Show Notes: This week, Fiona and Hamilton head back to the wilderness and discuss the other 6 subclasses for the Ranger - a playable class from the original 5e Player's Handbook. An interesting mix of Druid-style spellcasting, Fighter-style combat capabilities, and Rogue-style skills, Rangers could be a welcome asset in adventuring parties...could be. According to the Player's Handbook: 'Rangers specialize in hunting the monsters that threaten the edges of civilization—humanoid raiders, rampaging beasts and monstrosities, terrible giants, and deadly dragons. They learn to track their quarry as a predator does, moving stealthily through the wilds and hiding themselves in brush and rubble. Rangers focus their combat training on techniques that are particularly useful against their specific favored foes. 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.' In this episode, we cover the following subclasses: Updated Beast Master (from TCoE) Optional Class Features (from TCoE) Gloom Stalker (from XGtE) Horizon Walker (from XGtE) Monster Slayer (from XGtE) Fey Wanderer (from TCoE) Swarmkeeper (from TCoE) Drakewarden (from FToD) Chapters discussed: 'Ranger' from 'Ch 1: Character options', 'Ranger' from 'Ch. 1: Character options' and 'Subclass Options: Ranger: Drakewarden' from 'Ch. 1: Character creation' Books: 'Xanathar's Guide to Everything', 'Tasha's Cauldron of Everything' and 'Fizban's Treasury of Dragons' published by Wizards of the Coast, November 2017, November 2020 and October 2021 respectively.
