That's still bad. Effects that only target your favored Enemy or only work in your favored terrain is bad. Too many games go all one way or another. It should be like Divine Smite. You get 80% power at base and 100% vs your specialty. +1d6 normally, +1d8 vs favored enemies. The...

I think this is an understated issue with Rangers. Rangers as D&D and most fantasy world are trained Solo Play (Witchers, Wow Hunter's, Monster Hunter) All Ranger parties (Ie ASOIAF Nights Watch Rangers, Dragon Age Wardens) Escort Missions of NPCs (Aragorn. 0e rangers) But D&D like MMOs...

As @Paul Farquhar stated, that's Ranger and Paladin. And now Warlock. Until further notice or change, WOTC is still operating on 1e/2e logic where a learnable Arcane magic after basic training is Wizardry and is too hard to be other than INT and too hard to be anything above 1/3 casting...

Welp you cant say the design philosophy changed. They could have made a list and made the choices permanent* *Unless you pay 100-500gp gold for ink removal and new ink

I think people want a real combat beast A custom 1st level spell that conjures a CR 1 bear seems fair. That's black bear, direwolf, giant hyena, giant octopus, giant spider, giant toad, lion and tiger.

Armor as THP makes more sense if you tie them to crafting. Smith Tools for Metal Armors Leather Workers tools for Leather and Hide Armors Weavers tools for Cloth and Padded Armor. Woodcarver’s Tools for Wooden Armor Then downtime can repair armor down to the minute or hour.

Paladins having Divine Smite and Divine Favor while Rangers having Hunters Mark and Searing Smite would have been decent parity. Healing Elixir would be a great option. However you can't concentrate on it

My issue is many of the options really don't fit Ranger. Imps and stuff. Nah. There really should be a critter spell that Rangers and druids both can cast that level 1.

What if ranger has an unique summoning spell that called an animal to their side Tarzan or George of the Jungle style 😂

Its too bad this spell is a level two spell because if it was level one it'll be a perfect option as a replacement for Hunter's Mark

So I am a fan of a spellcasting Ranger and very vocal about the community's and designers' poor support of Ranger spellcasting being the source of the dissatisfaction and upset over the class for decades. Favored Enemy being shifted to bonus spells IMHO was a genius move as Ranger has always...

The best designers will have jobs. You just need enough decent designers and flood the media with promotion of your product. That's why WOTC spends so much on art, because the first purpose of the pictures is ads. D&D will be #1 until some multimillionaire decides to dumb part of their wealth...

The point is you'd have to pay to create your own networks But almost every TTRPG outside of WOD and CoC channels their promotion via D&D fandom.

Not enough. Darrington Press still is using D&D as their jump off and customer funnel

The magic formula is MONEY. Spend money on the best available designers you could find then advertise and market the living HELL out of it. The main thing after legacy age that D&D has going for it is that 90% of fantasy TTRPG rely on TSR or WOTC to do the marketing to the mainstream to get...
