* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', Rangers have an interesting place in Dwarf society because they spend most of their time outside the Holds, on the surface. Their roles are securing the land outside the Holds, protecting Dwarf merchant caravans, reclaiming lost Dwarfish treasure and hunting down creatures like goblin mobs and lone trolls (and sounding the alarm if a larger creature or army is close by a Hold). Despite their clear importance, [[DudeWheresMyRespect being a Ranger is a thankless job]]; a lot of Dwarfs even suspect that many Rangers are cowards who dishonoured themselves but didn't want to take the [[DeathSeeker Slayer Oath]] so they became outcasts instead. Rangers and Slayers ironically tend to get along well, as they can both understand how it feels to not fit in anywhere.
