The Spellbow mixes touches of arcane knowledge and magic with the traditional wilderness expertise of other rangers. These rangers are often associated with monster hunting mercenaries, or mage-hunting guilds rather than wandering the a forest, or hunting wild animals. They have an expanded spell repertoire, can gain the aid of an otherworldly creature, and can infuse their arrows with arcane energy.

Arcane Magic

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Spellbow Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
