[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7027509, member: 12731"] Nah... it's fine by me. All my players wanting some Ranger theme have in the end chosen Fighters anyway; the most Ranger anyone has gotten was four levels (I think). [SIZE=1]That said, I can't remember what the actual Fighter Scout brings to the table. Probably it's still uninteresting compared to Battlemaster.[/SIZE] The revised ranger's favored enemy damage boost is a gamechanger in that regard. :) Not to speak about Rangers that want to play Rangers not for the combat aspect, but the animal aspect. In this regard, the ranger spells kind of don't cut it. Hunter's Mark costs too much - enemies fall quickly, having to switch targets all the time is not worth it: better to take Crossbow Expert to make a bonus attack instead. Most other spells can simply be replaced by "just kill it". But since WotC clearly values Ranger Spells more; the dream scenario would have been a Revised Ranger with an optional variant on top to replace the spells with a measure of extra combat prowess that would be sure to be even better. (Perhaps Paladin-like smites to spend all those slots ;) ) [/QUOTE]
