This is a Ranger conclave for 5A.

Horizon walkers guard the world against threats that originate from other planes or that seek to ravage the mortal realm with otherworldly magic. They seek out planar portals and keep watch over them, venturing to the Inner Planes and the Outer Planes as needed to pursue their foes. These rangers are also friends to any forces in the multiverse – especially benevolent dragons, fey, and elementals – that work to preserve life and the order of the planes.

Detect Portal

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to magically sense the presence of a planar portal. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to the closest planar portal within 1 mile of you. You can also detect minor portals to other planes, like those created by the spells Rope Trick, Teleportation Circle, and Demiplane within 300 feet. See the "Planar Travel" section in chapter 2 of the Dungeon Master's Guide for examples of planar portals.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

You also become skilled in Arcana. When rolling lore checks about the plane you are on at the moment, you can use Wisdom rather than Intelligence. If you already know Arcana, you learn Religion instead. If you already know Religion, you learn any one skill of your choice.

Planar Warrior

As a bonus action, Once per turn when you take the Attack action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you.

When you reach 11th level in this class, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Ethereal Step

Distant Strike

If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack with it against a third creature.

Spectral Defense

Editor's Notes

Horizon Walker needs a power-up.

  • Detect Portal got a minor enhancement in that it can now detect some spell effects. You also learn Arcana, and can use Lore checks with Wisdom rather than Intelligence. The later ability is useful on prime with the Nature skill.
  • Planar Warrior no longer takes a bonus action.
  • Ethereal Step lasts until the start of your next turn, giving you one round of practical invulnerability. You also gain additional uses at high levels.
