Compiled Proficiencies
Table 55 lists all of the nonweapon proficiencies normally available to the
ranger, which includes all of the proficiencies associated with the warrior,
wizard, and general groups. Rangers may also acquire proficiencies from the priest
and rogue groups described in Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook, but at a cost of one additional proficiency slot above the listed number.
Bold-faced entries are new proficiencies described in this chapter.
Italicized entries require the player to select a specific area of specialization. For
instance, a ranger proficient in artistic ability must specialize in one
particular art form, such as painting, sculpture, or origami. Spending another slot on
this proficiency allows him to improve an already chosen art form, or to pick
another one.
Entries marked with an asterisk (*) are proficiencies with special
applications for rangers, explained in the Clarifications and Modifications section.
