Added 2021-01-06 16:50:57 +0000 UTC
What up Patrons, I've made some pretty significant upgrades to the Alternate Ranger based on some great feedback from Reddit and a play-tester or two!
Alternate Ranger (3.4.0)
- Art updates - tried to find some good *WotC / MtG* art with a broader representation of Rangers.
- Ranger Archetype - Archetypes from Xanathar’s and Tasha’s are explicitly mentioned to be compatible with the Alternate Ranger.
- Archetype Spells - Moved description into each subclass.
- Added the Ranger Spell list - (New Spells) *expeditious retreat, feather fall, purify food and drink, continual flame, warding bond, blinding smite, dispel magic, tiny hut, tongues, death ward, divination, staggering smite, contagion, reincarnate.*
- Survivalist Knacks - **BIG** additions here!
- *Explorer I, II* - (NEW) a Knack path for guides and wilderness experts.
- *Herbalist I, II, III* - (NEW) expanded to allow you to focus on healing.
- *Natural Regeneration* - Limited to once per long rest (still powerful).
- *Slayer I, II, III* - (NEW) The tracking portion of *hunter’s mark* has been moved here (and buffed if you take all three).
- *Stalker I* - You can now cover the tracks/scent of your party as well.
- *Strider I* - You allow your party to not be slowed by difficult terrain.
- *Wild Insights I, II* - (NEW) get *really* in-tune with animals and eventually get a familiar.
- Beast Master / Primal Companion - Beast now takes its turn immediately after you as with every other “pet subclass”.
- Beast Master / Beast Master Magic - removed *haste* and added *life transference* at 9th level.
- Beast Master / Exceptional Training - beast must be within 60 feet and be able to see you to gain advantage on saves.
- Beast Master / Exceptional Training - Primal beast’s attacks become magical at this level (moved up from 11th level).
- Hunter - Removed the actual subclass abilities (they were all the same) and just included the Hunter Magic spells.
- Stargazer / Stargazer Magic - added *guidance* here. Your other 3rd level spell depends on your *Celestial Guidance* constellation choice.
- Stargazer / Celestial Guidance - Now you can align yourself with one of six different animal constellations, granting you proficiency bonus free casts of certain 1st-level spells. Borrowed this from the Circle of the Stars, but it is more flexible for the Ranger since you aren’t primarily a caster.
- Sanguine Warrior - Renamed the Blood Hunter, toned down and balanced with the official Ranger Archetypes.
- Slayer - Renamed the Ghostslayer, rebalanced like the Blood Hunter was.
