			== Class Role ==

			The Rangers skill tree allows focus in, or mixing of, two distinct roles. Either the Ranger is a close-range damage-dealer, or a stealthy scouting class. They are the only class capable of remaining concealed for a large amount of a mission, and wielding powerful shotgun-class weapons, which have significantly less penalty for range than in the previous game.

			The Rangers Scout path focuses on improving their ability to use Concealment, with Phantom allowing an Ranger to potentially remain stealth through the entire mission, which can help in long missions by preventing the squad from being surprised by enemy pods. Conceal allows the Ranger to enter stealth even on normally exposed missions, or to return themselves to their concealed state after launching an ambush. In combat skills, the Scout path offers abilities that suit a lone-wolf, flanking combat style, with Implacable allowing the soldier to reposition after exposing themselves for a flank.

			Their Assault path pursues more blade-focused abilities and a proficiency in being a very aggressive up-front attacker. Key abilities improve the Ranger's sword abilities, and allow them to ignore overwatch shots that would prevent them from engaging, with Bladestorm serving as a counter to any melee-based aliens. Untouchable provides a degree of safety from the retaliation to their aggressive behaviour, and Reaper can allow the Ranger to perform cleanup on softened enemy pods.

			Rangers frequently embody the concept of high-risk, high-reward, capable of exceptional, reliable damage, at the cost of exposing themselves.
