Awareness

A Ranger has an Awareness pool with a maximum capacity equal to their class level plus their Wisdom modifier. This is used by class features such as Favoured Enemy and Survival Instinct. The Ranger recovers 1 Awareness for every 5 non-minion enemies slain.

Favoured Enemy

Rangers are famed for their single-minded focus on eliminating threats. Through the use of this ability, the Ranger expends 1 Awareness to nominate 3 non-Minion targets as Favoured Enemies - identifying and exposing their weaknesses for themselves and allies to exploit. This inflicts the targets with a 20% vulnerability to all damage for 3 rounds. The same target may be selected multiple times, extending the duration by another 3 rounds on each application.

Favoured Terrain

Masters of the environment, the Ranger may exploit their surroundings to hinder their foes, and grant themselves the advantage. The Ranger possesses 3 uses of Favoured Terrain, and may expend a use to target a point within 20m, creating a 7m radius zone of Favoured Terrain at that location for 3 rounds. When this zone expires, the Ranger recovers the use of Favoured Terrain. Within Favoured Terrain, the Ranger and their allies receive a physical damage bonus to attacks equal to the Ranger's Wisdom modifier. In addition, enemies of the Ranger receive a -1 attack bonus penalty, and a 10% movespeed reduction.

Survival Instinct

A Ranger may be spurred to extraordinary feats of self-preservation, should circumstances turn upon them. By consuming 3 points of Awareness, the Ranger may restore hitpoints equal to 10% of their maximum plus their class level. They proceed to also receive temporary hitpoints equal to the healed amount lasting for 3 rounds, and regeneration every 2 seconds for 3 rounds equal to their Wisdom plus Constitution modifiers.

Woodland Stride

The character is immune to the Grease, Web, and Entangle spells.

Evasion

Whenever a reflex save is allowed for half damage, the character instead takes no damage if they succeed at the save.
