Grey Fang Hunter

Valdwyn Silverfang is one of the two Ancestors of the Ranger Lodges, along with Ael Theran. Whereas Theran has always preferred to hunt his prey from afar, Valdwyn has mastered the use of his paired blades, the Silver Fangs, for use in his hunts. The Rangers of the Grey Fang Lodge follow in his example and study the records of his teachings, seeking to emulate Valdwyn's own legendary skill. To this end they walk the Path of the Hunter, stalking the dangerous forgotten corners of Cyradil, to slay the most dangerous beasts that only the Old Wolf himself dared to call prey.

Hunter’s Lore

You can call on the forces of nature to reveal certain strengths and weaknesses of your prey. While a creature is marked by your Hunter’s Mark, you know whether that creature has any Immunities, Resistances, or Vulnerabilities, and if the creature has any, you know what they are.

Hunting Stance

As a bonus action, you can assume one of the Hunting Stance below. If you are Incapacitated, knocked prone, Grappled, or Stunned you are removed from your stance.
