Druidic Warrior

While others simply hunt for sport or to sell what they hunt, you ended up making a deeper connection with the nature around you during your times in the woods and/or any other place where modern society hasn't left its touch.  As a Druidic Warrior ranger, you have learned to respect the wilderness, as its nature itself the one who provides food and shelter to all who live in this planet. Whether you are a follower of the Wild Mother herself, or simply feel more at home sleeping on the dirt than a bed, this is the path for those who have found their way, their purpose, within nature's grasp.

Druidic Warrior rangers tend to wear masks based on different beasts and animals that they personally believe that embodies them the most, whether it is by appearance alone or by symbolism. As your level in ranger increases,  this mask gives its wearer different benefits in which they can choose from, as they level up.

Note: The mask can be a different accessory, if the player wishes to

 

Nature's Gift

Letting the world embrace you in its arms has made it so nature could leave its mark on you. Thanks to this, you gain the next benefits:

• You gain proficiency in INT (Nature) checks, if you haven't yet.
• Animals can understand what you are saying but can't respond back.
• You gain proficiency in woodcarver's tools, to be able to create your wooden mask or any other accessory made out of wood.
• You gain resistance to poison damage and advantage towards getting poisoned.

 

Wild Warrior

As a warrior of the wild, you have learned different ways of fighting back with the power of the wilderness. At 7th level, you gain an extra 1d6 damage to any weapon attack and when someone 5 ft. away from you gets hit, you can use you reaction to reduce the damage taken by 1d8

• The extra damage die becomes a 2d6 at level 9, and a 3d6 at level 14. You can only add this die to one of your weapon attacks for each round.
• The hit-reduction die becomes a 1d10 at level 9, and  a 1d12 at level 14. 

 

Masked Spirit

At 3rd level, when you choose this subclass, the mask made with the spirits of nature come with magical benefits to its wearer. This spirits are linked to the wildlife of the place where you carved your mask, therefore, if you see it more fitting to have a different animal for a different spirit, it is ok to re-flavor. (For example: a vulture if you came from the desert, rather than an eagle.

Note: Your mask doesn't have to match the spirit you choose. You can have an eagle mask and have the benefits of a wolf spirit.

Bull Spirit

Having experienced the unpredictability of a bull's rampage, it has motivated you to be more reckless in a fight. When you move at least 10 ft. in a straight line, you can use your attack action to push an enemy 15 ft. You gain a +5 to your shove (you still got to succeed on a shove) or to your damage roll (if you attack instead). You also count as Large size for your carrying capacity and weight that you can push, drag, and lift.  You also gain proficiency in STR (Athletics) checks.

Canine Spirit

You have taken a liking to the canine spirits and they took a liking to you, therefore, they have given you a small gift. When choosing canine spirit, you gain Darkvision for 60 ft., 10 extra ft. of movement. and proficiency in WIS (Survival) checks.

 

Eagle Spirit

Seeing how eagles attack their prey, you have learned similar tactics to implement in a fight. When choosing the eagle spirit, you can use your Dash action as a bonus action and enemies have disadvantage at opportunity attacks against you. You also gain proficiency in WIS (Perception) checks.

Shark Spirit

Unlike most people, you don't have a fear towards sharks. In fact, you have deep understanding of them, and how they are different from one another, personality wise. When choosing the shark spirit, you gain the ability to breathe underwater and you can attack underwater with no disadvantage, if the attack would normally be done with it.You also gain proficiency in CHA (Intimidation) checks.

Flora Savagery

Even flowers have ways to protect themselves.At 9th level, nature sees you as an ally, protecting your body whenever you call for its assistance. As a bonus action, this "armor" of thorns gives you 15 temporary hp and whenever someone hits you when this is up, they receive 15 piercing damage. Once an attack reduces the temporary hp to 0, this thorns go away and cannot be used until you take a short or long rest.

 

Druidic Energy

Spending your life around nature has made you become a druid in the making. At 15th level, you have a single use of Wild Shape that you regain after a short or long rest. The max CR that you can Wild Shape into is CR 1.
