RAW RAW with common houserules RAW with setting variants from popular settings Discussion gets harder when you are too far from the share experience.

It's weaker. The class only has a fewer exploration features and knacks over Tier 1. Mostly replicating 1st level spells. A5e redesigns it's entire skill and adventure system to scale Rangers. But if you don't use A5E's Adventure book, you lose all of that scaling. The ranger's issue was...

The WHOLE D&D community and and the community of adjacent games that broke off official D&D

Nah. Every nonmagical class is not the same. But the A5e ranger doesn't have an exclusive School of my numbers. Instead it gets a subset of the school that the fire has plus a damaged bonus and some very very minor exploration abilities. Or more the other way, a A5e Fighter can take all the...

You're not hearing what I'm writing. I'm saying that the D&D Ranger fantasy is a character who can accomplish a set of effects. Part one is: The D&D community won't let Rangers produce most of those effects without magic. And those they allow require heavy nerfing via "realistic"...

It's more that nature tinted classes are associated with Green or Brown. The A5e Ranger is very similar to the A5e Fighter.

Not the core ranger and too close progression. I'm not belittling the system. I am saying that the effects that people typically desire or want in the Ranger requires magic in D&D. They don't exist out of side of spells or supplemental materials in D&D. I mean it took 30 years for Rangers to...

50% power is better than 0%. The 5e ranger has access to the spells that cover all* the Ranger fantasy. However many of them are too weak as they were written for Druids. The A5E ranger has access to knacks. But their knacks don't cover all* of the Ranger fantasy nor does it scale. But doing...

Exactly. Rangers literally have magic because tool use beyond Tier 1 are all magic items and Rangers cannot dictate their availability to magic items. Rangers literally have healing Magic, sensory magic, animal magic, plant magic, and divination only because people thought that these are or...

Again I will say like every time you bring this up. A5e was specially written for the Ranger to not need magic Because the A5e Ranger is a green colored Fighter. The A5e Ranger doesn't fulfill the full Ranger fantasy as much a core Core 5e Ranger. The 5e ranger is just a little too weak.

They use magic weapons and armor since their role is primarily combat. Rangers use spells because magical tools are not available normally. But I am in the opinion that Rangers would be best suited as Infusion users instead of Spellcasters. IMHO, Rangers would have a utility belt. With...

The ranger doesn't use magic because it's convenient. The ranger uses magic because it's required. Rangers deal with magical monsters and terrain. Tracking and pursuing fey or dragons or other D&D monsters safely more or less require the blatant supernatural.

The D&D Ranger as described is a hunter, guide, and survivalist. The way it is described is similar to a character we all know: Batman. Think about it. Think about all of Batman's gadgets and tools and sidekicks and accessories, fantasy them up, and switch martial arts to eat the archery or...

Ever since I heard the lore that all dragons are selfish and too self centered to raise their young, I cooked up that dragons do rituals that dragons do to their (or stolen) eggs to make servants. One ritual hatches dragonborn from dragon eggs. One ritual hatches kobolds from dragon eggs. One...

I ponder creating a 1e Fighter 5e subclass Level 3: The RoughEST When you attack with a weapon whose mastery property you can use, you can replace that property with the Cleave property for that attack. If that weapon already has the Cleave mastery, you can add your Strength modifier to the...

There is really should have been more simple cantrips as PC/NPC action. Well that fire breath can hit multiple targets. And it deals 48 times accuracy every turn normally with their tooth and nails.

I still say separating Archetypes into subtypes Origins Subclasses Specialities Prestige Classes Paragon Paths Epic Destinies

Not really. You can't outheal incoming damage without specving for it. And that requires a ton of work.

The fact that some pieces can be built as defense tanks does not deny that the majority of PCs are glass cannons. And really that was only from early editions and RPGs that seek to emulate earlier editions. Because in those editions you're saving throws massively increased with level compared...
