Ranger (Resourceful)

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy commonly encountered in the wilds.

Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid as favored enemies. When you make an attack against your favored enemy, you make it with advantage.

Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice, typically one spoken by your favored enemy or creatures associated with it. However, you are free to pick any language you wish to learn. You gain an additional favored enemy (and associated language) at 6th and 14th levels.

You are a master of navigating the natural world, letting you ignore the slowing effects of traveling through difficult terrain.

In addition, you gain the following benefits when traveling for at least an hour:

At 1st level, your familiarity with the natural world lets you relate to beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit.

Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic, its short-term needs (like food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.

You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.

Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to Mark a target within 90 feet of you as your quarry using a bonus action. You focus your attention on the target's behaviors, sounds, and smells in order to predict its every move. You can maintain this Mark for up to an hour on a target, and you gain advantage on any Perception or Survival checks you make in order to find your quarry.

The first time each round that you hit a Marked target with a weapon attack, that target takes an additional 1d8 weapon damage. You can only have one Marked Prey at a time, and you lose the Mark's affects if you fall unconscious.

You can use this feature a number of times as shown on the Ranger table before needing to finish a long rest to use it again. If your quarry falls to 0 hit points, you may move your Mark to another target as a bonus action within a minute without expending another use of this feature.

Starting at 2nd level, you can start crafting Concoctions using natural materials. Over the course of your adventures, you forage and store the ingredients you need in order to craft them.

When you gain this feature, you learn three recipes of your choice. Concoctions increase in potency as you gain levels in this class. You learn more recipes at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels, as shown on the Ranger table. Whenever you gain a new Ranger level, you can choose to forget a recipe and replace with another one instead. Recipes are detailed at the end of this class description.

You can make Concoctions from your list of known recipes every long rest. In order to keep them fresh and potent, you empty your unused Concoctions at the end of each long rest before making new ones using your stash of foraged ingredients. You can make a maximum number of Concoctions per long rest equal to your Ranger level. Making one Concoction takes two minutes and can be done throughout the day as time permits.

You can give Concoctions to your allies for them to use. Unused Concoctions held by your allies also expire at the end of their next long rest.

Use the Concoction DC below whenever a Concoction that you made calls for a target to make a saving throw.

At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave: the Beast Conclave, the Hunter Conclave, or the Stalker Conclave, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

At 5th level your conclave provides another feature

At 6th level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a Bonus Action on each of your turns in Combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

If you have an animal companion, it also gains this feature.

Also at 6th level, you gain an additional favored enemy (and associated language)

At 7th level your conclave provides another feature

When you reach 8th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

By 8th level, you're an expert at avoiding detection while at rest. You can spend 30 minutes using locally found resources and naturally occurring materials to camouflage a camp site and hide up to 6 medium sized companions in a 15 foot radius. By doing so, you also eliminate any tracks or other traces from your group's traveling in the immediate area surrounding the camp.

Camouflaging a campsite in this way grants the creatures within its radius a +10 bonus to Stealth checks to remain concealed from creatures. Anything overt, such as a fire or talking above a whisper, negates this benefit.

At 10th level, your focus on Marked Prey intensifies. The damage your Marked Prey inflicts increases to 2d8 per round.

At 11th level your conclave provides another feature

When you reach 12th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

At 14th level, creatures affected by your Marked Prey can no longer hide behind their defenses. Weapon attacks that you or an animal companion make against your quarry count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Also at 14th level, you gain an additional favored enemy (and associated language)

At 15th level your conclave provides another feature

When you reach 16th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

At 18th level, you devise a new Concoction recipe that that grants your hands supernatural agility. For one minute after drinking it, you can make two ranged or melee weapon attacks as a bonus action on each of your turns. Melee attacks made in this way must be done using a weapon with the finesse property.

You can drink this Concoction twice before needing a long rest to use it again, and only you can benefit from it.

When you reach 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

By 20th level, you've developed unparalleled instincts. Your Wisdom increases by 4, even if it's already 20. Your maximum Wisdom score increases to 24.

Once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to either the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.
