What about a spell that gives them more bonus actions? Hasten Hands 4th level Transmutation Casting Time 1 Bonus Action Range: Self Duration 1 Minute When you cast this spell, you gain an additional Bonus Action.

Well its not a bad feat. It's about controlling the outcome. As long as the damage and effect is worth a slot. Crits is something that is commonly stacked on in D&D.

Boon of Irresistible Offence adds 20 flat damage. Plus whatever your magic items might do. And you have the piercer, crusher, slasher feat. Exacting Strike Level 3 Transmutation Range: Self Action: Bonus Action (which you take immediately after hitting a creature with a weapon) Duration...

Isn't not a great spell on its own. It's really for rangers who get bonus damage or critical hit rider effects somehow. But it has to be at least level 3 so others can't easily get access.

Exacting Strike (converted old 3e ranger spell) Level 3 Transmutation Bonus Action (which you take immediately after hitting a creature with a weapon) Duration: Instantaneous. As you hit the target, primal forces pull it deeper. Your hit is now a critical hit.

4E used 1 on 1 skrimisher monsters being the standard. Then it scaled upward on resources for elites and solos. This gave them more leeway so that they could face it. 5e when back to making solos the standard and pared down. So they had less leeway.

It isn't a formula. It's a spreadsheet or flow chart. I remember 2 designers saying they have to pump values into an excel sheet. It's too complex to print. A chart would produce boring monsters. And like @M_Natas stated, things get wonky at the fringes of values. So in 2014, they fudged the...

There are likely too many modifiers to HP based on AC, Damage, resistance, immunity, saving throws, and defensive abilities that if a person doesn't read the section carefully one by word, they'd make boring monsters or bad monsters. And many DMs didn't even read thr 2014 DMG sooooooooooo.....

The downside is big. It comes so late, you are rarely killing anything with it. Good for building up damage. Excellent opener if you have 5 or more targets. Wisdom rangers aren't any of the main fantasy archetypes. Good power gamer builds. Rangers put out good damage with decent control...

I don't think Hunters mark should be your primary buff at all post level 10. It should be a Rangers back up when you lose concentration. AKA cast X then cast Hunters Mark if you drop concentration on X. Problem is there aren't that many good spells that are X for for general use. Situational...

It deals poor damage unless you have a lot of targets. Situational. Not bad. Situational. The issue you and others have is you want reliable. Currently. Ranger doesn't have a high level spell for reliable damage that isn't better on a druid. Ranger at high on levels is mostly casting druid...

No. Rangers dont have great ranger spells for high level for damage Rangers have great druid spells for high level for damage but not the slots for them. Ranger's ranger spells for damage are okay and situational. Mostly tied to aoe or control.

Or Just create better spells for high levels.

So again the problem is few unique spells level 3-5.

They didn't get additional hit points because of the loss of resistances. They got additional hit points if they were off on the CR Tables. 2014 assumed magic weapon as an item or spell. The 2014 chain devil has the same hp.
