While activated, the user must raise their hands, separated above their head and announce "Smoke Screen" every few seconds for up to 30 seconds. While this skill is active, others within melee weapon reach of the character are protected from ranged attacks from outside melee weapon range, however they can be targeted if an attacker is within melee weapon range of a protected character. Using this skill requires concentration and thus will end early if the character becomes Helpless, puts their hands down or is affected by any effect that prevents the character from taking actions.		<span id="Smoke Screen"><i>'''Smoke Screen:'''</i></span> This skill allows the character to create a field of smoke that breaks Line of Sight for ranged attacks.

''Sap'' can only be used from ''Hide'' or ''Conceal'' and causes the target to become stunned. This used by calling "Silent Stun Strike". If the character is in ''Hide'' when they use this skill, they can move up to 10 steps from their starting point, to within arm’s reach of the target, calling "Surprise Silent Stun Strike” to deliver the attack. This attack will not remove them from ''Hide'', unless this skill fails or they choose to remove themselves. A character can only have 1 target ''Sapped'' at a time.

	<span id="Smoke Screen"><i>'''Smoke Screen:'''</i></span> This skill allows the character to create a field of smoke that breaks Line of Sight for ranged attacks.

'''Conceal''': A character using this skill instantly becomes ''Hidden'', for a brief time. This skill is activated by calling “Conceal!” Once activated, the character must place their hands in front of their chest (closed, with knuckles touching), and can stay there for up to an hour, though the character cannot move from their Hide location (other than minor shifting).

	'''''Hunter's Mark:''''' Hunter's Mark does a number of things. A Marked target is visible to the Marking Ranger until the Mark is removed; Marked targets may still hide or become invisible but this only stops other people from attacking. The Marking Ranger can fire right through stealth, ~~concealmeant~~, invisibility, or any other effect that serves to deny line of sight. Also, Rangers may use this to Voice deliver one unmodified arrow at +10 damage or one modified arrow as ~~nomal~~ - this is called as "Hunter's Mark - <target> <damage/effect>". Hunter's Mark expires when a Marked victim has avoided the Ranger for one hour. Hunter's Mark can be used twice per reset. One extra use is acquired for free at 10th/20th/30th/40th level.

	'''''Pursuit Predation:''''' Rangers can walk down virtually anything in nature. Pursuit Predation allows a Ranger to follow a character who's used the Flee skill to disengage. This doesn't interrupt the Flee or force the Flee'r to stay engaged, but it does allow the Ranger to re-engage after 10 minutes of following time. It doesn't provide any travel mechanics the Ranger didn't already have - it'll catch you up to a Flee, but it does not itself open portals, or grant you wings or burrowing claws, or gills. Someone fleeing has ten minutes to find a better escape hatch; sometimes they can and you'll end up staring at the sky, frequently they cannot and you'll get a second shot. Pursuit Predation only covers the Ranger using it. Multiple Rangers can pursue the same Fleeing target, using their own Pursues, but this does not allow for passengers.
