Initial Features
Initial Features
As a ranger, you start with the following features.
Skills
Skills
When you take up the ranger calling, you gain 4 skill points which you can freely invest into the following skills: Alchemy, Athletics, Perception, Stealth, Survival, and Tinkering, or any other skill you already have.
You gain additional skill points each level after 1st. Every even level, you gain 2 skill points, which you can only use to advance two different skills you already have. At every odd level, you instead gain 1 skill point, which you can use to advance a skill you already have or learn an entirely new skill. Only your initial skill points are restricted to the list above.
Focused Aim
Focused Aim
When you aim ✦➤, lower the focus cost of your next great or mythic deed you attempt on the same turn by 1 per action spent in this way. A deed's focus cost cannot be lower than 1.
Survivalist
Survivalist
You cannot lose endurance by taking a camp activity.
Instinct ⤾
Instinct ⤾
Your competency for wilderness survival comes from intuition and experience. At the start of each encounter, you gain an instinct die d4, which you can spend in the ways listed below. Once you have spent your instinct die, regain it at the start of the next round.
Expose. When you counter ⤾ a foe, you can roll your instinct die and inflict weak or exposed with a potency equal to the result.
Foil. When a creature inflicts a state on you or forces you to move, you can take a reaction to roll your instinct die and lower the potency by the result.
Pursue. When a foe within 4 moves or is forced to move, you can take a reaction to move up to your mobility and roll your instinct die. On your next turn, your next successful deed deals additional damage equal to the result.
Ranger Masteries
Ranger Masteries
Masteries improve upon your initial features. You gain masteries at 1st, 4th, and 8th level.
Insight
Insight
In your study of prey and predator, you recognize martial accomplishments of others. As an action ✦ you can make a Perception check against a creature in sight. You can attempt this check once per statblock.
⬖ Conflict You learn one mechanical fact of your choice about the creature, such as its level, vigor, one of its features, or the basic details of a common or great deed. Learn another fact per spark.
✦ Triumph You learn two facts instead.
Prey
Prey
Once you've set your sights upon a quarry, little escapes your notice. You follow their every movement with a predator's patience, never letting the trail grow cold.
As an action ✦ you can inflict prey on a foe within sight, a special state that ends when your turn ends and you didn't attempt a deed or maneuver against them.
While a creature is your prey, they cannot benefit from the elusive state, and when you take an instinct ⤾ reaction against them, it doesn't spend your instinct die for the round.
Trophies
Trophies
Monsters leave more behind than hide and bone. Something of their unnatural nature lingers in their flesh, blood, and organs, and you've learned how to harvest these parts as raw ingredients and take their qualities for yourself.
As an action ✦, you can consume any ingredient to activate a mutagen listed below. Each mutagen lasts thirty minutes (3 exploration actions). Mutagens are toxic to the mortal body and always come at a cost in the form of a drawback. These last for the entire duration as well, but can be surpressed at the cost of one endurance.
Gargoyle: Your skin hardens and your body becomes heavy. You can apply the careful or steady spark for free on any successful checks. | Drawback. Your mobility is locked at 1.
Wraith: Your body becomes unnaturally light and quick. You can apply the swift or quiet spark for free on any successful checks. | Drawback. Your reflexes come at the cost of your stability. All forced movement against you is raised by 4.
Wyrding
Wyrding
If you concentrate, you can cause nearby plant matter to slowly bend, twist, part, or otherwise move according to your will while you touch them. This happens over the course of ten minutes (1 exploration action).
You could open a path through brambles, coax a branch down, have vines creep along a wall, part tall grass, etc. When you test the limits of this ability, the judge might ask for a Survival check.
Ranger Talents
Ranger Talents
Talents are the new capabilities you acquire as you advance in level. You gain a talent when you first create your character and then again at every odd level.
Acuity
Acuity
You don't need to spend focus for each additional reaction you take in a round beyond the first. This talent still doesn't let you take multiple reactions to the same triggering event.
Adaptive Mutagens
Requires TrophiesAdaptive Mutagens
You gain two new mutagens:
Chimera. You heighten or develop a new sense, such as heightened sense of hearing or smell, the ability to see heat signatures, echolocation, and so on. You gain any benefits that naturally follow from the sense you chose. | Drawback. The overload of information is distracting: any focus you gain at the end of your turn is halved (round up).
Trollblood. Your body rapidly mends itself. When this mutagen ends, advance one of your injury clocks by 1 and lose 1 endurance. You can lose additional endurance to advance the clock an equal amount. | Drawback. You take 2 additional damage from all sources.

Harass ⤾

Opportunist ⤾

Read the Signs
Requires InsightRead the Signs
You can a free spark on successful checks using the Perception skill. Moreover, you can use the insight action ✦ on a creature without seeing them, provided you can closely examine clear evidence of their actions, such as tracks, wounds they've inflicted, a campsite, or the remains of their prey.
You can then use insight again on the same statblock when you actually encounter the creature.
Strider
Strider
Your speed and mobility both increase by +1, provided you don't wear any heavy armor. If you do wear it, you can instead halve the effects of the hindered state. You still track its potency as normal.
Old Roads
