As with Clerics, Rangers automatically have access to all their spells once they reach a high enough level, and can freely swap which are prepared at shrines and taverns.

Spell Points: The SP values indicated with an asterisk are assumed, base on a linear 15-point increase per level, and need confirming from in-game experience.

Combat Style Feats: The ranged and melee combat style feats gained at levels 2, 6 and 11 are automatically obtained even if the ranger does not meet the usual prerequisites for these feats. In addition, the ranger does not need to wear light or no armor to use these feats. This contrasts greatly with the combat style, improved combat style, and combat style mastery rules from PnP.

Class feats

The following list contains only the ranger-specific class feats that are obtained through advancement. A ranger also gets automatically a number of other feats when leveling, as indicated in the advancement table above. See the feats list for more details on those.

Level 1

	Bow Strength (passive): This feat allows the ranger to apply their strength modifier to bow damage.
	Favored Enemy (passive): At first level a ranger can select a type of creature from the favored enemy list. Favored Enemy grants +2 to damage and +2 to the skills bluff, listen, and spot against the chosen creature type. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th) a ranger may select an additional creature type from the favored enemy list. In addition, every 5 levels, the damage bonus against favored enemies increases by 2.
	Wild Empathy (active): This feat allows the ranger to fascinate an animal as per the Hypnotism spell so that it will not attack. It can be used 3 times / rest period.
	Wilderness Lore (passive): Represents your knowledge of the wilderness.

Level 2

	Rapid Shot (passive): This feat allows you to fire ranged attacks faster and reload faster when using a ranged weapon; it affects thrown weapons, crossbows (normal and repeating), and bows; and it stacks with Quick Draw and Rapid Reload.
	Two Weapon Fighting (passive): This feat reduces the to-hit penalty when using two weapons at the same time, and increases the chance to proc an off-hand attack by 20%, bringing the total chance to 40%.

Level 3

Diehard (passive): This feat causes the ranger to automatically stabilize when they become unconscious.

Level 4

	Precise Shot (passive): Your targeted ranged attacks pass through friend and foe to strike your target (no damage will be done except to your target).
	Gain the ability to cast Ranger spells. Your effective caster level is equal to your Ranger level, contrary to PnP (thus, the starting duration for a Resist energy spell is 4 minutes). A Ranger needs a Wisdom score of at least (10 + spell level) to prepare and cast spells.

Level 5

Favored Enemy (passive): You can now select an additional creature type from the favored enemy list. In addition, the damage bonus against favored enemies increases by 2.

Level 6

Manyshot (active): This feat enables the character to fire multiple arrows with every bow attack he makes for the next 20 seconds, though each shot suffers an attack penalty.The penalty and number of arrows depend on the character's base attack bonus: +6 - +10: two arrows per attack at a -4 penalty +11 - +15: three arrows per attack at a -6 penalty +16 and up: four arrows per attack at a -8 penalty This feat does not work with crossbows of any sort, including repeating crossbows.

Improved Two Weapon Fighting (passive): This feat increases the chance to produce an off-hand attack by 20%, bringing the total chance to 60%.

Level 7

	Improved wild empathy (active): Allows the ranger to charm an animal (similar to the Charm monster spell)[official] for 5 mins.[official] It can be used 3 times / rest period with a 60 second cool down.[official] Note: Improved wild empathy can not be dispelled.
	Wilderness Lore (passive): Represents your knowledge of the wilderness.

Level 9

Evasion (passive): This feat allows the character to avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If they make a successful reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, they will instead take no damage. A helpless character does not gain the benefit of evasion. Evasion can only be used if the character is wearing light or no armor and is not heavily encumbered.

Level 10

Favored Enemy (passive): You can now select an additional creature type from the favored enemy list. In addition, the damage bonus against favored enemies increases by 2.

Level 11

	Improved Precise Shot (active): Your targeted ranged attacks pass through and potentially damage all enemies in the projectile's path.
	Greater Two Weapon Fighting (passive): This feat increases the chance to produce an off-hand attack by 20%, bringing the total chance to 80%.

Level 14

Wilderness Lore (passive): Represents your knowledge of the wilderness.

Level 15

Favored Enemy (passive): You can now select an additional creature type from the favored enemy list. In addition, the damage bonus against favored enemies increases by 2.

Level 17

Hide in Plain Sight (passive): You are a master when it comes to hiding in places others think impossible. At all times while sneaking, conditions are treated as two 'eyes' better - you can hide even in plain daylight, and it takes opponents longer to detect you.

Level 20

Favored Enemy (passive): You can now select an additional creature type from the favored enemy list. In addition, the damage bonus against favored enemies increases by 2.

Spells

See the list of Ranger spells.

Upon advancing to level 4, rangers gain the ability to tap the divine power in nature and manifest that energy in the form of spells. To cast a spell a ranger must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level.

Dungeons and Dragons Online allows ability score boosting items and spells to qualify for reaching the minimum Wisdom score for casting spells.For example, a ranger with a Wisdom score of 8 could equip a +6 Wisdom enhancing item to reach a total Wisdom score of 14 and be able to cast level 4 ranger spells.
