Ranger is a
Class in the D&D game
Sword Coast Legends.
Rangers focus their combat training on techniques that are particularly useful against their favored foes. Thanks to their familiarity with the wilds, rangers can also cast spells that harness nature's power. When making a ranger, focus on Dexterity for physical abilities and Wisdom for spellcasting.
Hunters spend weeks, sometimes months at a time hunting their chosen prey in the wilderness. Their skills at stalking and tracking are unparalleled, and they usually learn all they can about a chosen enemy before closing in for the kill.
Beast Masters are those rangers who have truly become one with nature, forming a bond between civilization and the wild. Beast Masters call animal companions to their aid in battle, not as servants, but as comrades with common goals.
Defenders of the wilderness, those who understand the essence of Nature itself can sometimes gain knowledge of powerful, primal magic. These heroes can commune with and command the plants around therm and can even call upon the wind and storms to protect and cleanse their allies.
Combining nature magic and archery, Wardens possess the ability to unleash a variety of magically infused trick shots upon their foes. Shooting with supernatural speed and agility, they can fire lightning bolts from their bows, rain thorns upon their enemies, and pierce right through even the toughest of armors.
Two-Weapon Fighting, or dual wielding, employs the use of a weapon in each hand. This style of combat allows one to rain blows upon their enemies, riposting and whirling across the battlefield in a dizzying ballet of death.
Whether a grizzled veteran or a squire in training, most professions have some degree of martial training. Those who excel in the use of arms, armor and melee combat are a fearsome force to behold on the battlefield. Martial abilities focus on manipulating the battlefield by weakening one's enemies.
Masters of the bow and arrow or crossbow and bolt, a well-trained archer can often pick off their enemies long before they ever have a chance to reach them. The entire battlefield is an archer's target range, and they can call out targets to their allies, shoot down enemies one at a time, or even rain down arrows on multiple targets.
A character's Skills and Proficiencies define many of the things that they can do well, from using certain Weapons to picking a lock. While most adventurers start out proficient in the use of basic Weapons and Armor, more advanced techniques require specialized training and talent. Each Class starts out with their own set of Skills and Proficiencies. Rangers start out with the following:
Stabilize
Proficiency Shield
Armor Proficiency Cloth
Armor Proficiency Light
Armor Proficiency Medium
Simple Weapon Proficiency Club
Simple Weapon Proficiency Mace
Martial Weapon Proficiency Morningstar
