[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7680830, member: 92511"] Thanks Tom. Well, first, I'll direct you [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?465488-Ranger-Rehash/page4"]here, Rehashing the Ranger[/URL] "Final" version is post #37, for the ranger rewrite I've already done. But this does rather interest me...which kinda makes my head want to explode, considering I have a half dozen fighter archetypes (including a warlord) and a witch class using up "brain space" at the same time. Since it would just be a 5 level, "mini-class" just to get the idea out into the inter-verse, I can probably throw something together today. I like what you've done here. It's not really what I'm thinking, but it totally works. My only two thoughts/questions are: 1. For the Spellcaster, if I don't take it until my 5th level archetype, does that mean I get to start as a 5th level caster (4 1st/2 2nd)? I think it clear that is not/should not be the case...but I can totally see people trying to get away with that. Since there are no #2, 3, 4 features for this subclass, I would think a single sentence stating that if you take this archetype as your 5th level/Secondary archetype, you begin at the start of the spell progression table, i.e. as a 3rd level caster, and increase with your levels from there. Basically, just tack on, "If you take this archetype as your 5th level/Secondary Archetype, you function as a spellcaster two levels lower than you are." 2. The "Flank" action for the Special Beast actions is not really necessary/redundant. The Help action will allow the beast to flank with you (or any other character you direct it to Help). I also think "Stay" is unnecessary and, in my own Beastmaster rewrite, I just say that when it isn't directed or completes an action, the animal just returns to your side (or close to you/your immediate area as it can). But the rest all looks good to me. I'll get to hammering out something for levels 1-5 after a fresh cup of coffee. :cool: [/QUOTE]
