. These glyphs shed bright
light in a 5-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 5-feet.
For the duration, whenever the target would take damage for
the first time on a turn, reduce the damage by 2d6 (to a
minimum of 0). This reduction is applied before resistances or
vulnerabilities. If there are multiple damage types, the target
decides how the reduction is distributed amongst them. If, at
any point during the duration, the target takes damage
exceeding an amount equal to 5 times the spell slot level used,
the ward shatters and the spell ends early.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 6th level or higher, the damage reduction increases by 1d6
for every two slot levels above 5th.
Snap Freeze
4th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a drop of water)
Duration: Instantaneous
You transmute the very air around a creature to a frigid cold.
Choose a Large or smaller creature you can see within range.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed
save, the target suffers 4d8 cold damage and becomes frozen.
While frozen by this spell, the target is restrained. If the target
fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they are instead paralyzed
while frozen. On a successful save, the target suffers half as
much damage and is not frozen.
A frozen target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each
of their turns, ending the effect on a success, or becoming
paralyzed if they fail the repeated save by 5 or more.
The spell ends early for a frozen creature if they take at least
15 points of fire, bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage at
one time.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot
level above 4th.
