Thanks Dan.

Directions would be appreciated. I don't have mine from last time, and the football event coupled with whichever bridge that was under construction thoroughly baffled any directional sense I might have gotten along the way.

Most excellent, LrdApoc. Only way it coulda been better is if it scrolled. =p

umm.. bumpage?

Actually enforce multiclass penalties? Then if they still want to 'roleplay' one level of ranger for their rogue, they also have to 'role-play' a half-elf (since that's all they're good for), or play a human rogue with no low-light vision, ability mods, or any other tasty rogue-benefits. Or they...

Re: The Point is: Not true at all. 16/131 people think that's ONLY what a ranger is. The other choices are not mutually exclusive of the first two, except that the poll makes them so by not being multiple choice. I could, if I were inclined to add to the multitude of ranger threads, create a...

So let me get this straight. You want to play a rogue with 3 bonus feats and take weapon specialization, but after that, you're done with the fighter class. And your upset at being penalized. There's a reason specialization is fighter only, and that's to keep other classes from getting it. :D...

What's with all the round and semi-spherical ornamentations? I can't think of a worse thing to do to a book cover. The old DMG, with the lock and key was nifty (though there was a lot of blank blue space) and something that might even let the book it illustrated stack in some semblance of...

I agree, in that new characters may see some new avenues and possibilities open to them with 3.5e. I disagree, however, that 3.5e will radically change current characters (straight rangers or bards and spell selection among sorcerors aside). To point out my meaning with your examples: 1. Yes, I...

I'm easily most sick of the term 'shaft'. Most overused would be either broken or meta, but that's not what the poll asked, despite the thread title. :D

Well, on a somewhat humorous note, you could pull out your knife and start sharpening it some evening with a whetstone. Poorly. Like taking the edge clean off in the process, perhaps even adding some nicks to the blade. When your smartass sword starts mocking you, suggest that maybe it's wit has...

LrdApoc, I would enjoy having a brief write-up on the setting background to work from, and can take it or leave it as far as character details being provided.

All of the above, but not necessarily at the same time. I would categorize them as an expert at thriving in the wilderness through their knowledge (particularly of their home environment) of flora and fauna, their ability to spot and pursue the subtlest tracks, and their mastery of the weapon...

Re: Re: allow me to clarify While I think that the freedom from most multiclass penalties is pretty liberating for the Half-Elf, it's a feature that does nothing when a large percentage of DMs start a new campaign, and the first thing they do is Rule Zero the multiclass penalties away because...

I beg your pardon, Angcuru. I hadn't meant any offense by it. I throw 'nerd' and 'geek' around with no negative connotations intended, and forget that not everybody wears/wore labels like "computer nerd" with pride in high school, etc.

My only concern is that Mystic Theurges seem balanced when compared to equal level cleric, but I just don't see enough downsides on it compared to the wizard of equal level. Of course, maybe that's just some kind of Prestige Class Illusion, since straight clerics and wizards seem comparable on...

See, I guess I don't look at them as spells, really. I look at the selection and go "Huh, he's got some abilities that reflect stuff an outdoorsman would learn and find useful. Pass Without Trace, Free Movement, Alarm, Animal Friendship, Detect Snares and Pits, Speak With Animals, Protection...

Exactly. Actually, I would suggest that quite a few ranger archetypes use ranged weapons (and point out that your own list includes Benjamin Martin ;) ), such as Hawkeye of Last of the Mohicans, Faramir, Legolas (arguments that these can't be a ranger in Tolkien's world because Tolkienish...

Yeah, I was really excited and pleased to see track on the run mentioned as a possibility, and I'm curious to see how they reworked favored enemies.

Well, the way I see it, Rangers were a fun class in 2e (if anything, they suffered from a lack of .. direction? focus?) that may or may not have been ideally suited to various archetypes and character concepts inspired by such characters as Aragorn, Robin Hood, various early American folk...
