The fates themselves guide my sword.

No one should ever play a normal ranger when they can play a druid instead. A real ranger is a peerless hunter and a legitimate threat in multiple forms of combat, someone not always necessarily devoted to the protection of nature. It's easy to imagine an evil ranger that would use his connection with nature simply to further his own ends, or perhaps even lack any such connection at all beyond the fact that he fights better in a natural setting than elsewhere.

Making a Ranger

A ranger places more emphasis on mobility than a fighter or barbarian, since he usually lacks their sheer number of attack options or raw power, respectively.

Abilities: Even though it is a martial class, a ranger has relatively low Hit Dice; as such, Strength, Dexterity and Constitution all help to ensure his combat efficacy. Aside from those three, Wisdom is the ranger's most important stat, as it governs his spellcasting ability to track enemies.

Races: Rangers can come from any race.

Alignment: Any.

Starting Gold: 1d6×10 gp (25 gp).

Starting Age: Simple.

Table: The Ranger

First Aid (Su): A paladin may heal 1d6 points of damage per character level as a standard action. This does not change based on his alignment; even evil people need healing sometimes. This is not a positive energy effect, but rather a manifestation of the paladin’s divine might; it thusly affects undead and the living equally.

At 4th level, the paladin may now use his first aid as a move-equivalent action, allowing him to use it multiple times per turn if he wishes.. At 7th level, he can administer first aid as a swift action, and he can use it as an immediate action at 11th level. If he has already used his swift action for the current turn, he may use it as a move action. If a creature is fully healed by this ability, no temporary hit points are gained.
