[QUOTE="Lejaun, post: 6822786, member: 6814580"] I'm unsure about rangers. The abilities it can add are useful, especially if you choose defense for a shield build (AC 19 with no magical bonus is pretty decent for wearing medium armor), but the wisdom may be a steep cost for some characters. Rangers would be a must-have top choice to multi-class into if you could use Hunter's Mark while raging. Adding +1d6 every time you hit with normal attack(s) and bonus spike armor would be so nice. Damn rage and concentration! Other than that, spells would pretty much just be Goodberries usually for the healing. The Hunter options all work nice as well with a battlerager. It's just the wisdom that hangs me up and doesn't match with my play style. I feel strongly that a battlerager wants STR 18-20 above all else as quickly as possible. Dex needs to get you that +2 AC bonus (14), but can be ignored after that. All remaining efforts go into the very valuable Constitution. This class begs to be played aggressively and on the front lines, so you need all the HP you can get, even with rage resistance. My battlerager group uses the 15,14,13,12,10,8 PH method for stats, but if you have acceptable stats from rolling, ranger multi-classing will certainly give you some nice choices to work with. Mountain dwarves with their +2 STR and +2 CON should help some in freeing up some stats for ranger WIS. [/QUOTE]
