Role

The Ranger

The Ranger closes their eyes and places their hand on a tree trunk, learning the secrets of the forest. They stop to chat with a local squirrel, making a new friend. They speak myth, earning the favor of strangers.
The Ranger is a great choice for people who want to play a skilled hunter and survivalist who thrives on the fringes of civilization.

Ability Showcase

The Ranger is a well-known character in fantasy, but in Quest you’ll find it has more than just skill with speed, sense, and sword. Between their ability to enter the body of their animal partner and rouse common folk with story and song, Quest’s Ranger role is a powerful take on the classic form.
