Wild Strider (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Wild Strider[edit]
Wild striders are specialized and dedicated rangers that focus on mastering the core aspects of the ranger's training, excelling in slaying their favored enemies, exploring wild regions and wandering unseen to their chosen hunting grounds. The life of a wild strider is usually very alone, rarely visiting civilization. No wild strider has spent more than a few years of his life in civilization, making they lack manners and presenting qualities that are usually looked down upon by city folk. Unknown to them, he makes up for it in knowledge and skill in combat.
