-A Ranger is a master of bushcraft, capable of living comfortably far away from civilization and possessing several tricks for overcoming the challenges of the wild. Animals are nearly universally rangers, but among "civilized" humans it's a somewhat rarer class. Note that an adventurer doesn't necessarily need to leave the city in order to take advantage of the Ranger class; scavenging can be done out of dumpsters as easily as from the bush.+A Ranger is a master of bushcraft, capable of living comfortably far away from civilization and possessing several tricks for overcoming the challenges of the wild.
