The Ranger

True woodsmen, rangers are formidable fighters, their training in the outdoors making them excel at both attack and defense. More than mere wielders of weaponry however, they are adept in the ways of the forest, at woodcraft, tracking and scouting. Most notable is the Ranger's affinity with animals, the ability to tame the mighty bear, gain the trust of the wary fox or make a companion out of the loyal wolf.
