===Design Note: Gloom Stalker Updates===
<ref name="ua23phpt6" />&nbsp;Here are the main updates in this subclass since {{pub|Xanathar's Guide to Everything}}:
* '''{{iplink|Dread Ambusher}}''' now allows the Ranger to deal extra damage more often than only during the first round of combat and includes the Frightened condition.
* {{iplink|Umbral Sight}} now increases your Darkvision by 60 feet, instead of 30 feet, if you already have that sight.
* {{iplink|Stalker’s Flurry}} has been redesigned to enhance the Frighten effect granted by Dread Ambusher
* {{iplink|Shadowy Dodge}} now allows you to teleport immediately after the attack misses, and the feature even works against an attack that has Advantage.
