Aka Codename: Gene
So what is a Ranger exactly? Well essentially, it's a person who is extremely proficient with archery or various other forms of ranged combat (like thrown weapons etc.). These are people who have been training their whole lives to learn how to correctly use a bow. Through such long training, these people have learned to do miraculous feats with one. On top of that, Rangers are also very good hunters.
So what can we do to make them interesting enough to play:
- Use of all light melee weapons, ranged weapons, and light armor
- +3 to Survival, Handle Animal, Heal, Stealth
Now what are some fun things that Rangers can do?
- Special Arrows - Once again doing the pool of points thing, the Ranger gets a pool of points based on his Passion level (maybe Passion + Guile..?) and he can expend these points to use specific special arrows that grant different benefits
- Blood Seeking - This arrow will go around cover/walls, etc, to get to its intended target. However, if the target is locked in a room with no windows, the arrow will not go through, also, the arrow cannot travel any farther than the bow's maximum shot distance.
- Hail of Arrows - Costs 5 points, fire a hail of arrows up in the air at each and every target
- Phasing Arrow - Can pass through up to 5 feet of solid material
- Unbreakable Arrow - Passes through every enemy in a 60 foot straight line
- Distracting/Whistling Shot - Causes an enemy to be considered flanked/can be used to signal party
- Can craft arrows
- Can use arrows as a stabbing weapon with no penalty
- Double Shot - can sacrifice one's move to fire two regular arrows, second at -1 attack and damage penalty
- Aim - can sacrifice one's move to add +1 to hit
- Can track a person using the Survival skill
- Not affected by natural heat/natural cold (magical still hurts)
- Animal Companion?
