Rangers are distinguished by their ability to survive in the forest
without support from cities or the industries associated with them.
When travelling alone in the wilderness for long periods of time a
ranger must rely on himself for all things, including weapons. To
this end, rangers have passed down the secret of carving special staff
weapons from one generation to the next.
A ranger staff is a special weapon that only a rangers can properly
use. Anyone else attempting to hold one will find themselves unable
to maintain their hold on the specially carved wood. During combat the
staff serves not only as a weapon of considerable power but also offers
healing to the ranger. All staffs crumble away after a time to return
the wood to the forests.
