Some rangers are especially home in the wilderness. Agile hunters able to live off of the bounty of the land, they are often found as scouts and guides.

Unarmored Defense

At 3rd level when you select this archetype, you learn to keep yourself safe without the need for armor. While not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Self-Sufficient

Also at 3rd level, you learn to rely on your advanced wilderness skills to see you through. Choose one of the following to be proficient in: Perception, Stealth, Survival, Nature. If you are already proficient, you can instead gain an expertise die .

You also can fashion your own weapons. When in an area with the appropriate raw materials available (as determined by the Narrator), you can fashion one of the following over the course of a short rest with the aid of a dagger or similar bladed implement: blowgun with 10 needles, shortbow with 5 arrows, 50 needles, 20 arrows, club, greatclub, quarterstaff, spear. If you also have a sharp stone such as flint or obsidian available, you can fashion a dagger, handaxe, or macuahuitl (if culturally appropriate) without the use of a bladed implement.

These weapons have the flaw property and any creature except you suffers disadvantage on attack rolls made with them.

You gain an expertise die on attack rolls made against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, when you deal damage to such a creature, it takes an additional 1d4 damage.

At 7th level, this damage increases to 1d6 and this feature also applies to creatures with the beast, monstrosity, and plant types.

Wilderness Specialization
