Ranger Optional Class Feature: Natural Terrain Expert (1st level)

You are an expert at traveling through natural terrain. You gain the following benefits. This replaces the 1st level Natural Explorer class feature.

Natural Terrain Expert (1st Level)

You gain proficiency in Perception and Survival. If you already have that proficiency, you gain Expertise in that skill, which means your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using that skill. You also gain advantage on all other Intelligence and Wisdom checks that relate to something natural if you are proficient in it.

Also, while traveling for an hour or more in natural terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
• Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
• If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
• When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
