D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

Out of curiosity, why would Druids be busted if they had 2 attacks and a fighting style? It's not like we don't have other full casters with Extra Attack, and most Fighting Styles provide fairly minor benefits.

You want to break 5e in half and give a pure Druids 2 attacks and a fighting style?

Because that's so much better than being a Triceratops? I promise you no one will take that subclass.

Two attacks and a fighting style is the literal bare minimum you give a class when you don't care about them at all.

Those classes have curated spell lists to not have many combat bonuses. Or limited extra attacks.

A Triceratops has 13 AC and can't cast spells.

IMO. Only issue I see is creating even more caster classes that overshadow martials in almost all respects.

Powerwise it's not really much more powerful than Druids already are. It's just it further detracts from one of the few things that martial classes can do.

making 2 attacks with a bow and archery style is not more powerful than a cantrip that you can add your casting modifier to damage.
Especially when you get to level 11.

But martials, need more attacks or more riders on attacks or both.

Have a forgotten about a Druid that gets to do that?

Snip because apparently Im still getting reported and punished after already being kicked out of the thread.

The Bladesinger doesn't have a curated spell list (it's arguably the best spell list in the game!).

The Bladesinger doesn't have a curated spell list (it's arguably the best spell list in the game!).

And the bladesinger is often regarded as overpowered.
