Ranger
Fighters are those who are capable foes, but
not formally trained. 3 classes of fighters exist as
adventurers: berserkers, bounty hunters, and rangers.
Those who roam the countryside, familiar
with every nook and cranny, every trick of survival,
are rangers. Most often, rangers sell their services
to travelers or adventurers as guides. Daily wages
are 10 s.p.
Ability Requirements: Physical Fitness 90,
Health 90.
Gender: Female rangers are uncommon.
Race: Any but ogre.
Disposition: Rangers are rarely immoral or
ethical.
Temperament: Rangers may be any temperament.
Sociality: Peasant or serf.
Religion: Any.
Skills: Aim + 3, Animal Handling + 3, Climb
+ 3, Constellations + 3, Direction Sense + 5, Fishing
+ 3, Hunting + 3, Nature (Animals) + 3, Nature
(Beasts) + 3, Nature (Birds) + 3, Nature (Fish) + 3,
Nature (Geography) + 3, Nature (Humanoids) + 3,
Nature (Mycology) + 3, Nature (Plants) + 3, Nature
(Trees) + 3, Search + 3, Sight + 3, Sound + 3,
Sprint + 3, and 2 Weapons (Specific).
Equipment: Rangers prefer light armor
such as leather or studded leather, and often carry a
bow.
Magic Points: Inapplicable.
Advancement Points: Rangers gain AP in
many ways. For each blow dealt successfully to a
foe, rangers gain AP equal to half of the damage
delivered. Further, each successful skill check for
Animal Handling, Climb, Direction Sense, Fishing,
Hunting, Nature (Animals), Nature (Beasts), Nature
(Birds), Nature (Fish), Nature (Geography), Nature
(Humanoids), Nature (Mycology), Nature (Plants),
Nature (Trees), Search, Sight, and Sound merits a
gain in AP equal to half of the adjusted number
that passed the skill check. However, skill checks
may not be included when performed for trivial reasons
or daily routine, but only under life-threatening
conditions, risk of injury, or when difficult. For
example, the mere successful identification of a tree
[successful Nature (Tree) skill check] earns nothing
for the ranger, but identifying a particular tree amidst
the wilderness for a client who has hired the ranger
as a guide to find it, deserves AP.
Training: None.
Guild: None.
