 *The Primeval Awareness feature is not in the game.
 *See [[D&D 5e class changes#Fighter|Fighter]] above for Fighting Style changes.
+*[[Hide in Plain Sight]] has a few changes:
+**It requires only an action rather than a 1-minute preparation period, and does not require the Ranger to be pressed against a solid surface.
+**It applies the [[Invisible (Condition)|Invisible]] condition in addition to its +10 [[Stealth]] bonus.
+**It ends if the Ranger takes damage, which is not listed among the ways it can end early in 5e.
 === Hunter ===
 {{see also|Hunter}}
+*The reaction attack granted by [[Giant Killer]] option must be an actual melee attack, not just an attack from within melee range.
 *Hunters get both [[Volley]] and [[Whirlwind Attack]] at level 11, rather than having choose one or the other.
 **Both options are implemented as an AoE attack rather than picking specific targets, and will damage friendly NPCs (though not companions).

 *The [[Summon Companion]] options are limited to Bear, Boar, Dire Raven, Wolf, or Wolf Spider, and have unique stats rather than monster stats.
 **The companion acts on its own initiative rather than the Ranger's, and does not require the Ranger to take an action to command it.
+***The 7th level [[Exceptional Training]] feature allows the companion to take the Dash, Disengage, or Help action as a bonus action on its own turn rather than requiring the Ranger's bonus action.
 **The companion can be swapped out or resummoned once per short rest.
-**The companion adds the Ranger's proficiency bonus to its attack rolls, damage rolls, Saving Throws, and Armour Class at 5th level and not at 3rd level.
+**The companion adds the Ranger's proficiency bonus to its attack rolls, damage rolls, Saving Throws, and Armour Class starting at 5th level rather than at 3rd level.
 *At 5th level, 8th level, and 11th level the animal companion gains additional hit points.
-*At 5th level and 11th level the animal companion gain additional abilities and increase their abiliity scores.
+*At 5th level and 11th level the animal companion gains additional abilities specific to each companion type, and increases to some of its ability scores.
 === Gloom Stalker ===

 *The [[Dread Ambusher]] initiative bonus is a flat +3 rather than the Ranger's Wisdom Ability Score Modifier. To get the extra damage for a first-round attack one must use the [[Dread Ambusher (Melee)]] or [[Dread Ambusher (Ranged)]] actions.
 *For '''Umbral Sight''', rather than getting normal [[Darkvision (spell)|Darkvision]] or [[Superior Darkvision]] if the race already had [[Darkvision]], Gloom Stalkers get [[Superior Darkvision]] in all cases.
-*Gloom Stalkers get the always prepared ritual spell [[Disguise Self]] at level 3.
+*[[Umbral Shroud]] is a new action granted at level 3 that allows a Gloom Stalker to become [[Invisible (Condition)|Invisible]] while in shadows once per short rest. This replaces the section of Umbral Sight that makes the Ranger invisible to creatures with Darkvision.
-*Gloom Stalkers get the always prepared spell [[Misty Step]] at level 5, instead of Rope Trick.
+*Gloom Stalkers are automatically granted the spell [[Misty Step]] at level 5, instead of Rope Trick, which does not exist in BG3.
+**The other granted spells are the same as in 5e, though note that [[Disguise Self]] (granted at level 3) is a ritual spell in BG3, meaning that Rangers no longer need to spend their very limited spell slots on it.
 *The level 7 feature [[Iron Mind]] gives Proficiency in Wisdom and Intelligence Saving Throws.
 **As opposed to just Wisdom with a choice of Intelligence or Charisma if the Gloom Stalker already had Wisdom saving throw proficiency.
