Using the UA Rangers with no spells variant how would you suggest Primeval Awareness work?

 

Suggestion-

Once per short rest, last # of minutes equal to your proficiency bonus.

Not bad, but it's really the limit of "How are you doing this if you don't have a divine connection with nature?". I guess you could flavor it as a variation on Tracking.

I dont see it as Divine or Arcane, just a heightened awareness that something unnatural is in the area. Maybe you notice the local fauna acting strange, or flora wilting.

I would make it once per short/long rest. Its not a combat ability, and its more exploration then anything. Heck, I might change it to something like,

Primeval Awareness

  With your knowledge of the natural world, you can spend 30 minutes going over the surrounding area to find the tell tell signs of supernatural creatures. You can tell if any celestial, fiend, or fey creatures have been in the area in the last 24 hrs. You can do this once per day in any given area.[/qutoe]

 

then maybe the area gets bigger according to your proficency mod, and an added bonus to the size of the area you can tell in your favored terrain.

I think cowleymen's idea is valid, it just needs some stronger fleshing out. I would allow it to be used a number of times per day equal to the Ranger's Proficiency Bonus. It's uses recharge after a Long Rest.
