D&D General Ranger Tank Armor

[pukunui]

I would start by asking the player what kind of powers or abilities might be cool, or which ones they already possess that they might like to enhance. This is good practice to do with all your players. And just because you ask them, doesn't mean they will get it. But it should give you plenty of ideas for homebrew magic items.

I would also suggest asking them what subclasses they are thinking of taking. If the druid player says Moon, then maybe you don’t need to do anything!

That said, another option for your ranger could be a magic melee weapon that allows them to cast compelled duel.
