[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 5459880, member: 78752"] Ender -- Did your ranger have at-will, encounter, and daily powers? If so, then Wik is right and you were playing 4th Edition. [[I]Edition war comment removed by admin.[/I]] If your ranger didn't have powers then we're going to need more information to suss out which edition you were playing. If you are playing 4th Edition, [I]Heroes of the [COLOR=Red]Forgotten Kingdoms[/COLOR][/I] will be a valuable book for you. It's full of rules (including the basic ranger rules), as well as tips about playing the game. But if you are specifically looking for the rules online you can get them at Wizards.com for a subscription fee (look for Dungeons & Dragons Insider links). Unfortunately, no matter how you slice it, getting into D&D is not free. If you want to focus on XP, you should focus on XP. The most important thing in D&D is that you do what's fun for you and your group. A big part of the fun in 4th Edition is getting new powers and feats and being able to do new and better cool stuff, and that's all in the XP. The best advice I can give you as far as maximizing your group's XP is to know your character and your fellow players' characters well, and understand what skills and powers they are good at. If you know how to work as a team, whether you are talking or fighting you will end more encounters with greater success and get more XP. D&D, especially 4th Edition, is not a game you can win on your own. I also recommend using cards to keep track of your powers (if you're playing 4th Edition). You don't have to use the official ones. I find handwritten index cards very helpful. Good luck, and welcome to the hobby! Have fun! [/QUOTE]
