Terrain Shaper

The Terrain Shaper is a ranger who has honed their connection with their favored terrain to unprecedented levels, allowing them to actively manipulate and transform the environment. These rangers use their deep knowledge and mystical affinity with the land to shape the battlefield and gain strategic advantages in their chosen terrain.

Terrain Shaping

 

• Desert - Sandstorm: As an action, you can create a sandstorm in a 20-foot radius centered on a point you can see within 60 feet. The area is heavily obscured, and creatures other than you have disadvantage on attack rolls while in the sandstorm. The sandstorm lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action.
• Forest - Entangling Vines: As an action, you can cause vines to sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square starting from a point within 60 feet. The area becomes difficult terrain, and each creature in the area when you cast this spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC equal to your spell save DC) or be restrained by the entangling vines. A creature restrained by the vines can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.
• Arctic - Frostbite: As an action, you can create a zone of intense cold in a 20-foot radius centered on a point you can see within 60 feet. Each creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC equal to your spell save DC). On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 cold damage and has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects.
• Mountain - Rockslide: As an action, you can cause a rockslide in a 20-foot radius centered on a point you can see within 60 feet. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to your spell save DC). On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
• Swamp - Bog Mire: As an action, you can create a mire of sticky mud in a 20-foot radius centered on a point you can see within 60 feet. The area becomes difficult terrain, and each creature in the area must make a Strength saving throw (DC equal to your spell save DC) or be restrained by the mud. A creature restrained by the mud can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.
