He can use a bonus action to expend a use of this feature and focus his awareness on the region around him. For 1 minute per ranger level, he can sense whether the following creature types are present within 1 mile, or within up to 6 miles in his favored terrain: aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. This feature does not reveal the creatures' location or number.

He marks a creature he can see as his quarry, surrounding it with faint icy-blue sigils. Until the spell ends, he deals an extra 1d6 damage whenever he hits the target with an attack, and he has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) checks made to find it.

He fires a shimmering shaft that deals 1d8 piercing damage plus 1d6 cold damage on a hit. The next attack roll against the target before the end of his next turn has advantage.

He makes two attacks with his longbow or shortsword, or three attacks on the first turn of combat when Dread Ambusher applies.

He has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track favored enemies and on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. His favored enemies are monstrosities and undead, and his chosen language for studying them is Giant.

He is especially familiar with arctic terrain. In this favored terrain, difficult terrain does not slow his group's travel, his group cannot become lost except by magical means, he remains alert to danger while engaged in other activities, he can move stealthily at a normal pace when traveling alone, and when foraging he finds twice as much food as normal. He also gains these benefits in one additional terrain, forest, which he selected while training with his mother's surveyors.

He chose Archery, gaining a +2 bonus to attack rolls he makes with ranged weapons.

He is a half-caster and can cast ranger spells using Wisdom as his spellcasting ability. He knows four ranger spells and regains expended spell slots after a long rest.

On the first turn of each combat, his walking speed increases by 10 feet, and if he takes the Attack action on that turn, he can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If the additional attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's type.

He has darkvision out to 60 feet. He is also adept at evading creatures that rely on darkvision. When he is in darkness, he is invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see him in that darkness.

He can attack twice, instead of once, whenever he takes the Attack action on his turn.

He gained a +2 increase to Dexterity, raising it to 16.

He has an excellent memory for maps and geography, and can find food and fresh water for himself and up to five other people each day, provided the land offers anything to find.
