-The ranger is a hunter and woodsman who lives by not only his sword or bow, but also his wits. Rangers, like nature itself, can be of any alignment. Their role and outlook changes depending upon their alignment, but they all have a few things in common. They are more comfortable in the wilderness than the city, and they have a strong affinity for nature that defines them. Their spells are drawn from being one with nature itself, and as such must protect and honor the wilderness. The one view all rangers have in common is that nature itself abhors the creation and existence of undead in any form. Undead are a direct threat to the natural world, and to the essence from which the ranger draws their power, and must be destroyed. Rangers can be of all resonances, but they would never ally with those that make use of the undead.+The ranger is a hunter and woodsman who lives by not only his sword or bow but also his wits.

 Rangers can cast in any armor they can wear, but not while wielding anything. They will need the perfect caster feat to avoid harming their allies, animal companion and summoned creatures with area-affecting spells. Rangers can cast in any armor they can wear, but not while wielding anything.

 +==== Additional Roleplay considerations ====
 +Rangers are a diverse group of individuals who gain power from their connection to nature. While a ranger may not always see it as their prime directive to defend the woodlands, they must remain in tune with the wilds and respect its laws. As such, they all share a common hatred against the undead, whose mere presence harms the wilds and upsets the balance of nature. Rangers may be of any resonance, which again may influence how they view and interact with the wild.
 +
 +**Rangers of Light**\\
 +Rangers with light in their hearts are the protectors of the woodlands. They seek to warn away those who would do harm to the forest and kill out of necessity rather than desire. They often choose a particular area as their own and defend it above all others. They act out of a desire to preserve the peace found in the wilderness, and as such, they are loathe to cause harm to one of nature's creatures except in defense of their own lives and even then do so with a sense of remorse. They harbor no such reservations against unnatural creatures such as undead or abominations.
 +
 +**Rangers of Twilight**\\
 +Rangers that walk the path of twilight often follow a philosophy very similar to a druid's. They see a balance in nature that is missing from the rest of civilization, and they seek to preserve this balance. Neutral rangers often choose a particular wild place in the world, much like good rangers. They usually do not interfere with what happens there, though, and simply live in that place and learn its ways. These rangers see killing as part of nature's way, but they do not simply kill for killing's sake.
 +
 +**Rangers of Dark**\\
 +Dark-hearted rangers are spoken of, but always in whispers kept well out of the hearing of other rangers. These are the rangers who have turned aside from the role of protector and become blood-thirsty hunters instead. These rangers follow many deities but always revere the darker side of nature that produces disease, pain, and death. Such a ranger will sometimes take a particular area for its own, but in the way that a predatory cat marks out its territory. Obviously, these rangers have no qualms about killing, maiming, or torturing much of anything. They will occasionally choose a particular creature they won't kill for various reasons, but more often than not, they choose a particular creature they kill at all costs.
