Although technically human, rangers are the protectors of nature and live (to some extent) to serve it. Some regrow their human roots, but never completely- such rangers fight in small groups (max 3). They base their defences upon stealth and ranged-combat. They maintain range by a vast array of traps and their innate swiftness through off-road areas.
Specialisations:
~shadows: stealth, illusions, sniping, instant movement
~nature: traps, tracking, mobility (climbing, running, etc) non-lethal abilities, animal companion
~humanity: leadership, martial knowledge (formations) better hand-to hand combat
Abilities:
1.Traps:
Traps take time to set up. Some traps depend on pre-existing objects (bent tree/ roots/ debry traps)
Traps may be strung together- for example: a bent tree trap may be upgraded with a bear trap to ensure the pray bleeds to death hile hanging/ has a broken leg or in general suffers great injury in the lower-part of the body. The trap may be further edited to fling the pray into a spike-pit, or into the triger of a spiked-log trap/ hidden arrow trap etc.
Mines may be placed in such a fashion that the pray is blasted into a second trap (other mine/ edge of a cliff)
1.1
BearTrap quick, heavy trap- may be poisoned
1.2
Bent Tree Trap- easily spotable trap that can hurl/trap opponents
1.3
Spike-Pit: may be poisoned. requires earth (forsts or fields) (sand/rock means no go since he can't dig through that easily)
1.4
Hidden Arrow Trap: may be poisoned- basically a trigger-activa
ted crossbow.
1.5 Alarm/Marking Trap: bells, chimes and several buckets of quick-dry, no 9 red paint.
1.6 Spiked Log: may be burning. may be poisoned. requires three trees in a treeangle-ish shape- two act as the swing for the hanging log, the third acts as it's support before the trap is sprung
1.7 Debry Trigger Trap: may only be placed in certain areas- places that have rock/log piles, land-slide terrain etc.
1.8 Smoke Trap: helps to hide stealthed targets and other traps
1.9 Mine+trip-wire: mine explodes when stepped upon and launches the target upward. Trip-wire is atached to a tilted mine- to blast the target in the desired direction
1.10 Roots Trap- requires special trees- old and gnarled- the tree is taught to wrap its roots around enemies that come near it or shrug off enemies that climb it.
2.Shooting Style
Only one shooting style may be adopted at any one time. Not sellecting a shooting style brings no extra effects.
2.1 Double Arrow: fires two arrows at the same time, arrows may be of different types. styke causes a loss of accuracy and fire-rate and an increase in damage dealt. both arrows have the same trajectory
2.2 Rapid Fire: fires quicker. causes loss of accuracy.
2.3 Long Aim: fires at a reduced rate. causes an increase in hit chance and crit/ crit^2 chance.
2.4 Directing Shot: fires a directing arrow. friendly players around you with range weapons equiped may choose to fire their missiles to follow your arrow's trajectory- the style decreases your fire rate to the slowest fire rate of all weapons under your direction, but the your damage and your friendly player's damage is increased. the damage increase scales with teh number of players being directed. Npcs always accept your direction.

4.2 Parry Movement- parry and move in the direction of your opponents atack- guarantees your weapon will not break.
4.3 Rising Kick- after dodge. may kb ko
