Ranger

Use Special Shots to weaken the enemy

Rangers are military personnel specializing in covert tactics, highly trained in the arts of infiltration and assassination, a Ranger learns to operate behind enemy lines, work alone for long periods of time and do his job with or without the benefit of equipment. Rangers usually serve, or have served in a military unit where they gain experience and receive special training.
Where Hunters have a reputation for being adventurers, These modern day Rangers have one for being troublemakers. That Han-Solo type personality is commonplace with these masters of the gun, and they, in time, are capable of using their weapons like parts of their own body.
They are most often encountered walking on the more sinister side of the Hunter's call. Profit is their number one reason for adventuring, though there are, of course, exceptions. Suffice to say, They are not exempt from being goody two shoes every once in a while, like their melee brawler counterparts, are very diverse and can be of any race, although Humans and Motavians are most common.
Strength is often neglected since Dexterity serves so much more purpose. The vast majority of their abilities and skills are powered by it, and they are easily capable of running on dexterity exclusively.
A Ranger in the military is motivated only by the orders of superiors and the drive to succeed. once out of military service a Ranger may think more about the appropriate use of his skills but many become mercenaries or private bodyguards. such individuals work for the highest bidder and make no pretense about loyalty. others however discover a conscience and find themselves fighting for a cause. Rangers are experts at planning and executing missions that require stealth, hard-hitting combat or both.

Prone Supported

The Ranger may use a move action to drop flat to the ground. All normal rules for being Prone apply, but any ranged weapon may be used freely with no penalty. When prone, a Ranger may double their DEX Bonus when applied to ranged attacks with rifles, and when using a rapid or burst fire weapon, they only incur a -1 cumulative penalty for each extra attack made.

Duck and Cover

The Ranger learns quickly to use any cover to his advantage. The Ranger may increase a piece of covers bonus to Defense by one step. For example, if a Ranger were hiding behind a wall to gain 1/4 cover, he is treated as having 1/2 cover. This requires a full defense action to perform, and the Ranger may take no offensive actions that turn.

Loading Mystic shots is not considered an offensive action.

Reflected Shot

As the Ranger grows in skill, she learns that a bullet can go anywhere she wants, if she fires it correctly.

At Level 7, the Ranger can fire a single bullet from a non-launcher weapon so that it bounces off objects, negating her targets cover.
This requires a move equivalent action to aim and fire. Cost: 10 CP

Stalk

At 9th level a Ranger may expend 5 control points to gain +4 to hide and +4 to Move silently for 100 rounds (10 minutes) +d6 damage on first attack after coming out of 'stalk' representing a precision surgical strike to the enemies weakness, this ability will stack with sneak attack if the character possesses it.

Blind Shot

At level 14, the Ranger's reflexes and senses become so finely developed that she doesn't even need to see where she is shooting to hit. A Ranger with Blind Shot may use a move-equivalent action to clear her mind's eye, allowing her to ignore darkness and other sensory penalties when attacking. Cost: 5 CP

Hundred Guns

At this level of ability, a Ranger becomes a walking arsenal. Personal firearms no longer count towards her weight and encumbrance limit.

Combat Specialization

As a Ranger becomes more attuned to her guns, she learns how to execute a single special shot with high speed.
One of the Rangers existing Abilities (Reflected, Blind), becomes 'Improved' which allows the Ranger as to activate as a normal attack action, no longer requiring a move-equivalent action to initiate.

[Other upgrades will be added to this list in the future]
After Combat specialization is gained a Ranger may use Combat or general feat slots to buy the upgrades not taken if they so choose.

Gun-as-hand

At this point, the Ranger's hand-eye coordination becomes superhuman. It's as though her gun is a simple extension of her body.

The Ranger gains a +2 Damage bonus with all ranged weapons.
