HM, I'll have to check it again. The original one seemed a bit too giving, IMO. Oh, hurry up and close, library! Vrylakos

Hm... I think there were some differences. I'll check when I get home tonight. Monte himself said he made up the original one off the cuff and hadn't revised it since he did it - like he had second thoughts on some stuff. I'll check and report back! Vrylakos

Agreed. I really like his ranger material in Book of Hallowed Might. Which one are you using? Vrylakos

Sorry if I thought that. It's all cool. I am somewhat worried that the 3.5 Ranger won't be all that different from the 3E Ranger. I'd like it to be a class with REAL options. Like the fighter, the wizard, the cleric, the rogue. The feel of those characters is directly connected to player...

Relax. I have. I then responded to another poster. You don't get the conversation you want, I'm sorry. Vrylakos

Just wanted to note that your quoted bit above was not from me, though you did attribute it to me... Vrylakos

Oh, I agree with you. What I'm saying is that to get that archetype, you've got to go elsewhere. The Ranger basically fills the "druid-warrior" slot in the rules set. Part fight, part spells. I don't think it has much anymore to do with its origins. Vrylakos

Yeah, but you can make Aragorn via other classes now. Times have changed. So, the ranger class has shifted to something else. Likewise, you didn't see any of Charlemagne's Knights casting Detect Magic, yet we have Paladins. D&D is an imperfect fit for a lot of genre emulation if you only look...

Trying to make the class fit these archetypes doesn't work, despite the name. There's not enough similarity to between the D&D class and these fictional characters to assign one to the other. The ranger is basically a nature-oriented paladin, IMO. Vrylakos

Yeah. Animal martial arts would be moderately exciting and a perhaps interesting new twist on the ranger. And so thus, probably not going to happen... Vrylakos

You know what would make a hell of a lot of sense to me? An unarmed path. I mean, in theory, you drop a naked Ranger into the middle of a jungle or a forest, or wherever, he should be the guy who can handle it, right? (I mean, barbarian's a close second, but humor me) Not as it stands. He...

MM! Sounds good! What other titles in the series are in the works? Thanks! Vrylakos

Hm, thanks for your feedback. I see where you're coming from with your review policy. I was just hopeful that you razorsharp perceptive powers could give me more info, but you've given me enough, methinks. Thanks! Darren

Sorry to do a quasi-hijack, but does PCGEN allow for monstrous PCs easily? How do you like PCGen in general, Psion? Could you maybe do a review of it (perhaps after the Codemonkey agreement has gone through). Vrylakos

Wow, I've gotten very lucky. Five critters. Vrylakos

Well... I'll play Devil's Advocate. An epic usually involves a hero engaging in a long over-arcing struggle or journey; said struggle/journey is usually beyond the ordinary in size and scale. Star Trek isn't epic, though it's interesting at times, and has had some great, perhaps Epic, moments...

Hey there... I was thinking: Creature Collection Revised has been pushed back to be retooled for D&D 3.5. I figure many publishers may decide to hold off publication of material as we get closer to the 3.5 release, and so the summer might see a fairly barren landscape with regards D&D...

The pisser here is the Bastion Open Call. I've got a couple of critters that would probably work very well for "Into the Green", but right now they're at S&SS. I guess i'll work up some stats and keep them handy just in case S&SS comes through. Vrylakos

I liked those also. Who did them? Vrylakos

I liked Erol Otus, actually. His designs had a certain weird surreal quality. Vrylakos
