Arcane Wanderer

An arcane wanderer is a ranger with arcane magic instead of divine magic. Typically they are the children of sorcerers, who lack the sheer magical skills of their parent, and chose a different path in life.

Class: Ranger

Level: 1st–20th

Replaces: Track, Spellcasting (Altered), Hunter's Bond (Altered), Swift Tracker

Benefit: An arcane wanderer gain access to the following class features:

Skills: An arcane wanderer adds Knowledge (Arcana) to her list of ranger’s class skills instead of Handle Animal skill.

Charismatic Blood (Ex): An arcane wanderer uses their Charisma instead of their Wisdom for all ranger class features, including those gained by archetypes.

Minor Spellcasting (Sp): An arcane wanderer chooses two sorcerer/wizard spells of 0th level, she may cast those spells as spell-like abilities at-will.

This ability replaces track.

Arcane Bond (Su): An arcane wanderer may select an arcane bond class feature, as a arcane bloodline sorcerer of her ranger's class level, instead of an animal companion when she gain hunter's bond at 4th level.

This ability alters hunter's bond, but does not prevent the ranger from trading hunter's bond for another archetype.

Spellcasting: A 4th level arcane wanderer is a spontaneous arcane spellcaster, instead of a divine spellcaster spellcasting. She draws her spells both from bard and the sorcerer/wizard spell list. The arcane wanderer has the same amount of spell known as a bloodrager of her class level and uses her Charisma as her key spellcasting ability score.

An arcane wanderer can cast arcane wanderer spells while wearing light armor or medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. This does not affect the arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. Like other arcane spellcasters, an arcane wanderer wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has somatic components.

This ability alters spellcasting.

Arcane Mastery (Ex): At 8th level, the arcane wanderer gains an extra spell per day for each level she is capable of casting and the DCs of all of her arcane wanderer’s spells increases by 1.

This ability replaces swift tracker.
