Human – Ranger

A human ranger guides others between the safety of settlements and landscapes absent even from local maps. The character may be a former shepherd, a guardian of trails, or a curious traveler. By noticing changes in the environment, the ranger helps the group decide which route to take. Adaptability supports a character who learns from mistakes and seeks solutions even when the original plan fails.

Within the party, the ranger helps plan routes, follow usable tracks, and recognize changes in the landscape. Before entering a dangerous place, the character can investigate approaches, cover, and ways back. Tracking does not reveal every creature's identity or intentions; the information needs to be combined with other clues. The ranger is therefore useful when rescuing a missing person, finding water, and deciding when the group should stop.

The racial ability Adaptability allows a reroll after the character's own failed roll once per adventure. Vaelor creates a new random permutation, the player chooses a number again, and the better of the two results is used. The class adds Tracker: automatically determine the direction in which a sought person or animal departed, provided usable tracks exist. Choose starting equipment according to the requirements this particular hero meets. The listed values form the basis of a level-one character; personality, name, relationships, and the reason for adventuring are decided during character creation.
