{"name":"Ranger (2024 Edition)","overview":"Far from bustling cities, amid the trees of trackless forests and across wide plains, Rangers keep their unending watch in the wilderness. Rangers learn to track their quarry as a predator does, moving stealthily through the wilds and hiding themselves in brush and rubble.\r\n\r\nThanks to their connection with nature, Rangers can also cast spells that harness primal powers of the wilderness.

See the Player\u2019s Handbook for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Ranger spells.\r\n\r\n[b]Spell Slots.[\/b] The Ranger Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.\r\n\r\n[b]Prepared Spells of Level 1+.[\/b] You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Ranger spells. Cure Wounds and Ensnaring Strike are recommended.\r\n\r\nThe number of spells on your list increases as you gain Ranger levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Ranger Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Ranger spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Ranger Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you\u2019re a level 5 Ranger, your list of prepared spells can include six Ranger spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.\r\n\r\nIf another Ranger feature gives spells that you always have prepared, those spells don\u2019t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Ranger spells for you.\r\n\r\n[b]Changing Your Prepared Spells.[\/b] Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with another Ranger spell for which you have spell slots.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Ability.[\/b] Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Ranger spells.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Focus.[\/b] You can use a Druidic Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Ranger spells.\r\n","class_features":"[h3][b]Level 1: Favored Enemy[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou always have the Hunter\u2019s Mark spell prepared. You can cast it twice without expending a spell slot, and you regain all expended uses of this ability when you finish a Long Rest.\r\n\r\nThe number of times you can cast the spell without a spell slot increases when you reach certain Ranger levels, as shown in the Favored Enemy column of the Ranger Features table.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 1: Weapon Mastery[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYour training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Longbows and Shortswords.\r\n\r\n[spoiler]\r\n[h3][b]1. Cleave[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Greataxe, Halberd[\/b]\r\n\r\nCleave allows you to make an additional attack against a second target adjacent to your first. It's like getting a two-for-one special on your attacks! This property shines in crowd control situations, letting you carve through groups of enemies like a hot knife through butter.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]2. Graze[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Glaive, Greatsword[\/b]\r\n\r\nNever let a missed attack go to waste again! Graze lets you deal some damage even when you miss, adding a bit of your ability modifier to soften the blow of a bad roll. It's perfect for those of us who seem to be cursed by the dice gods.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]3. Nick[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Dagger, Light Hammer, Sickle, Scimitar[\/b]\r\n\r\nTwo-weapon fighters, rejoice! Nick weapons allow you to make an additional attack during your Attack action when wielded in your off-hand. This frees up your Bonus Action for other shenanigans while still getting that extra attack goodness. Pair this with the Dual Wielder feat for even more off-hand attack potential!\r\n\r\n[h3][b]4. Push[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Greatclub, Pike, Warhammer, Heavy Crossbow[\/b]\r\n\r\nWho doesn't love a good shove? Push lets you, well, push your target 10 feet away after a successful hit. It's great for battlefield control, breaking grapples, or sending enemies tumbling off cliffs (if you're into that sort of thing).\r\n\r\n[h3][b]5. Sap[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Mace, Spear, Flail, Longsword, Morningstar, War Pick[\/b]\r\n\r\nSap is all about giving your foes a bad time on their next attack. After you hit, your target has disadvantage on their next attack roll. It's like a mini-Stunning Strike for the non-monk crowd!\r\n\r\n[h3][b]6. Slow[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Club, Javelin, Light Crossbow, Sling, Whip, Longbow, Musket[\/b]\r\n\r\nWant to keep that pesky enemy from closing in or running away? Slow reduces their speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn \u2013 perfect for kiting or maintaining that crucial distance in combat.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]7. Topple[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Quarterstaff, Battleaxe, Lance, Maul, Trident[\/b]\r\n\r\nNothing says \"stay down\" quite like Topple. This property forces your target to make a Constitution saving throw or fall prone. It's great for setting up advantage for your melee allies or just making your foes eat dirt.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]8. Vex[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Handaxe, Dart, Shortbow, Rapier, Shortsword, Blowgun, Hand Crossbow, Pistol[\/b]\r\n\r\nVex is all about focusing fire. When you hit a target with a Vex weapon, you have advantage on your next attack roll against that same target. It's perfect for taking down big, tough enemies or just being really, really annoying to one specific foe.\r\n|Weapon Masteries\r\n[\/spoiler]\r\n\r\nWhenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Scimitars and Longswords.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 2: Deft Explorer[\/b][\/h3]\r\nThanks to your travels, you gain the following benefits.\r\n\r\n[b]Expertise.[\/b] Choose one of your skill proficiencies with which you lack Expertise.

The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property to gain this benefit.\r\n|Great Weapon Fighting\r\n[\/spoiler][spoiler]\r\n[h3][b]Protection[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhen a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to interpose your Shield if you're holding one. You impose Disadvantage on the triggering attack roll and all other attack rolls against the target until the start of your next turn if you remain within 5 feet of the target.\r\n|Protection\r\n[\/spoiler][spoiler]\r\n[h3][b]Two-Weapon Fighting[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhen you make an extra attack as a result of using a weapon that has the Light property, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of that attack if you aren't already adding it to the damage.\r\n|Two-Weapon Fighting\r\n[\/spoiler][spoiler]\r\n[h3][b]Druidic Warrior[\/b] [\/h3]\r\nYou learn two Druid cantrips of your choice. Guidance and Starry Wisp are recommended. The chosen cantrips count as Ranger spells for you, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a Ranger level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another Druid cantrip.\r\n|Druidric Warrior\r\n[\/spoiler]\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Ranger Class[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain a Ranger subclass of your choice.

If you have the Incapacitated condition, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.\r\n\r\nIf the beast has died within the last hour, you can you use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher.
