Vixen from DC comics can channel animal totems to empower herself. She can channel different animals, but only one at a time. Exactly like the Wildheart is depicting. The book series I am reading right now has a Prince whose special magical ability is muscle memory. Give him a little bit, and he can swap to any fighting style he knows and perform it, but it takes time to flip through too many. So, no, the Tropes do not "disallow" this.You know who else can swap their kit, beyond Hunter Rangers and Fighters? Wizards, Clerics and Druids. A wizard can alter what reality bending powers they have memorized for the day by spending a short rest, but somehow a Ranger is incapable of having two different sets of muscle memory they can interchange? And it must be that instead the designers are too stupid to write basic advice for DMs, and not that, I don't know, they thought that was a cool way to make the hunter seem more unique and powerful? Not every design decision WoTC comes up with is because they are too inept to do what you think they should do. Sometimes, they have an idea and a vision they are working towards.</blockquote>
