Base Class: Ranger
The Order of The Knight-Ranger was founded by an Oathbreaker named Morlet von Pierre, a paladin who was exiled and stripped of his oath for making an impossible choice.... During Morlet Von Pierre's time as an exile he began to embrace the elements of nature, turned once more to his gods asking for guidance, but most importantly pledged his life once more to Chivalry. As a result of his deep mediations on both divine and druidic ways he was able to intertwine the two and through his years of stalking the forest creatures he was able to create a new way of hunting the fiendish creatures that once destroyed his life...

Posted Jan 25, 2025This seems really cool of an Idea since its like a ranger paladin mix, really cool idea I'd say it needs a flavor added about it as like a description for it though, over all. Good idea.
