The two main themes with the Ranger abilities, are using a bow, and mastering the magical powers of the wind. They are good at tracking and reading the lay of the land. Survivalism and camouflage are second nature to a ranger. Due to their affinity with nature, they often times will adventure with druids.

Abilities

First

Summon Falcon

• Type: Talent
• Use: Per Day
• Call: Before Action

Summon large falcon to fight by your side.

One With Nature

• Type: Stance
• Use:
• Call: Before Action

Ranger is camouflaged and harder to hit. Gives +2 bonus to nature oriented spells. Gives a bonus to tracking. This maneuver effects increase when in the appropriate setting (such as a forest, or swamp) and conversely, decrease in hostile settings (such as dungeon, or crowded street).

Aimed Shot

• Type: Strike
• Use:
• Call: Before Action

Get +4 to hit with ranged bow attack.

Split Shot

• Type: Strike
• Use:
• Call: Before Action

Fire 2 arrows at once instead of 1. I haven't come to any conclusions about if the Ranger can hit two different opponents? I suppose they could if the opponents were somewhat near each other in the arc of range directly in front of the Ranger. Otherwise, the effects of this ability would not be different than Double Shot.
