Welcome back to the next installment of the Equipment Pack series. I’ve decided to skip the Paladin and go straight to the Ranger Pack for a couple of reasons. First, I haven’t decided I want to do an equipment pack for the Paladin or just say that they would have the option of either choosing a Priest Pack or Fighter Pack. Second, I’ve decided to try something new with the packs. Certain items found in the packs will give actual bonuses to certain abilities, and the Ranger Pack was one that had equipment I’ve been thinking about for a while.

That said, the packs will be more expensive than the ones found in the PHB. If you are going to have the potential to gain even a +1 to an ability check, there needs to be a cost associated with it. For example, a player should be forced to decide between buying an expensive pack that contains equipment that provides bonuses or spending their gold on a shield to get the +2 to AC. A bonus at 1st level makes no sense unless there is a “penalty” of some sort attached to it.

So let’s get to it. This is where I usually give the disclaimer that these packs are for flavor and not meant to be anything mind-blowing. Well, this certainly isn’t anything mind-blowing, but hopefully, something to add to your game. As always, feedback is appreciated!
