Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9392422" data-attributes="member: 6801228">What does shooting an arrow made of lightning have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does summoning wind have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does running and leaving a trail of fire behind you have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does summoning a large orb of light have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does bringing back someone from the dead have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does turning your skin into stone have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does turning into a tree have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does teleporting through trees have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? What does animating trees, stones, and grass have to do with being a grizzled warrior of the woods? Does every single spell need to have a direct narrative line from "experience in hunting creatures" to whatever the spell effect is? What does hunting creatures have to do teleporting multiple times within a 30 ft range making multiple weapon attacks? Do I need to justify that as some sort of hunting technique of a grizzled warrior of the woods to be happy that the ranger has Steel Wind Strike, or Revivify, or Lightning arrow, or anything else? Sure, sure, it is only Hunter's Mark that is the problem and it is only a problem because WoTC decided that it was an important part of the ranger. I've already said we can make it more magical. I like the magical GPS tracker bit, which DOES fit a hunter. So, how about this, tell me what would be an acceptable magical answer to dealing 1d6 damage on a hit for you. Instead of you just constantly demanding I justify the mechanics of the spell, you tell me. Not "make it mundane and therefore it would be better". It is a spell, you have said you are fine with a ranger being a spell-user and a hunter. I'll give you magical GPS on the utility side of the spell. What would you accept as a proper magical damage reason for Hunter's Mark?</blockquote>
