Epic Ranger / Survival

[The Kriv]

investing deep enough into Ranger to unlock Epic Ranger, your character unlocks an improved stalking and protection abilities skillset.

Epic Ranger allows you to use any natural skill points invested in "LORE" (enchants do not apply) capped at the number of Ranger Levels:

• Spot
• Listen
• Hide
• Move Silently
• Animal Empathy
• Set Trap

The synergy Bonus being tied to LORE skill because in 3.0 edition the skill was "Wilderness Lore" -and this bonus wouldn't be "free" it comes at a skill-point cost. And that it is tied to the epic-ranger feat keeps it out of the hands of class-dips, making a separation between a character with Ranger Levels, and a true "Epic Ranger"

And as an RP class bonus, to mirror class ability from the 3.0/3.5 D&D rules of a Ranger being able to find fresh water as well a be able to survive in the wilderness:

If you use the "firewood" item to create a fire-ring, you can craft a single ration with a Small Meat, TWO rations with a single Medium Meat, and FOUR rations with a Large Meat.

Drinking Water from natural sources has 0% chance of getting hit with disease. (per PHB of Rangers able to always find fresh water)


Epic Ranger Description: "You move with deadly skill and keen mind through the natural world. The Epic Ranger is both a protector and a hunter, and your powers reflect this"
