๐Ÿน Beast Master, Revised

Children of the Dragon

The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the world.
United in focus, beast and ranger work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike. Emulating the Beast Master archetype means committing yourself to this ideal, working in partnership with an animal as its companion and friend.

There are spirits that rule over nature, protecting the wilderness from outside threats. They are stewards of forests, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and all things that fall under the domain of nature, and their power is immeasurable. Like all spirits, though, the power they can exert upon the world of the living is limited. In order to enact their will upon the material world, these spirits lend their power to very unique witches to make them strong enough to safeguard the spiritsโ€™ domains. These witches are called guardian rangers.
Guardian rangers use the spirits that preside over nature as a source for their power and magic. The nature spirits guide them, emboldening their strikes and granting them abilities that no other witch has access to. The most powerful guardians can even briefly summon these incredibly powerful nature spirits to assist them in battle, making them an immeasurable threat to whoever dares oppose the will of the wild.
It is said that when the most powerful guardian rangers die, their own spirits transform into nature spirits โ€” granting their powers to younger, more inexperienced ranger witches, perpetuating the cycle, and protecting the domain of nature across generations.


๐Ÿน Mind Reaper

Compendium of Craft and Creation

Mind Reapers are an incarnation of fear. Terrible creatures seen more often in stories told to frighten children or ancient legends than the material plane, these are predatory creatures most mortals would be right to fear, no matter what their intentions.
Some use these powers to spread fear, savoring the terror of their victims. Others use their powers to dispense what they view as justifice, stalking down and reaping only those they believe have earned such a grim fate.


๐Ÿน Specialist

Specialists are rangers that innovate their technique and equipment in equal measure. Deadly and clever, they keep their opponents guessing what is coming next.


๐Ÿน The Slayer

Children of the Dragon

Unlike the Monster Slayer, rangers with The Slayer archetype devote themselves to hunting down certain types of monsters. These pragmatic killers come from many backgrounds, and the kind of reputation they they make for themselves is often influenced by the types of creatures they relentlessly hunt down. They could be someone whose sister was murdered by goblins, or a crusader who is on a rampage to slay as many demons as they can, or even a grim vigilante who hunts down criminals. Depending on their prey, they are seen as devoted heroes or obsessed fanatics, and slayers often receive nicknames like Dragon Slayer, Goblin Slayer, Demon Slayer, or just Slayer.
Regardless of their reputation however, they are often greatly appreciated by the common folk, as they are willing to do the dirty work that most adventurers shy away from.
In a grim world where many people might not meet another sunrise due to the dangers of roaming monsters, it's the slayers whom the common folk rely on to survive.
