@Kynewulf74How does Primeval Awareness work with the UA, given that it doesn’t have spell slots? not very well? should be once per short rest, 5 minutes

UA Ranger – Is Ambuscade only for the opening round?
@mikemearls Ranger's new Ambuscade ability; You gain that special turn in addition to your normal turn in the Initiative?
— John Appleton (@jaa0109) September 9, 2015
@mikemearls And if so, it's only for the opening round, correct?
— John Appleton (@jaa0109) September 9, 2015
@jaa0109 yes to both
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 9, 2015
@jaa0109For that special turn, you can ONLY make an attack or Hide? Do you also get movement and bonus action, or no? as it stands, you get movement and a bonus action on that turn

Explorers!

http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/DX_0907_UA_RangerOptions.pdf
There’s a lot of buzz about this new playtest class and I apologize if you love Monk or Sorcerer.
your humble zoltar sage
@Kynewulf74I’ve mixed opinions on the new UA as a base ranger, but it’s got a lot of good, outside-the-box ideas, and provokes discussion. the ranger is interesting case, in that its identity is at issue. hopefully will touch of a lot of interesting posts, blogs, etc

@ZackFurnissThey’re a ton of fun to throw into the weekly rotation, too. Who cares if they aren’t balanced! that's the attitude!

UA Ranger – Spirit Companion
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnDLove the new Ranger. ? though, its says spirit comp 1x a day. but resets w/ short or long rest
this gives a possible 23x a day as long as a short rest is taken. contradiction? accident?
— Charles Horikami (@CharlesHorikami) September 9, 2015
@CharlesHorikami @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD that's for the special ability granted by your path, not for the ability to summon it

UA Ranger – Ambuscade
@YetiMooseAmbuscade: If I have a bonus action attack or action surge, can I use that also with the special attack?
yes
