Ranger (Professions Help)

Rangers are masters of the primeval forest, able to take advantage of and live off the wilderness. Those who have chosen the ranger's lifestyle, from Beren to the modern Rangers of the North, forsake civilization to develop their senses and to study talents that are considered lost by the rest of society. They have studied the healing powers of herb-lore and trekked across the land exploring all that nature has constructed. No-one can lead a group through the wilderness more effectively than a ranger.

Rangers are able to wield brands and torches as effective weapons, and their sight is more acute than that of most people. They have no equal in the arts of tracking and trapping. Training in many different aspects of combat shapes them into excellent fighters. With this extraordinary range of abilities - offensive, defensive, and supportive - the rangers are excellent allies and formidable foes.
