It's widely regarded that the Ranger is lackluster. It's also regarded, and somewhat the point, of the Bard to be able to slide into almost any role in the game, and do it effectively.
So, can a Bard out-Ranger a Ranger?
Valor Bard
Expertise
Can steal Ranger spells and use them sooner
Full spellcasting
Can steal spells on ANY list to compliment the role
So my question is... What would this look like? The general progression, I mean.
Dex and Charisma
Longbow or Hand Crossbow
Sharpshooter and/or Crossbow Expert
Expertise in Stealth and Perception
What else? What spells would be targeted for this?
