Overview

   The ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® 2nd Edition Player's Handbook and DUNGEON MASTER® Guide contain all the basic information you need to create and play ranger characters. But for players wanting to go a bit deeper, The Complete Ranger's Handbook provides a wealth of detail that expands on that basic information, adding more options and rules to make your rangers come alive like never before.

   For instance, we'll examine the ranger's talents for tracking, animal empathy, and nature lore, suggesting methods for using these abilities in ways you might not have considered. If you've wondered what a ranger does with his followers or exactly how he acquires them, you'll find the answers here. If you're tired of playing ordinary rangers, there's more than a dozen new character kits for your perusal, including the Giant Killer, the Pathfinder, and the Stalker. There are also plenty of new spells, proficiencies, and equipment to expand your ranger's horizons. Use what you like and ignore what you don't.

   Though much of this material will be of interest to the Dungeon Master, particularly the clarification of old concepts and the introduction of new rules, The Complete Ranger's Handbook is a supplement to the Player's Handbook. Every word is intended for the players. Note, however, that all of material is optional, and none may be incorporated into a campaign without the express permission of the DM. These caveats aside, feel free to turn the page and enjoy.
