Ranger class [1]
Class Group: Experts
Primary Abiliy: Dexterity, Wisdom
Design Notes: Ranger Updates[edit]
+ Here are the main updates in this class since its last playtest version:
- Deft Explorer replaces the Expertise feature at 1st level. Deft Explorer includes one Expertise choice, along with some terrain-oriented material, which playtesters requested. The feature now improves at 9th level.
- Spellcasting has three noteworthy changes: (1) spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of your spell slots, (2) the Ranger can change one prepared spell upon finishing a Long Rest, and (3) cantrips are no longer included; the Ranger instead gets Weapon Mastery at 1st level.
- Weapon Mastery is a new 1st-level feature.
- Favored Enemy has moved to 2nd level, and it no longer removes Concentration from Hunter’s Mark, which was overpowered in playtests. The feature instead now allows you to cast the spell a number of times without expending a spell slot.
- Ranger Subclass levels now match the level progression in the 2014 Ranger, ensuring compatibility with subclasses already in print.
- Conjure Barrage is a new 9th-level feature.
- Nature’s Veil no longer uses spell slots, and it has moved to 14th level.
- Tireless now gives Temporary Hit Points as an action, as in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.
- Conjure Volley is a new 17th-level feature.
- Feral Senses has returned to 18th level.
- Foe Slayer is now an improved version of the 2014 feature and has returned to 20th level, replacing Epic Boon (Epic Boon feats will return in a future UA, but they won’t be built into a class’s level progression). Foe Slayer is now not limited to once per turn.
Unofficial Description: Rangers are specialist in wilderness exploration and survival; guardians of nature.
