[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8262025, member: 63508"] The problem is many people forget that many superheroes went through training years. The Xmen is a story about elder superheroes teaching younger superpowered kids to use their powers in a world that would destroy them if they don't learn and display that growth and aid. The problem isn't Ranger, its too many new or experienced players wanting to play independent vets at level 1. You can't be Aragorn at level 1 the same reason you can't be Gimli at level 1. Wanna be level 1 Batman? Level 1 Batman is teenage Bruce in Japan learning karate. You can be level1 Robin and fight Gotham crime, but level 10+ Bruce Wayne is covering your butt. Maybe at level 3, you can join the Teen Titans. That's why 4e and 5e stating the concept of tiers was important. For a ranger, tiers more or less displayed your range and solidified to place in the world. Even older editions displayed when your character was really considered an independent person worthy of the name of their class. Too many ignored it and this is how aspects for more niche classes got muddy. [/QUOTE]
