Spectral Gunslinger

To walk the Path of the Spectral Gunslinger is to pit yourself against those who dare not pass on quietly. Guided by the souls of fallen rangers, the Spectral Gunslinger must master unique skills to take on the undead.

Like the Hexblade Warlock, a Spectral Gunslinger Ranger has one main ranged weapon that acts as a conduit for the spiritual bond. As such the weapon will never stray far from its Ranger.

Those who choose this path must be ready to devote their life to the pursuit as once they will be against those who lasted past death.
