Ranger

Rangers are creative hunters who have learned to use basic material to create dangerous traps in their environment. They are skilled craftsmen who can create a trap, hide it, then force their enemies to make a mistake, capitalizing and taking advantage of the situation. They are also skilled trackers, able to read their environments and move through the wilderness unimpeded.  

In order to purchase levels in the Prestige Class Ranger you must meet the following requirements. 

• Must have master in Animal Handling, Stealth or Earth Domain Skill (not all three, just one) to obtain level one and two
• Must have Exalted in Animal Handling, Stealth or Earth Domain Skill (not all three, just one) to obtain level three and four
  

Camouflaged Master:
Rangers have mastered the art of disappearing, blending themselves into the environment. A Ranger can completely vanish by simply sitting in a bush or hiding in a tree. If a ranger is obscured by nature, such as a bush, tree leaves or rocks, they can alter their image to look like that natural environment. They can do things like lay in tall grass, hide under sand or blend into a thicket of vines. As long as the ranger remains still they will become one with the environment, unable to be seen until they move. They can also hide their traps, blending the traps into the environment as well. This lets the ranger hide their traps, unable to be found by normal people. 

Novice Trapper:
You may choose two traps from the Trap Table to add to your inventory. You now have access to those traps and can use them in your topics. These traps can be set up in just a few seconds, quickly building and prepping the trap. While it can be done quickly they still require focus, and can not be set up in the heat of battle. 

Genius Tracker:
Rangers have spent their time tracking both wild animals and other humanoids, learning the difference between an animal moving own instinct, and a person moving with purpose. Rangers can now follow tracks left behind by anyone walking, regardless of the terrain, be it sand, dirt or grass. They can also tell the difference between humanoid tracks and animal tracks, even if the tracks have been altered by effects or spells. 



Adept Trapper:
You may choose two additional traps from the Trap Table to add to your inventory. You now have access to those traps and can use them in your topics. 

Increased Senses:
While rangers are great at locating their prey with sight, it is not the only sense they rely on. Rangers have trained all of their senses, including the ability to hear and smell better than normal. This allows them to track prey or detect enemies without seeing them. They can hear minor sounds, able to detect anyone despite them having sound suppressing abilities. They can also smell other creatures, able to track or find enemies just by their smell alone. 



Journeyman Trapper:
You may choose two additional traps from the Trap Table to add to your inventory. You now have access to those traps and can use them in your topics. These traps can be set up in just a few seconds, quickly building and prepping the trap. 

Combat Trapper:
The ranger has spent enough time setting up and building their traps that they have become even faster when it comes to building them. They can now set up a trap in a matter of seconds, allowing them to do it during a single post and while in combat. With the quick movement of their hands they can have their traps ready to go before anyone realizes what had just happened. 

Trail Tracker:
The tracking of the ranger has gotten even better, allowing them to use almost inhuman abilities when locating others. If on a road, trail or path that has been man made or carved out by an animal, they can place their ear to the path, detecting how many people or animals are on that path up to a mile away. They will not know who or what they are, but will get an accurate count of how many and roughly how large they are. This allows a ranger to continue tracking prey or even avoid an area with dangerous creatures. 



Expert Trapper:
You may choose an additional two traps from the Trap Table to add to your inventory. You now have access to those traps and can use them in your topics. 

Keen Eye:
You have spent most of your time working with traps, creating and setting them up. You have now learned how to easily spot a trap, making it much easier for you to locate other peoples traps. You also have gained an intimate knowledge of these traps, allowing you to disarm one without triggering it if it has not already been triggered. 

Urban Tracker:
Rangers at this level have become so good at tracking others that objects, walls and buildings no longer get in their way. By placing their hands on a structure, such as a created wall or a building, the ranger can get a sense of who all is in that building. They get a mental map of any living creature, be it animal or humanoid. While they do not know exactly who it is, they do get a head count of how many are in their and roughly where they are located. This allows rangers to be prepared when getting ready to infiltrate an area.
