[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7260183, member: 28301"] First use the revised ranger in the UA content, its just a better version. I would use the 18 in Dex, that will save a ABI for feat. You don't need CHA, I would use the 8 there. WIS powers you abilities, put the 16 there, then 14 in STR and CON (athletics and HP) and then 11 in INT. For the PHB version, Colossus slayer works with melee and ranged, Giant killer is VG but limitation is size of creature and uses your reaction, and Horde breaker means you need 2 enemies standing next to each other, so does nothing against a solo or spaced at enemies. For the nest choice, you Multiattack defense is the most useable, many higher level creatures will have multiattack. Escape the Horde requires you to provoke and OPP ATT, something you might not want to do. The 11th level one depends on how you play the ranger, just pick one. Uncanny Dodge just works whenever you want it to, with no conditions. Its the best choice. PS, with those scores I would play an Elven Oath of the Ancients PALADIN. You can start with 18 DEX and CHR, then 14 STR and CON. With Medium armor and a shield you could have AC 20 at first level and then go up. It would could be great [/QUOTE]
