It’s not easy being green, and, even more than druids, rangers suffer from a split personality in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Somewhere between fighters and druids, with more than a dash of rogue, it can sometimes be hard to say what being a ranger is all about, other than that they’re in touch with the wilderness…except, of course, when they happen to be bounty hunters, trappers, or just plain expert archers.
A Necromancer’s Grimoire: Bounty of the Ranger is a celebration of the ranger class. From prestige classes, to archetypes, to new feats, there’s something in here for everyone, whether you have a ranger character or not (and by the time we’re done, you’ll certainly want one). Here are just a few things you’ll find:
The ace marksman prestige class, which specializes in archery and produces incredibly accurate, deadly archers.
The inexorable stalker prestige class, members of which can find anyone, anywhere, and even follow tracks through a teleport or planeshift spell.
The landbond shifter, who leaves humanity behind to become an animal permanently, but shifts from one species to the next depending on where he roams.
The pack lord archetype for rangers, which grants an entire pack of animal companions.
The greenstalker sniper archetype for rangers, a ranged specialist that focuses on careful aim and well-planned ambushes.
The nature’s voice archetype for rangers, which strikes a closer balance between martial prowess and spellcasting ability.
The twin blade marauder archetype for rangers, whose members are capable of doing things with two weapons that others can only dream of.
Five new archetypes for “ranger-adjacent” classes such as fighter, druid, and rogue, which help them get a taste of being a ranger.
25 new feats for characters of all types, including new feats for a wide variety of ranger combat styles.

Quick question about the Greenstalker Sniper Archetype for the ranger.
You replace almost everything in the ranger class with archery related things including favored terrain.
but you keep camouflage and hide in plain sight.
both of which only work in your favored terrains... so the question is, how are they supposed to work?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've updated the files for the book, and the new version should be available as soon as it gets approved by the Paizo staff. In the meantime, the short answer is that the ranger still selects favored terrains as normal, he just doesn't gain any benefits from doing so other than for his camouflage and hide in plain sight class features.
