Ranger
The Ranger is a survivor class in Divinity: Original Sin 2.
“A marksman with a legendary knack for self-preservation.„
Overview
[edit | edit source]The Ranger is a ranged damage preset that pairs Huntsman skills with Pyrokinetic magic. Huntsman skills provide powerful ranged attacks that benefit from high ground bonuses, while Pyrokinetic spells offer self-buffs and utility. The preset favours Finesse and Wits, and starts with a bow.
Like all classes in Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Ranger is a starting preset rather than a permanent choice. Attribute and ability points can be allocated freely on each level-up, and full respecification is available from Act Two onward via the magic mirror aboard the Lady Vengeance. Enabling the Fort Joy Magic Mirror gift bag feature also makes a mirror available in Act One.
No origin character uses this preset by default.
