 About Servius Acinon VenatorRace Makhor (Acinonyxan)
Init +3 (advantage); Senses: Darkvision; Passive Perception: 13 Background:
Servius volunteered to join the 7th pride when he came of age, wishing to serve the Empire to the best of his ability. However, he is more free-spirited than the average Makhor, and he chafed at the strict rules and regulations that the army possessed. Wishing to be free from being watched over every minute of every day, during training he requested to be taught how to better be a scout for the army. This request was accepted due to his natural ability to move quickly and silently across many different types of terrain. These skills were further enhanced during his training, where he also trained to use the majority of weapons, focusing on the longbow. It was also during this time that he met Tiberius Acinon Cecilianus, who would become his closest friend. Tiberius had trained to focus more on melee combat, mainly dual-wielding a rapier and shortsword.
Once the two of them finished their training, they were assigned to the same cohort in the legion. Due to the extent to which they complemented each other, they were often sent out scouting as a two-person team, especially on long-range missions. It was on one of these missions where Servius' life changed. As they traveled through a small wooded ravine, they were ambushed by a small band of Human and Meerk warriors. Servius does not remember much of what occurred, as he was hit on the back of his head early in the fight, causing him to black out. Once he regained consciousness, he saw that the majority of the enemy had been slain. However, as he looked around, he also noticed that Tiberius had not escaped the battle unharmed. Approaching his friend, he saw that Tiberius had been brutally stabbed in the gut several times, and was too weak to move on his own. They were several days travel away from either the main force of the army or the nearest friendly town, and they both knew that TIberius would not be able to survive the journey. Making a dying request of his friend, Tiberius asked Servius to end his life quickly, so that he would not suffer as much. Taking his companions sword, Servius did as his friend asked, knowing that it would go against his honor if he did not. Returning to the army in shame, Servius brought back his friends body in order for him to receive a proper burial. Not long after, Servius left the army, not wishing to see any other friends die.

If you hit with a claw, the target takes slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (these claws count as having the light and finesse weapon qualities) . Hunter of Prey: Your feral instincts make you well suited for stalking prey, and grant you proficiency in Perception and Stealth. Pounce: If you move at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack (including your claws) on the same turn, roll the weapon’s damage dice twice and add them together. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Quadruped: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag. Burst of Speed: Your base walking speed increases by 10 feet.

Spells Known
The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier: your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Primeval Awareness: Beginning at 3rd level, you have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack. You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes. Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 5 miles of you. This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures' general direction and distance (in miles) from you. If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group. Ranger Conclave: (Hunter) At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, and 15th level. Hunter's Prey: At 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. * Colossus Slayer: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage if it's below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra damage only once per turn. Military Rank: You have a military rank from your career as a soldier. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other soldiers and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized. SPELLCASTING
