Description

The Ranger "iconic" from Realms of Strife

realmofstrife.com/characters/c…

Often employed as way watchers and path finders, Rangers have a very unique skill that sets them on the fringe of society, more at home in the wilds than among their own kind. They are versatile fighters who excel at setting ambushes, striking with lethal force and then melting away before they can present a target. While this style of combat lends itself well to ranged weapons, Rangers are also very proficient with close combat and will not shy away crossing blades with their foe. Some rangers even receive formal military training, acting as advanced scouts, raiders, or hit-and-run units. Others go on to forge their own path, retreating from the confining walls of towns and cities, but rising to the occasion when called upon for tasks that suit their skills.

Rangers are thought of as solitary figures and indeed they operate well in this capacity, however they make invaluable allies when embarking on any adventure or quest that requires travelling through the wild places of the world. Their survival skills are unparalleled and they are capable of fulfilling almost any role in a group. Rangers themselves acknowledge the value of sharing experiences and pooling their resources to take on larger contracts. To this end, Ranger Guilds can be found throughout the Realm of Strife, both in prominent roles such as the valiant Angenway Rangers, who tirelessly patrol the underground Dwarven Highways, or operating in secret like the silent wild elf forest-wardens known as the Guardians of Athelnon.
