differently than people who band together in walled
cities do, these characters nonetheless make formidable
opponents. This book examines the masters of the wild
in detail and provides you with new tools that you can
use to maximize their adventuring potential.

is still predominantly a natural one. Animals, plants, and
weather patterns form the basis of its ecology, and the
strength of nature is never in doubt. The characters who
most closely embrace this wild, natural world are fully
equipped to deal with its down-to-earth realities. These
characters aren’t consumed in far-flung extraplanar ex-
periments, worship of distant immortal deities, or ab-
stract systems of ethics. They don’t withdraw from the
natural world into monasteries or cities. Druids, rangers,
and barbarians belong to their world in a way that no
other characters can. The barbarian fills his existence
with a zest for living and possesses indomitable strength.
The ranger combines knowledge of nature with mystical
grace. The druid welcomes into herself all the wonders of
land, sea, and sky.
Despite their power, these “masters of the wild” are at
heart humble people. Because they adapt to their world
and seek to protect it, fools may consider them weaker
than warlords and rulers who force their wills upon the
land. While barbarians, druids, and rangers approach life

game. You’ll find new
feats, spells, and prestige classes, as well as useful advice
for getting the most out of your barbarian, druid, or
ranger character.
Nothing here supersedes or replaces the rules and in-

This book presents options, not restrictions, for play-
ing the D&D® game. However, players should ask their
Dungeon Masters (DMs) about incorporating elements
of this book before making changes to their characters.
DMs can also make good use of the new feats, spells, and
prestige classes presented here for designing nonplayer
characters. Use what you wish and change or ignore the
rest. Have at it, and enjoy!

This book’s primary goal is to help you customize your
barbarian, druid, or ranger player character. With the ma-
terial presented here, you can personalize your character
and broaden his or her capabilities.
Chapter 1 discusses the advantages of playing a bar-
barian, druid, or ranger. Here you’ll find advice on how to
take advantage of your character’s class abilities and min-
imize any potential weaknesses. Explanations of, advice
on, and expansions to topics that are already part of the
game, such as choosing favored enemies are also here.
Chapter 2 offers special feats, such as Fast
Wild Shape
and Dragon’s Toughness, with which to enhance your
character’s abilities. In addition, there is an extensive dis-
cussion of skills, with notes on new and interesting uses
of class skills for barbarians, druids, and rangers.
Chapter 3 presents items of interest to both spellcast-
ing and nonspellcasting characters.
Chapter 4 offers advice on how to play alongside
animal companions. It also includes statistics for new
dire animals as well as for members of a new subtype of
animal—legendary animals.
Chapter 5 takes your character in exciting new direc-
tions with the animal lord, the blighter, the frenzied
berserker, and many other prestige classes.
Chapter 6 expands the selection of divine spells avail-
able at all spell levels.
