Or all of the above. ;) However, since the 2024 Guide background seems to be the go-to Ranger background, it would appear to be the first option. Druids taught Rangers how to use Nature Magic (another name for 4e's Primal Magic?). That said, why give the Ranger class their own spell list when...

As @DEFCON 1 pointed out in their post, what would be gained if you made each of the Fighter and Ranger subclasses into their own classes. Aside from the features that were originally subclass features, you would have to add in new base class features for each one to make them visually distinct...

This problem was addressed in Level Up when each of the classes was given features to cover each of the pillars in the game. They also became a little more customizable than their counterparts in 5e by having features that gave the player more than one option to choose from. Agreed. The Level...

You could always give them one of the two Heritage gifts from Level Up. Dwarven Stability You gain an expertise die on saving throws against effects that would knock you prone, and on saving throws made to resist being shoved. For 5e, it could be rewritten as: You gain an Advantage on saving...

Each class in Level Up: A5e has features that cover each of the three pillars of gameplay. Combat, Exploration and Social Interaction. How they cover these three pillars differs between each class. An A5e Cleric goes out into the wider world to spread their message to the public. An A5e Bard...

Having it where each class has a feature or two in the exploration pillar would work better. Isn't that what a Background is for?

They are still almost always magical from our point of view. How does a native of a high magic setting see magic? A part of the background? Nothing to write home about? ;)

Yes, however, Gandalf dresses the part and carries a staff. Aragorn could be mistaken for a Fighter or a Rogue.

I am perfectly okay with it. Whenever my RPG group travelled through the wilderness or through a dungeon, my Gloom stalker Ranger/Scout Rogue always volunteered to scout ahead.

Well, there is A5e's Fantastic Fletcher archetype for the Ranger. They can augment their arrows in a number of ways.

If Aragorn knew any magic as a Ranger in LoTR, it would have to be subtle to the point where you didn't know he cast a spell. A whisper here, a whisper there for the verbal component. A hand gesture that wouldn't seem too out of place for the somatic component. An item seemingly picked up at...

If 5e was anything like PF1 with regards to Sorcerer Bloodlines, the Sorcerer class would out-archetype the other classes by sheer number alone. ;) PF1 has up to 51 Sorcerer Bloodlines and that's not including the 3pp ones. :p As for PF2, Sorcerer Bloodlines are broken up among the four...

True, there could be Ranger builds where the character focuses their attention towards one type of monster. I have seen at least one Ranger subclass whose class features deal exclusively with the undead. These Rangers would be like the Specialist Wizards. A Ranger who deals with all kinds of...

You're welcome. :) I asked because of a post I made on this same thread several pages as well. Level Up: A5e has a feature that is like Favored Enemy called Studied Adversary. It differs from Favored Enemy in that you can change your favored enemy per long rest. I can imagine that the Studied...

@Rocker26a, what about having it where you can change your Favored Enemy per Long Rest?

I remember several decades ago; Palladium Games was planning to come out with a TMNT and Other Strangeness 2. But the plan never went thru because they were worried about the target audience not buying it thanks to the first TMNT cartoon.

What makes a class satisfying is how you role-play one during a gaming session.

For some, Pathfinder 1st edition was seen as 3.75e D&D. I gravitated towards it because of its' familiarity. It was a slight improvement over 3.5 but it still gave you the feeling that you were still playing D&D.

Why stop there? Every class/subclass has something that needs fixing. ;) I suggest that we start with the Fighter class and go from there. Any chance you have seen the homebrewed version of the Ranger by Laser Llama for 5e?

I was unaware that someone was doing a Kickstarter for this RPG. curious
