What a nice subclass. The knowlodge of forest medicin and posions with the ranger makes total sense. And the conditions without save are amazing! As always thanks for the good work guys!
I can see a Ranger with this subclass going from one city to another buying medicine for their party, and converting that into its poisons. Because the difference between medicine and poison is the dosage.

Another fantastic subclass. This really makes a ranged Ranger super deadly. Especially being able to reduce their movement to 0, that's just brutal. This might be the best damage subclass for a Ranger, at least over time.
This is my kind of sub-class. I've always wanted a well functioning "poisoning" build. As for creatures that are immune to Acid & Poison, I found one ( however, I'm not a Dm so my knowledge on creatures is limited) - The Clay Golem.
So I am super interested in this as someone who saw a poison ranger used in my first D&D campaign and thought that it was kinda crazy how much dmg they could put out with just adding poison....buuuut later finding how much anti poison dmg there is out there is made it really hard for me to pursue a poison build w/o heavy DM buy in. This one the other hand gives us that ability to play poison and not be useless against those anti poison enemies. Also I like the idea of DMs striping the envenom and toxic mechanics of the class and allowing players to utilize the mechanics if they were poison specialists allowing those who don't want to play ranger the ability to add this to other build ideas.
I like this idea alot. Played a level 10 wildfire druid who mixed up various plants and made aromatics to spread around the battle field using gust. So this is definitely that kinda of flavor and I like that concept tons.
it says spend a spell slot at no point does it say ranger spell slot, so something like warlock, druid, cleric who get more slots would be a good pairing for this .i did green reaper ranger 5, and druid of spores so a good melee ranger.
As long as it's an open table and Anything Goes, I would play this character as a bodyguard to the wizard and then at the level nine I would multi-class into Spore Circle druid.
@@DrAndrewJBlack It would be a defensive build that is designed to protect Mages. Once this character reaches level nine they would start multi-classing into druid, because then they would be guarding two or more Mages at a time. This character would only need to take their Druid levels to eight, meaning that they would still be able to get four more levels of Ranger.
@@DrAndrewJBlack also at my table we play lawful good. Restraining and incarcerating combatants wins encounters far faster than just dealing lethal damage. Flat out killing the enemy is needed sometimes, because you would not put a zombie on trial for their crimes. Imagine the primary objective is infiltrating the underdark to capture a drow Priestess without alerting her followers.
The 4th level flesh eating toxin does 2d6 acid at the start of each of the enemies turns while it’s poisoned but lasts only until the end of the casters next turn so it happens once. That’s 2d6 damage for a 4th level slot. Seems like it’s missing something that extends its duration like the level 3 spell slot abilities have?
Ranger and the word range are not linked they are false friend. They may sound the same but it would be the equivalent of saying dragon should drag ennemies.
there are 18 creatures with resistance to acid and 15 with immunity, for poison its 5 resistant, 102 immune, so you are right acid is better most of the time, oh this is for base monster manual btw
Gonna be that guy. Most oozes and Black Dragons are resistant or immune to Acid and are normally effected by Poison damage ❤️
Lol I didn't have to scroll far.

Difference from poison to medicine is dosage.
Im dying lmao
U so right lol
Renata glasc will remember that.
To quote Assassin's Creed 2's Leonardo Da Vinci " in high enough dosage. that which cures can kill.

Thanks for doing this, nice to be able to get some proper opinion on these : D

Green Reaper Ranger
When your local 'herb' dealer is not to be trusted

You can use another class spell slots, not jus ranger spell slots, they dont specify on the class, so its great class to multiclass.
I caught that too.
Definitely opens some things up
As long as it's an open table and Anything Goes, I would play this character as a bodyguard to the wizard and then at the level nine I would multi-class into Spore Circle druid.
And miss out on the Level 11 Ranger’s Feature … Would you explain why you’d want to go Circle of Spores Druid multiclass?

Now we just need red, blue, pink, and yellow reaper subclasses
And with their powers combined they will create CAPTAIN POLLUTION!
This is a good ranger subclass.
