Sure Shot
If the Ranger rolls all skulls on the attack die then the enemie gets one less defend dice. If the monster only has one defend die then he may not defend himself. This skill only works when shooting bows.
Venom Arrow
If the Ranger lands at least one skull on his attack dice then it automaticly inflicts one additinal wound. The ranger may only do this once per battle.
Flame Arrow
The Ranger may roll two additional attack dice. Doing this takes one additional round to light the arrow. This may only be used 8 times a quest.
Frozen Arrow
The Ranger was tought a little of the aracane arts of magic. Through the teachings the Ranger learned how to summon forth the cold of the winters. Using this arrow the Ranger may freeze the enemy for one round. The frozen enemy may not move or attack on its next turn.
Harpoon Arrow
The Ranger uses one of his more unorthodox methods. He ties a string to his arrow and shoots it at his enemy. Roll one red die. On a 4-6 you hit, but you must roll another red die. On a 5 or 6 the Ranger has flung the monster against the closest wall. Roll the normal attack dice for the bow, and +2 more if the monster hits the wall. The monster may roll its normal defense dice. This
may be used 10 times a quest.
Earth Shaking
The Ranger summons the thunderous powers of the heavens to shove his enemy. When the Monster is hit it sends him back as far as he (it) can go. The attack sends the enemy flying into a wall, knocking the enemy unconsious. Follow the same profile as the Sleep Spell. This may only be used 5 times a quest.
Guided Arrow
Plain and Simple the arrow is guided to enemies that the Hero cannot see. The arrow may turn corners, go through doors, and go through occupied squares. The arrow does no additional damage. This may be used with Venom, Cold, Fire, and Nova arrows.
Nova Arrow
The Ranger picks one square. All Squares adjecent including itself are filled with electric energy. When attacking with the Nova Arrow all enemies in these squares are hit with 3 Attack dice. This may only be used 4 times a quest.
Undefined Aura
Pulling forth from himself the most holy of energies, the Ranger creates a "shield" around himself. This aura makes him imperveous to all Chaos Spells, and adds one defense die to his rolls. This Aura only lasts for six rounds. It must be announce during your turn - it cannot be used when an attack is made on you. This may only be used 3 times a quest.
Horadric Blast
The Ranger summons forth the fire of Hell against its own. The Ranger casts a Ball of Flame (like the Fire Spell) that does 3 damage instead of two.
True Grit
The Ranger is tough. With this skill the Ranger has the ability to carry two crossbows. Doing so counts as having the attack dice of two crossbows.
True Grit (2)
The Ranger is the toughest of the tough. The Ranger may carry two single handed weapons. Both weapons attack together. The Hero should roll the total of both weapons against his enemies.
