Pathfinder

Many Rangers began as soldiers, scouts and guides who traveled to distant lands. Many others were outlanders, wanderers, sailors, brigands, spies or assassins. All crossed scorching deserts, climbed erupting volcanoes, explored lethal jungles and survived frozen wastelands. Through harsh experience, they adapted to the dangers and discovered how to wield them as weapons. They studied predators and learned stealth, surprise and sudden overwhelming fury to gain the advantage over their enemies. Pathfinders have beheld wonders and horrors beyond imagining in the far forgotten corners of the world and have dedicated their lives to see it all. 

The Pathfinders excel at scouting enemies and digging in to a degree that they can literally sleep right next to the enemy, these rangers are unlike other rangers as they use nature as a tool to infiltrate enemy forces and use the forces of nature to defeat their foes, even if that means destroying land. Many of these rangers enlisted in the military at one time or something of the like.

Wisdomatic Istincts

The ranger is in tune with their past experience, often times pathfinders find themselves behind enemy lines and inevitably they find them self out numbered by the enemy. Because of this they have learned to anticipate attacks coming at them making it hard to hit them. The pathfinder can now add their Wis Mod to their AC by using their reaction, after being attacked. 

Defensive measures

Fighting in many cases outnumbered against hordes of enemies has honed the pathfinder to be unequivocal on the battle field. The pathfinder can choose to go on the offensive or choose to change his body magically to be un touchable. The bonuses last till the end of your next turn, they do not stack consecutively.  

Defensive

The ranger may expend a spell slot as a bonus action to increase their AC. For every level of spell slot they expend they gain a +2 AC bonus so long as the Pathfinder is wearing Light Armor. They gain a +1 to their Ac if they are wearing medium armor. If you are wearing Heavy armor, you must expend a 4th level spell slot to gain a +1, and a 5th level spell slot to gain a +2. 

Offensive

The ranger may expend a spell slot as a bonus action to gain an additional attack. The level of spell slot gives them one additional attack per a spell level. This only applies if the ranger is wearing Medium armor or  lighter. If the ranger is wearing heavy armor they gain one additional attack for 4th level, 2 additional attacks for 5th level.
