Ranger Subclass for 5e
The horn was never really the ranger's to begin with. It has three calls, and anyone close enough to hear them knows them in their bones.
The View gets the whole party moving at once without a word said. The Bay makes leaving slow and expensive, though never impossible. The Recheat pulls everyone back to the ranger and shakes the fear off them.
The first call in a fight costs no action. After that the horn wants the Bonus Action, and so does Hunter's Mark, and picking between the two each round is what this subclass is really about. In a chase, the ranger's check sets the pace for whoever is in the lead. The Chase comes with it, a single page of rules for running pursuits.
