Changes

Any hand-to-hand or melee attacks can be blocked or parried away instead of using a standard dodge rollAC, called “defend”. On natural 19 or 20 the Ranger gets an attack of opportunity, that either MUST be an empty-handed strike (if their ranged weapon is equipped) as 1d4+DEX Modifier, or a full-strength blunt strike with their quarterstaff or baton (1d6+DEX Modifier) if it is equipped. At level 10, the defend roll can be 18, 19, or 20 for the attack of opportunity.
