Adaptable/Instinctive Combatant Your familiarity with the tools of your craft have made you a highly reactive and adaptable fighter, even in unknown and complex environments. You seamlessly switch between combat roles, quickly utilizing a multitude of different weapons to suit your immediate...

Mechanically, it seems like the fair thing to do at first glance. There's always been some sort of semi-permanent or at least temporary loss for getting your companion killed in every version of the animal companion ever released. There's a VERY good reason for it: If you view the companion from...

If you look at the very last page of the document, there's something called 'hunting tool proficiencies' or something along those lines. It's just an unfinished idea that I wanted as a catch-all instead of using Fighting Styles. If there's a good way to incorporate archery and the like with...

The class just isn't easy to define. It's kind of odd to force it into this weird fighting style dichotomy, but because so many people want the class to be so many different things, you need to eventually pick some things for the class to be. At the same time, you can't just make it a better...

Nothing! You're right, but for whatever reason, the community at large wants two-weapon fighting to be the Ranger thing. Of course, they also want the archer role to be filled by the ranger as well. So, it's either pick one, or pick both. If there's a choice involved, I've considered adding...

aaa

I've deliberated on this quite a bit and like the idea of doing both. Without feats thrown in, it doesn't really make you any more powerful, just allows you to play both roles if you decide to switch things up. The big downside being multi-class abuse to nab extra fighting styles, which is why...

Nothing but agreement here. I never give capstones much thought because no one ever seems to play 20th level games. I find it kind of silly now that no one has ever commented on that before! haha in definite need of a reeling in

Awesome! A sort of split-use mechanic like that is such a good idea. I just may do that; definite consideration. Thanks!

I'll do anything to keep it from using a spell slot! really, though, that's why the healing spells are gone in favor of a feature, too. While it is a source of additional damage, I don't think it should be compared to smite. Smite consumes spell slots because it is instantaneous, requires no...

The 5e rogue is a senseless abomination... want to be a super powerful sniper who can run at lightspeed, become invisible, dodge fireballs, and never take full damage while one-shotting every enemy? Take 2 levels in Super-Commando-Fighter-Wizard-Mime-SonictheHedgehog! I mean... thief...

Thanks for the feedback! I think the ranger in 3.5 hit the nail on the head for the most part. This version brings back some of those qualities that were (for some reason) abandoned. Nearly everything you have listed is already part of the re-write: redundant tool proficiencies grant you the...

Hi all, Just joined the forum! I wanted to give my most recent draft of a ranger re-write that I've had bouncing around the internet for a bit. I'm aware this is an old qualm, but it's still relevant to me; I haven't given up on finding the right approach here. This version of the ranger should...

Hello! Here for some 5e homebrew! want to absorb some knowledge and bounce ideas off of people
