Those who feel more kinship with beast than man, those who have no use for the constructs of civilization, those willing to shed blood to protect the purity of nature. The words of the Oath vary, but always the intent is the same a promise of swift and lethal violence to those who would defile that which the Ranger holds dear.

• The right hand buff defaults to Large Edged skill if the right hand is empty.
• The left hand buff defaults to Small Edged skill if the left hand is empty and the right hand is not holding a Twohanded Edged skill or Twohanded Blunt skill weapon.
• If the right hand is holding a Twohanded Edged skill or Twohanded Blunt skill weapon then that is the only skill that gets buffed regardless of what is held or not held in the left hand.

• Each race gets a different oath message when casting the spell.
