the monsters that threaten the edges of civilization — Every ranger begins with a favored enemy (or two). The

curiosity, or do you have a grudge to settle?
Thanks to their familiarity with the wilds, rangers
acquire the ability to cast spells that harness nature's
power, much as a druid does. Their spells, like their combat
abilities, emphasize speed, stealth, and the hunt. A ranger's
talents and abilities are honed with deadly focus on the
grim task of protecting the borderlands.

Independent Adventurers
Though a ranger might make a living as a hunter, a guide,
or a tracker, a ranger's true calling is to defend the outskirts
of civilization from the ravages of monsters and humanoid
hordes that press in from the wild. In some places, rangers
gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic
circles. Many rangers, though, are independent almost to a
fault, knowing that, when a dragon or a band of orcs
attacks, a ranger might be the first — and possibly the last
— line of defense.

This fierce independence makes rangers well suited to
adventuring, since they are accustomed to life far from the
comforts of a dry bed and a hot bath. Faced with city-bred
adventurers who grouse and whine about the hardships of
the wild, rangers respond with some mixture of
amusement, frustration, and compassion. But they quickly
learn that other adventurers who can carry their own
weight in a fight against civilization's foes are worth any
extra burden. Coddled city folk might not know how to feed
themselves or find fresh water in the wild, but they make up
for it in other ways.

Grove Sentinel
Rangers of the Grove Sentinel conclave follow ancient
traditions rooted in powerful druidic magic. These rangers
learn to become one with nature, allowing them to channel
shamanistic aspects of various beasts and plants in order
to overcome their foes.

Grove Sentinel rangers dwell in the elder forests of the
world, especially in forgotten ruins bearing the hallmarks of
primal magic. While most are bound by sacred duty to
guard the druidic grove they serve, some venture out into
the world in search of other sites, with the goal of
protecting the ancient trees that have watched over

the world since its earliest days.
