monster ranger

Darkness... This Ranger sometimes are said to fear themselves and the monster they have. Others think they are paranoid or a joke. While yes they are often the joke of parties and adventurers. These rangers  seem to hide something. Something within. A monster that only grows stronger with time. Fear is their tactics. Necro energy flows through them, and they are edgy as a nightmare. Yeah they love joking about that. These guys and girls switch from serious to better comedies than bards faster than you can say, "A ranger is useless."

Have fun with this terrible subclass. :) the short description is talking about some thoughts of mine. 

Monstrous ways:

As a ranger at  level 3 you can Wis bonus + proficiency bonus a day let in a monstrous desire to kill and gain the following effects: depending on if you have chosen Favored Enemy or Favored Foe will effect this powers effect. For Favored Enemy the ranger has for  1 + WIs bonus hours while additive  instead of having only a handful of favored enemies. The ranger has all possible Favored Enemies. (ex: if a ranger is level 3 and have dragons as their favored enemies. They still have that but all other possible favored enemies are now theirs of beasts, humans, undead etc.)  After the time is up with their ability they gain one level of fatigue. passive effects for those with Favored Enemy are that they get two extra languages, two have +1 to damage with all base favored enemies not from this the effect of Monstrous ways and get one more Favored Enemy at this level.

Favored Foe is no longer required to have concentration and gets to add proficiency bonus to damage from Favored Foe. Once all uses of Favored Foe are used up while having Monstrous ways active gain one level of fatigue.

danger of within:

At level 3 a ranger of monster ranger gains a choice of feats. tough or skilled. tough to make it so the monster within makes you harder to kill; With the extra effect of giving extra AC of 1. (ex: if the ranger has no armor from race, armor or class upgrades the basic boost to AC is making the base 10 become 11 + Dex bonus.) While if Skilled is taken. It means that the monster within is clever and uses the wit to make others fall. They gain an extra +2 to Wis and Dex based skills.

Choice of fear tactics:

 

At level  7 depending on choice of fighting style between  Archery, Two-Weapon Fighting, Dueling, Unarmed Fighting, Defense or Druidic Warrior can gain the following depending on fighting style.
