Ranger (Playable Class)

Ranger is one of the playable classes available in the Outer Cosmos Role-playing System first introduced in the Frontiers of Galimma rule book.

Rangers are foremost experts of survival, at home in the vast wildernesses of Galimma. They are able to find shelter from hazardous conditions, navigate perilous terrain, and scavenge food through hunting and gathering.

Roles
A Ranger is skilled in path-finding and survival in both familiar and foreign environments, utilizing knowledge of flora, fauna, and the land itself. A keen eye and senses allows them to identify details that would go unnoticed by less seasoned explorers, such as the ripeness of a berry, the subtle scent of gas in an underground tunnel, or the stability of otherwise solid footing. Experience in the untamed, uneven wilderness also gives rangers impeccable agility and sureness of foot in traversing ravines, fording rivers, scaling cliffs, spelunking caves, and navigating all manner of perilous terrain.

Rangers must also be trained in the way of the hunt, to track, trap and outwit prey in the eternal competition of survival. A ranger on the hunt must be knowledgeable, clever, swift, and sharp-witted to gain the upper hand over creatures who have lived their entire existence in the wild. Whether to down prey with a devious trap, a sharp blade, or a carefully aimed shot is up to the individual ranger, but the most successful among them use all techniques flexibly.
