Advancement table
Note that in order to be able to cast spells at 4th level, you need bonus spell points gained from a Wisdom of at least 12.

Important: the feats Rapid shot, Two-weapon fighting (at level 2) and Manyshot, Improved two-weapon fighting (at level 6) are automatically gained 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 and improved combat style rules from PnP.
