A ranger can use a variety of weapons and is quite capable in combat. He stands out in the use of ranged combat, raining down a volley of accurate missiles with his bow or crossbow. His skills also make him adept at finding his prey and avoiding detection. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw upon natural power to cast a selection of divine spells.

The wilds are home to fierce and cunning creatures, such as bloodthirsty worgs and malicious spiders. But more cunning and powerful than these monsters is the ranger, a skilled hunter and stalker. He knows both the hidden hearts of the woodlands and the darkest caves of the underworld, and no strength or weakness of his prey escapes his notice.
