The Submariner
Subclass of: Ranger
The Mariner is a Ranger subclass for those who hear the siren call of the sea and dedicate themselves to its mysterious depths. Mariner Rangers are often seen as rugged or solitary figures, finding solace in the vast, open ocean rather than on land. Whether patrolling the coastal waters near bustling ports or delving into the abyssal trenches to protect the myriad forms of life dwelling there, Mariners are guardians of the seas. Their unique connection to aquatic environments is reflected in their abilities, such as gaining a swimming speed equal to their walking speed, breathing underwater, and even conjuring arrows from water to use as ammunition. With an expanded arsenal that includes spells like create or destroy water and conjure elemental (water elemental only), they are adept at both exploration and combat beneath the waves. Their mastery over aquatic currents allows them to manipulate water to their advantage, pushing and damaging foes with the force of the ocean itself. By the time they reach the pinnacle of their training, Mariners embody the apex predator of the waters, striking with deadly precision and embodying the relentless force of the ocean's depths.Â
Rangers can be found in all parts of the world, but those who gravitate towards the call of the sea often join the Submariner conclave. These rangers may oftentimes be seen as grizzled or reclusive, preferring the solitude of the oceans,. Many become submariners for the sake of protecting the vast expanse of life that can be found below the sea. Some submariners can be found patrolling the waters near busy shipping ports and cities, and as such spend time both in and out of the water, while others spend almost all of their time deep in the sea, watching over the trenches and deep sea species and colonies.
