Entity: Ranger

Source Player Core pg. 220 ^2.0

You have studied hunting, tracking, and wilderness survival, adding a ranger’s tools to your skill set. Your keen eyes while hunting prey help gather more information.

The ranger archetype has access to excellent options to improve a character’s monster knowledge and survival skills, but ranger is of particular interest to any character wanting to become a dedicated archer.

• [Bard](/Classes.aspx?ID=32) rangers support their allies and animal companions with expanded combat options. The bard’s knowledge can also complement the ranger’s investigation of their foes.
• [Cleric](/Classes.aspx?ID=33) rangers are particularly fitting for deities who connect thematically to nature or have a bow as their favored weapon. (Or, in the case of [Erastil](/Deities.aspx?ID=6), both!)
• [Druids](/Classes.aspx?ID=34) have the most thematic overlap with rangers among the spellcasters, allowing you to create a true master of the wilderness.
• [Fighter](/Classes.aspx?ID=35) rangers are among the most fearsome archers, combining the feats from both classes to create a fighting style unique to each fighter ranger. Some warden spells can also be particularly helpful to a fighter.
• [Rogue](/Classes.aspx?ID=37) rangers make excellent snipers or ranged skirmishers, with their rogue skills naturally playing into the ranger’s strengths.
• [Witch](/Classes.aspx?ID=38) rangers add a new prowess scouting to the information they can gain through their familiar and patron.
• [Wizard](/Classes.aspx?ID=39) rangers benefit greatly from ranger’s feat support, backing up their spells with ranged weapon attacks.
