The tabletop roleplaying system does away with classes altogether, deprecating them in favour of backgrounds, which allow players more flexibility during character creations. Nevertheless, it's still very much possible to play as a Ranger - they were turned into a background that embodies all aspects of the class, and foregoing that, the player can simply compromise Nature Magic with Combat and Stealth feats.
