I think the ranger class has an identity crisis. Is it a fighter subclass? A fighter/thief hybrid? A junior druid? The original SR ranger was obviously designed with Aragorn in mind, using what was available at the time. Aragorn was good fighting Nazgul ("undead"), so the class got cleric...

The Midgard Serpent should be at least in the terrasque class. For pity's sake, the thing encircles the world. Just my $.02

Fighting styles aren't quite equivalent to WS. In 5e, they are Very reluctant to give attach bonuses. Archery is the only style that grants one. You get other benes, but 5e is tightly designed for "bounded accuracy". I've been told that trying to grant a simple +1 to hit will violate it...

Half blue-black.. So half of her is Drow? Muy interesante...

I seem to recall Hel(a) having one side of her face as very beautiful, and the other as.. well.. a corpse. How/should that be represented in her Cha score? Definitely want to stay on her good side :P

I agree: this Is ridiculous. I remember when being a policeman was one of the most honorable professions one could take. They are the ones who respond when someone is breaking into your home at 2 am. A few (and they Are few) bad cops have caused the entire profession to be tarred with a very...

When the media and others Insist on someone using the words "Black Lives Matter" (without a "too") at the end, it has become a "dog whistle" of its own. It has become a way to buy into a number of assumptions with which I can't agree: 1. All the police are racist (even the AA cops?) and are...

I'm sorry, I have a problem with this. Black lives definitely do matter. All lives do. I don't know when saying "All Lives Matter" became a mark of racism. The death of George Floyd was tragic, and the cop(s) responsible deserve the full measure of justice. But it has become a...

Just quoting what the game says. Like it or not, Robin Hood was one of the inspirations for the ranger class. The fact that the class has spells is a (misguided) attempt to duplicate Aragorn, who Also didn't have spells. IMHO, rangers should be spell-less, with a few class features to justify...

This from the AD&D2e Players Handbook: "The ranger is a hunter and woodsman who lives by not only his sword, but also his wits. Robin Hood, Orion, Jack the Giant Killer and the huntresses of Diana are examples of rangers from history and legend."

One problem with the Ranger in 5e.. No real spell-less option

Curious.. which rendition of Sharpshooter did you use for this? I'm a little surprised that you didn't go with a Ranger build for Robin Hood. If there's one historical character that screams "Ranger", it's Robin Hood! Even as a fighter, I notice he doesn't have the Archery fighting style; or...

(Getting my seminarian hat on) Lucifer would be best represented as a kind of super-Solar, well beyond the abilities of a typical angel. He was the highest created being, but still a creation, no where near the Creator. Michael would have been the 2nd highest, pretty close to Lucifer but not...

I haven't had a chance to look into this as much as I'd like. Is it true that MU/Cleric spells and such are in a separate book? I can see putting AD&D-ish stuff and other non-BX classes and adaptations into supplements; but putting spells for "basic" classes into separate books seems too much...

Wow, finally a decent UA again! I can totally see these in action. If I had an armorer, I don't know that I'd even want to MC into anything else. The Druid and Ranger options are cool too. Way to go, WotC! Now just waiting for XgtE 2!

I'm 90% sure that Someone will come out with a Savage Worlds Witcher game. Everything is coming up SW nowadays.

Would signs be some form of cantrip maybe? Not sure how the potions figure in..

I'm not super-familiar with the books; but I understand that Ciri becomes a witcher of sorts. There has been discussion on some forums that Geralt would have made a good ranger, or that the Witcher would be a good replacement for the Ranger class. I think Geralt had some wonky abilities that...

I'm not sure Herc was really a barbarian. He only "raged" when he was driven insane. By that standard Anyone could be a barbarian. I definitely see him as a/the iconic Champion. Maybe with some ranger thrown in, but not sure what/who would be his favored foe/enemy. RAW his strength would be...

I wonder if he'd be a good candidate for an Arcana cleric. Especially the Mummy version..lol
