Ranger (1.2)

Rangers, also known as Scouts, can be found in every culture. Either on the frontier protecting towns, scouting ahead for large armories, hunting food for the families or communities, or taking excursions out from civilization for those that pay.

Playing the Ranger

The Ranger has lots of varied abilities that help them to survive the rigors of adventuring in the wilderness. They are good in combat but even better in quests. If you want a warrior that has lots of other skills, can dual wield weapons, wears little armor, and has skill with a bow and arrow, the Ranger is for you.
