The ranger is one of the player classes in NetHack. Rangers can be either neutral or chaotic, and can be humans, elves, gnomes, or orcs.

Starting Equipment

Elven rangers start with racial equipment (elven dagger instead of dagger, etc.), an elven cloak instead of a cloak of displacement, and lembas wafers in the place of cram rations. Orcish rangers get orcish bow and orcish arrows but still get a cloak of displacement (presumably because a coarse mantelet would be too harsh). Chaotic rangers also have a small chance of their starting arrow stacks being generated poisoned.

Skills

Rangers can get expert in dagger, sling, dart, boomerang, javelin, bow and crossbow, and also in divination spells.
