Ranger Traits:

Natural Explorer = Forest

You are particularly familiar with one type of natural environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions. Choose one type of favored terrain: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the Underdark. When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in.

While traveling for an hour or more in your favored terrain, you gain the following benefits:

•    Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
     Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
     Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
     If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
     When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
     While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
  

Favored Enemy

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy.
Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as favored enemies.
You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all.
You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language, at 6th and 14th level. As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of monsters you have encountered on your adventures.


Feat:   Sharpshooter

You have mastered ranged weapons and can make shots that others find impossible. You gain the following benefits:
 

•  Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.
     Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.
     Before you make an attack with a ranged weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If that attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.

Talon was raised by the bandits and highwaymen in the woods south of Kingsgate.  It was a simple, if dangerous life of crime.  

One night, after scouting for a tax collector's wagon, Talon returned to find the bandit camp had been raided.  His friends were slaughtered, though they probably all deserved worse.  The bodies were heaped in a pile and burned.  He doesn't know if any of them escaped the massacre.  

The only clue he found was a banner left as a warning.






Talon has set out to look for clues about the dragon banner....

looks like a solid lvl 1, and nice story seeds to work with
