Ranger Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Ranger Point Buy specifically is designed to cater to a jack of all trades ranged fighter, using bows or firearms. Ranger Point Buy is a Locked Ability Category, meaning that the Abilities can only be used while the Character is presently in the appropriate Stance: Ranger Stance. Ranger Stance is granted for free as soon as any Ranger Point Buy Packs are chosen.

Ability Aesthetics

Ranger Point Buy operates under "Open Aesthetics" rules. What this means is, Ranger Point Buy can be freely used with the following guidelines and suggestions: bows, crossbows, throwing weapons, the use of familiars and pets, etc. This list is mostly comprehensive, but we accept suggestions for additions, within reason to the setting. Alternatively, this Proficiency can be re-flavored as Magic. This Aesthetic Flavor has no effect on Ability functionality, but might alter if your Character is considered Occult or not. You decide when you use the Ability if it is Magic or not, and can choose to use it as Non-Magic, but you cannot choose in the moment if your Character is Occult or not Occult.

Stance Ability

The Ranger Stance Stance Ability is required for all Ranger Point Buy Abilities. This Ability is granted for free for any Ranger Point Buy Pack chosen. Stances cannot be Staggered. Please note, if your character has this Stance Ability, they cannot acquire any other Stance Abilities, regardless of their source.
