1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: 1 round
The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you and storing it for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S

You move like the wind. Until the spell ends, your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You call forth a nature spirit to soothe the wounded. The intangible spirit appears in a space that is a 5-foot cube you can see within range. The spirit looks like a transparent beast or fey (your choice).
Until the spell ends, whenever you or a creature you can see moves into the spirit's space for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, you can cause the spirit to restore 1d6 hit points to that creature (no action required). The spirit can't heal constructs or undead.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the spirit up to 30 feet to a space you can see.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (ashes from a burned leaf of mistletoe and a sprig of spruce)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
A veil of shadows and silence radiates from you, masking you and your companions from detection. For the duration, each creature you choose within 30 feet of you (including you) has a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can't be tracked except by magical means. A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.

Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet

One beast of challenge rating 2 or lower
Two beasts of challenge rating 1 or lower
Four beasts of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
Eight beasts of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
Each beast is also considered fey, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
The DM has the creatures' statistics.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more creatures appear: twice as many with a 5th-level slot, three times as many with a 7th-level slot, and four times as many with a 9th-level slot.

Wondrous (Explosives) - Minor Rare (1,650 gp)
Kobolds have learned to leverage every advantage they can create against their opponents. Sometimes that means dazzling them!

When you do so, you launch a few fireworks that fly 30 feet above you before exploding into a brilliant display of colorful lights. Increase your initiative roll's value by 2. The fireworks also distract an enemy; you can choose to reduce the initiative roll of one enemy within 300 feet by 2, but you can only do so before seeing the result of their roll. When this ability is used, the explosion emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet away. This ability cannot be used during Surprise rounds of combat. This ability can be used once and regains its use at midnight.

+2 Light Crossbow – Minor Legendary [10,00gp] – Attunement, Sevenic
This finely carved mahogany wood crossbow is gilded in mithral. The lathe of the bow depicts that of a great skull wherein the bolts fire forth from. Along the bridge of the bow, in mithral gilding are depictions of deep sea leviathans and draconic beasts, with the spine of which acting as the lock for the string, transitioning into the handle bearing the sign of the Bay.
While attuned to this crossbow, you gain the following abilities and features:
Cackling Skull: As an action, the wielder of this crossbow can shoot a cackling skull from the mouth of the crossbow to any space within range that is not blocked by total cover. Make a ranged attack roll, if this hits, the user gains vision of that square and 30 feet around it, as if they were standing there and possessed blind-sight out to 30 feet. This cackling skull makes a light cackling noise and remains for 1 minute, or until destroyed. It has an AC of 16 and 30 hit points. You can use this a number of times equal to one-half of your Proficiency bonus, rounding down, regaining the use(s) after a long rest.

If you critically hit with this ability, only one creature within 10 feet can be subject to the extra 2d8 damage from a critical hit when damaged by this ability. A creature struck by this ability can make a Dexterity saving throw, DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier, on success they suffer half damage. A creature further than 10 feet away gains advantage on their Dexterity saving throw against this effect. You can use this a number of times equal to one-half of your Proficiency bonus, rounding down, regaining the use(s) after a long rest.
Priestly Ties: The cackling skull of the crossbow, whispers the secrets of the waves. If you possess the Channel Divinity class feature, you gain an additional use of this ability per long rest.

A Freemen that takes this mark, gains a fearsome aura. However they are treated as if they are a fiend for the purposes of paladin smites and other effects.
Aura of Fear. At the start of your first turn in a combat, you can choose to activate this aura. Creatures within 20 feet of the bearer of the mark must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute.

You must finish a long rest before you can use this ability again.

When freemen work together anything is possible and many have underestimated the spirit of the salty veterans. A shanty can only be activated with at least two freemen present.

Once one shanty is performed, that shanty cannot be performed again until a short rest is completed. Bard Freemen count as two in these calculations.

You have harnessed the ability to become even more in touch with the Dragonstorm, able to detect and reach out to those akin to you in soul and body. You gain the following benefits:
Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
As an action, you can open your awareness to detect other creatures of the Dragonstorm. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any creature with draconic blood that is within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know what type the creature is (e.g. humanoid, dragon), but not its identity (e.g. Kriseth the green dragonborn). You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starlight Trials Reward
Once per short rest, you may summon a swirling cloud of sailors souls in a 20ft radius centered on you. All allies within this area prevent the first 2 damage they would take each round, from a single source. This lasts for 3 rounds.

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy commonly encountered in the wilds.
Choose a type of favored enemy: beasts, fey, humanoids, monstrosities, or undead. You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with weapon attacks against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice, typically one spoken by your favored enemy or creatures associated with it. However, you are free to pick any language you wish to learn.

You are a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. This grants you the following benefits:
You ignore difficult terrain.
You have advantage on initiative rolls.
On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.
In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more:
Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel.
Your group can't become lost except by magical means.
Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.
Spell Slots
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell animal friendship and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast animal friendship using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list. The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier, Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

Beginning at 3rd level, your master of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you.
You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.
You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes.
Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 5 miles of you. This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures' general direction and distance (in miles) from you.
If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.

At 3rd level, you learn to use your magic to create a powerful bond with a creature of the natural world.
With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 50 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, you call forth a scaled animal from the wilderness to serve as your faithful companion. This companion evolves and adapts rapidly as it fights alongside its master. When you select this archetype, you must choose between three base genomes for your beast companion: Saurian, Piscine, and Wyvern. These genomes determine what stats and abilities your companion starts with, in addition to the abilities you can choose using evolution points you receive at each Ranger level.
Once you select a genome, your companion’s base Ability Scores are locked in. At Ranger Levels 7 and 15, you can select any of the remaining genomes at the expense of losing 2 hit dice for your companion and in exchange you receive the genome’s limbs, base abilities, base attacks, and access to their exclusive abilities you can acquire with evolution points. Or you can continue with your initial genome(s) and add 1 hit dice to your companion’s hit dice total.
Evolutions
Your scaled companion receives a number of evolution points that can be spent to give them new abilities, powers, and other upgrades. These abilities, called evolutions, can be reselected whenever you gain a new ranger level, but they are otherwise set once you play in a session. Some evolutions require that the scaled companion have a specific genome and/or the Ranger be of a specific level before they can be chosen.
Evolutions are grouped by their cost in evolution points. Evolution points cannot be saved. All of the points must be spent whenever you gain a new Ranger level. Unless otherwise noted, each evolution can only be selected once.
At the end of the 8 hours, your animal companion appears and gains all the benefits of your Companion's Bond ability. You can have only one animal companion at a time.
If your animal companion is ever slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, you call forth your companion's spirit and use your magic to create a new body for it. You can return an animal companion to life in this manner even if you do not possess any part of its body.

Your animal companion gains a variety of benefits while it is linked to you.
The animal companion loses its Multiattack action, if it has one.
The companion obeys your commands as best it can. It rolls for initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own.
When using your Natural Explorer feature, you and your animal companion can both move stealthily at a normal pace.
Your animal companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, an animal companion also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC and on their attack’s damage roll. However, should you equip barding to your companion, they lose their proficiency bonus to AC as well as their Natural Armor bonus if they have one.
To determine the AC of your Animal Companion, it’s: 10 + your proficiency bonus + your companion’s Dexterity modifier.
If your companion has natural armor, it’s: Natural Armor + your proficiency bonus + your companion’s dexterity modifier.
To determine saving throw DC for some companion abilities, it’s: 8 + your proficiency bonus + the ability modifier aligned to your companion’s effect.
Your animal companion gains proficiency in two skills of your choice. It also becomes proficient with all saving throws.
For each Ranger level you gain after 3rd, your animal companion gains an additional hit die and increases its hit points accordingly. However, should you add a new genome to your companion at levels 7 and 15, your companion’s hit dice total is reduced by 2 for each new genome. However, should you continue with your initial genome(s), add 1 hit dice to your companion’s hit dice total.
Whenever you gain an Ability Score Improvement or feat from your Ranger levels, the cap of Ability Score Improvement evolutions you can take increases by 1. With the Ability Score Improvement evolution, your companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, your companion can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.
Your companion shares your alignment, and has a personality trait and a flaw that you can roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your ideal, and its bond is always, "The ranger who travels with me is a beloved companion for whom I would gladly give my life."
Your animal companion gains the benefits of your Favored Enemy feature, and of your Greater Favored Enemy feature when you gain that feature at 6th level. It uses the favored enemies you selected for those features.
Trait: I'm dauntless in the face of adversity.
Flaw: I growl at strangers, and all people except my ranger are strangers to me.

You and your animal companion form a more potent fighting force. When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can either attack twice, instead of once, or, if your companion can see you, you can forfeit one of your attacks to have your companion use its reaction to make a melee attack.
This does not stack with the Extra Attack class feature of other classes.
Your companion’s attacks are considered magical for the purposes of bypassing resistance.

At 6th level, you are ready to hunt even deadlier game. Choose a type of greater favored enemy: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fiends, or giants. You gain all the benefits against this chosen enemy that you normally gain against your favored enemy, including an additional language. Your bonus to damage rolls against all your favored enemies increases to +4.
Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against the spells and abilities used by a greater favored enemy.

At 7th level, you can select any remaining genome for your animal companion you haven’t locked in and receive their limbs, base abilities, and access to their exclusive abilities you can acquire with evolution points. Once you lock in a new genome, your companion’s hit dice total is reduced by 2.
Or you can instead choose to forfeit the new genome and add 1 hit dice to your companion’s current hit dice total.

Beginning at 8th level, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.

Starting at 10th level, you can remain perfectly still for long periods of time to set up ambushes.
When you attempt to hide on your turn, you can opt to not move on that turn. If you avoid moving, creatures that attempt to detect you take a -10 penalty to their Wisdom (Perception) checks until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone, either vulnuntarily or because of some external effect. You are still automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden. If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected.

At 11th level, your animal companion can use its action to make a melee attack against each creature of its choice within 5 feet of it, with a separate attack roll for each target.
