Classes :: Ranger Rangers are outdoorsmen and wandering types who operate beyond the boundaries of society. They feel at home with nature, and do not remain for long in civilized parts, preferring instead to spend their days surrounded by nature. Due to this self-reliant streak, Rangers have a wide variety of skills available to them, including a number of useful spells and several unique abilities which relate to their experience with and knowledge of the natural world. Among these are the skills Track and an improved version of Scan, which makes a ranger an invaluable scout and ally of any group, and the spell Tame, through which a ranger may befriend an animal encountered in the wild. Unlike other classes, rangers are not limited to a single mount due to their close relationship with the animal kingdom. Rangers make strong fighters, and while they do not have as wide a selection of armor and weapons as fighters and paladins, they can deal damage extremely well and stand in the front rank as a substitute when necessary.
