1E Ranger adapted for 3E Etools

[JRRNeiklot]

Hey, I just converted the 1e ranger to 3E in E-tools format. I left most of the abilities, in, lost the combat styles and 4th level spells and gave him back weapon specialization. I wanted to add the magic user spells, but I can't do that with EThelper. I'm going to use this (plus MU spells)in my next 3e campaign. I'm also giving the paladin the entire cleric list to balance things a bit. If anyone wants it, post here and I'll email you a copy. Since the E-tools repository is down, I didn't know where else to put this.

What couldn't you add with ET Helper? The eTools House Rules will let you create spells as desired, and ET Helper will let you include them in your new class definition pretty easily. Am I misunderstanding you?

The 1st edition ranger cast 1-3 level druid spells and 1-2 level MU spells. I added the druid spells in, no problem, but you can't add TWO spellcasting classes to a class with ETHELPER. Either divine or arcane, not both. I could have just added the MU spells to his spell list, but then they'd both work off wisdom instead of being separate spell mechanics. It's not a bug with ETHelper, the class just works different than 3e classes.

Ah, yes. I've forgotten all those mechanics from so long ago.
