 Bond of Fang and Scale
At 7th level the bond you share with your drake
intensifies, protecting you and stoking the drake’s fury.
When you summon your drake, it grows wings on its
back and gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed.
In addition, while your drake is summoned, you and the
drake gain the following benefits:
Drake Mount. The drake grows to Medium size.
Reflecting your special bond, you can use the drake
as a mount if your size is Medium or smaller. While
you are riding your drake, it can’t use the flying
speed of this feature.
Magic Fang. The drake’s Bite attack deals an extra
1d6 damage of the type chosen for the drake’s
Draconic Essence.
Resistance. You gain resistance to the damage type
chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence.
Drake’s Breath
At 11th level, as an action, you can exhale a 30-foot
cone of damaging breath or cause your drake to exhale
it. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage
(your choice doesn’t have to match your drake’s
Draconic Essence). Each creature in the cone must
make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save
DC, taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
This damage increases to 10d6 when you reach 15th
level in this class.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until
you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of
3rd level or higher to use it again.
Perfected Bond
At 15th level, your bond to your drake reaches the
pinnacle of its power. While your drake is summoned,
you and the drake gain the following benefits:
Empowered Bite. The drake’s Bite attack deals an
extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for its Draconic
Essence (for a total of 2d6 extra damage).
Large Drake. The drake grows to Large size. When
you ride your drake, it is no longer prohibited from
using the flying speed of Bond of Fang and Scale.
Reflexive Resistance. When either you or the drake
takes damage while you’re within 30 feet of each
other, you can use your reaction to give yourself or
the drake resistance to that instance of damage. You
can use this reaction a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.

Hunter’s Sense
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature
and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action,
choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you.
You immediately learn whether the creature has any
damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and
what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination
magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities,
resistances, or vulnerabilities.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Proficiency Bonus. You regain all expended uses of
it when you finish a long rest.
Slayer’s Prey
Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe,
increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action,
you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of
you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn
that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an
extra 1d6 damage from the weapon.
This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It
ends early if you designate a different creature.
Supernatural Defense
At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s
assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of
your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw
and whenever you make an ability check to escape that
target’s grapple, add 1d6 to your roll.
Magic User’s Nemesis
At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone
else’s magic. When you see a creature casting a spell or
teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your
reaction to try to magically foil it. The creature must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell
save DC, or its spell or teleport fails and is wasted.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.
Slayer’s Counter
At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when
your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your
Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw, you
can use your reaction to make one weapon attack
against the quarry. You make this attack immediately
before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your
save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s
normal effects.

When you are moved by Gathered Swarm, it gives

Swarming Dispersal
When you reach 15th level, you can discorporate into
your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage,
you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to
that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then
teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within
30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to

 Ranger
Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the
hedges that shelter the most distant farms from
the terrors of the wild, amid the dense-packed
trees of trackless forests and across wide and
empty plains, rangers keep their unending watch.
This guide details alternate options for playing the
Ranger class and it’s subclasses for Dungeons and
Dragons.

The Ranger’s flavorful features like Favored Foe

and Natural Explorer received an update to make
them more flexible, and more powerful too. Other
class features saw upgrades and rebalancings to
allow Rangers to keep up with other party
members – all whilst maintaining flavor.

For use with the 5th edition of Dungeons and

Dragons.
