Unlike most other Rangers, wilderness survival never came naturally to you. While others would isolate themselves for weeks at a time, hunting down elusive prey, you were more likely to be found relaxing in the tavern, entertaining others with over-inflated stories of your grandiose accomplishments. This is not to imply you are unskilled as an archer or a melee combatant, but your victories came more often through sheer luck, or being in the right place at the right time, rather than any actual planning on your part. Were you a dropout of the Ranger Academy? Perhaps you achieved a miraculous feat in your past, and have been retelling the story for years? Most Urban Rangers don't consciously choose to take on a dangerous life of adventuring, but rather find themselves caught up in situations they never expected to be in.

Suggested Characteristics

The Urban Ranger makes most of their choices by asking themselves the following question, "Will this make a good story?" An adventurer's life is never dull, but Urban Rangers have the tendency to make exciting choices, which may or may not be the most logical ones. Maybe you stood your ground staring down Demogorgon, as the rest of your party rushes to escape. Deep down, Urban Rangers have the confidence (possibly overconfidence) to assume that things will tend to work out for them. Somehow, they're usually right.
