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

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 – Extra turn actions
@nadaval6the special extra turn of the UA ranger, does it have a move, interact with object, and bonus action? doesn’t say in UA yes to bonus action, yes to move, action can only be spent to attack or hide, as per the ability's description
