A ranger is a wilderness specialist. Navigation, tracking , foraging for food, hunting and so on. In a hex crawl they would be extremely valuable. I consider them as fighter subclass so would share the combat skill of a fighter type. I prefer no spells and no animal companions. They definitely...

From my favorite editions... B/X: Race as Class: simple clear choices at character creation. Minimizes decision points. Treasure Types: Different monsters tend to collect different types of treasure. Morale / Reactions: makes encounters dynamic and unique Saving throws: I find the old style...

I like the lore of druids where there are a limited number of high level druids. In order to advance in a certain high level, you had to find and defeat one of that level and take his/her place in the hierarchy. Kobolds are dog-faced. I liked the assumption that the end game involved your...

Give it a try. I think you can get the books on PDF now. Opinions are just that... they are really meaningless. Nothing is better than real experience and I'm pretty sure an evening trying it out won't be the end of the world. You may find a great game, or it could be a disaster. Invite good...
