Legends tell that the most ancient and bloodthirsty terrors lurk deep within the old places of the earth. Hollow Wardens venerate and draw power from such beings, transforming themselves into merciless and monstrous guardians that stalk jagged coastlines, steep mountain crags, and other dark and wild places.

Level 3 Wrath of the Wild:

You draw power from the strange and ancient horrors of the land, causing you to sprout unnatural growths, such as bloody antlers or putrid fangs, or causing your shadow to lengthen or twist around you. As a Bonus Action, you can expend a use of Favored Enemy to transform into a ghastly form, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute or until you are Incapacitated, die, or end the transformation (no action required).

Ancient Armor. You gain a +1 bonus to AC, as your body is wreathed in rotten bark and beastly bristles. This bonus increases to +2 when you reach level 11.

Prowling Retribution. Immediately after a creature you can see within 5 feet of yourself deals damage to you or one of your allies, you can make an Opportunity Attack against that creature.

Unnerving Aura. When you transform and at the start of each of your subsequent turns, each creature of your choice in a 10-foot Emanation originating from you makes a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature is Frightened until the start of your next turn.

Level 7 Hungering Might:

You gain a bonus to Constitution saving throws equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

In addition, once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll while you are transformed using Wrath of the Wild, you regain a number of Hit Points equal to 1d10 plus your Wisdom modifier, provided you are Bloodied when you hit.

Level 11 Rot and Violence:

Your dedication to wild eldritch beings alters you further. When transformed using Wrath of the Wild, you gain the following additional benefits.

Menacing Aura. When a creature fails its saving throw against Unnerving Aura, it also can't regain Hit Points or take Reactions until the start of your next turn.

Persistent Wrath. If you're reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright while transformed using Wrath of the Wild, you can surge with wild power. Your Hit Points instead change to a number equal to twice your Ranger level. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also expend a level 4+ spell slot (no action required) to restore your use of this feature.

Winter Walkers hone their craft in the bleak and frozen wilds of places like Icewind Dale. These ruthless, rimed Rangers hunt monsters that haunt arctic wastelands, eventually becoming frigid terrors themselves. Winter Walkers are well versed in the phenomena of Icewind Dale, including the latent magic of fallen Netherese cities, endemic monsters like Yetis and Crag Cats, and the rising threat of Underdark invaders. Due to their cold pragmatism, terrifying magic, and mastery of the region, Winter Walkers are regarded with equal parts respect and fear. Ten-Towns citizens say that Winter Walkers' frequent exposure to malignant entities gives them their fearsome powers. Many Reghed nomads, on the other hand, believe that nature spirits bestow on Winter Walkers a unique curse.

Level 3 Frigid Explorer: You gain the following benefits.

Biting Cold. Damage from your weapon attacks, Ranger spells, and Ranger features ignores Resistance to Cold damage.

Frost Resistance. You have Resistance to Cold damage.

Polar Strikes. When you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d4 Cold damage to the target, which can take this extra damage only once per turn. When you reach level 11, this extra damage increases to 1d6.

Level 3 Hunter's Rime: Ice rimes you and your prey, protecting you and slowing them. When you cast Hunter's Mark, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d10 plus your Ranger level.

Additionally, while a creature is marked by Hunter's Mark, it can't take the Disengage action.

Level 7 Fortifying Soul: Your experience surviving harrowing environments allows you to bolster your allies in addition to yourself. As a Magic action, choose a number of creatures you can see equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one). Each chosen creature regains Hit Points equal to 1d10 plus your Ranger level and has Advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the Frightened condition for 1 hour.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Level 11 Chilling Retribution: When a creature hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target has the Stunned condition until the end of your next turn. While the target is Stunned, its Speed is reduced to 0 feet.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Frozen Soul. You have Immunity to Cold damage. When you first adopt this form and at the start of each of your subsequent turns, each creature of your choice in a 15-foot Emanation originating from you takes 2d4 Cold damage.

Partially Incorporeal. You have Immunity to being Grappled, Prone, and Restrained. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were Difficult Terrain, but you take 1d10 Force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object. If the form ends while you are inside a creature or an object, you are shunted to the nearest unoccupied space.
