Street Rat Conclave

Many that Choose the life of the ranger prefer its free-spirited lifestyle, surviving in the wilderness, traversing underground depths, or journeying through countless planes of existence. Some rangers instead choose a different path, favoring the hustle and bustle of city life. Street rats are as familiar with the shady back alleys and the seedy underbellies of the city as they are with the frivolous galas and receptions of aristocrats and nobles. Usually living morally ambiguous lives, operating off mantras such as "steal from the rich to give to the poor", or "all for one, one for all" these rangers live in the gray as much as they live in the shadows.

Lost in a Crowd

You are an expert in hiding in plain sight in crowded places. On your turn, you can take the Hide action as a bonus action when you are adjacent to two or more creatures, ducking behind or between them to hide.

Urban Ally

When you choose this conclave, you form a bond with a rat and it becomes your companion.

Add your proficiency bonus to the rat's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your ranger level, whichever is higher. Like any creature, the ally can spend Hit Dice during a short rest.

The urban ally takes its turn on your initiative, and obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it. You can issue a command as a bonus action. If you don't issue any commands to the ally, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If you are incapacitated or absent, the urban ally acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself. The ally never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.

You can end the bond between your urban ally and yourself as an action, releasing it back into the streets. In the event an urban ally dies, you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or gain 3 levels of exhaustion. The DC for the saving throw is 8 + your ranger level + your proficiency bonus. When you are without an urban ally, you can spend 8 hours meditation over another rat, as your spirits link together and form a new bond
