The Wanderer Class v2.0.0
Added 2023-12-14 03:42:39 +0000 UTCHey All!
Now that I've gotten through all of my public Alternate Martial/Exploit classes I thought it would be a good time to revisit one of my Patreon-exclusive classes - The Wanderer!
The Wanderer is my take on a non-magical Ranger class. Originally, it was just my Alternate Ranger class with Exploits in place of spellcasting and a few other small updates. However, with each update, it starts to become more and more unique. Hopefully, you'll agree this trend continues!
After the most recent poll, I also decided to add THREE new Paths for the Wanderer - some of the ideas were too good to leave out! So enjoy the Paths of the Drifter, Monster Slayer, and Trapper!

While it’s weird to imagine the “ranger” without spells, I think this is probably the best iteration of that class possible in the 5e system. Every single alternate ranger homebrew i’ve seen over the years just tried to do too much, but your exploit system coupled with the “invocations” really does a lot to help this class but really every single class you do.
