North Wind

Rangers who emulate this archetype draw their power from the winds that scour the arctic tundra. No matter where in the world they find themselves, these rangers always feel the bracing chill of the north wind at their backs.
Harnessing the power of the winds allows North Wind rangers to move swiftly across the battlefield while slowing or freezing their foes in place. Thrown weapons in particular become more deadly in their hands, flying with uncanny precision to strike their marks with the force of an avalanche. More powerful practitioners can call the winds themselves to scour the battlefield or immobilize their foes with bonds of ice.

Martial Maneveurs

You have trained in the manner of heroes from the old sagas, and now you can perform certain martial maneuvers. A maneuver requires you to spend maneuver points to use it. You know three maneuvers of your choice from the list below. You learn additional maneuvers at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Each time you learn a maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one you can learn.

Channeling the heroes from the old sagas is no easy task, and your pool of maneuver points represents the limit of your abilities to do so. Your class level determines the number of maneuver points you have. You regain all spent maneuver points at the end of a long rest.
Your ranger magic can bolster your capacity to use maneuvers. As a bonus action, you can expend one ranger spell slot to gain additional maneuver points. You can convert ranger spell slots you have into maneuver points. These additional points are lost if unused after a long rest.
1st-3rd level Spell Slots become 2 Maneuver Points while 4th-5th become 3.

You can use one maneuver during each turn. Some maneuvers require concentration, as if concentrating on a spell, or certain conditions to use. Some maneuvers will require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects
Martial Maneuver save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Aeolian Sentinel (1 point)

If they fail the save by 5 or more, the ice restrains them instead.

Mistral Stance

At 3rd level, your knowledge of the Saga of the North Wind has allowed you to develop a battle stance chosen from the list below. When you roll initiative, you can choose to enter one stance that you know. You can also change between stances you know as a bonus action.
You gain an additional stance when you reach 7th level in this class, another when you reach 11th level, and a fourth at 15th level.

Aeolian Leap

You crouch low to the ground and prepare to leap out of the way of incoming attacks. While in this stance, whenever a creature misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to take cold damage equal to your proficiency bonus, and you can move up to 5 feet in any direction.
At 15th level, you can move up to 10 feet in any direction and this movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

Blizzard Cloak

You cloak yourself in the swirling flakes that reshape the snow-covered land. When a creature within 30 feet targets you with a weapon attack while you’re in this stance, you can use your reaction to send a gust of snow-laden wind towards them. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Martial Maneuver save DC or have disadvantage on attack rolls until the start of their next turn.
At 15th level, the creature is instead blinded until the start of its next turn if it fails the save

Mistral Ward

You call upon the icy winds of the tundra to ward away heat. While in this stance, you have resistance to fire damage.
At 15th level, whenever you take fire damage, you can use your reaction to gain immunity to fire damage until the start of your next turn.

Zephyr Dance

You rest your weight on your tiptoes and feel the wind gather beneath you. While in this stance, opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage.
At 15th level, you can make a melee weapon attack as a reaction against a creature that misses you with an opportunity attack. If your attack hits, that creature’s speed is reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn.

Seek the Horizon

At 3rd level, you learn some of the tricks associated with your saga’s hero. As an action, you can touch a melee weapon with the Thrown property and whisper an ancient traveler’s prayer, doubling that weapon’s range. This effect lasts for 10 minutes or until you use this feature again.

One with the Wind

When you reach 7th level, your affinity with the strong winds of the north has inured you to their effects. You ignore all penalties for being in an area of strong winds and cannot be pushed or knocked prone except through magical means, and you have advantage on saving throws against being pushed or knocked prone by magic

Bouncing Throw

At 11th level, your mastery of throwing weapons allows you to perform seemingly impossible feats. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack using a weapon with the Thrown property, you may immediately make a second attack against another target within 10 feet of the first with the same weapon. This attack uses the same modifiers as the original attack and, if the second attack hits, the weapon flies back to your hand at the end of your turn.

Call the North Wind

When you reach 15th level, you can summon the chill winds of the far north to your side. As an action, you may cause strong winds to swirl around you out to a distance of 120 feet for up to 10 minutes.
While the winds persist, once per turn when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may spend 2 maneuver points to deal an extra 2d6 cold damage to that creature. The target must then succeed on a Constitution save against your Martial Maneuver save DC or have its speed halved until the start of your next turn. If the creature fails the save by 5 or more, it is restrained until the start of your next turn instead.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
