[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9397524, member: 6877472"] I'm not sure the Ranger has a strong identity, I mean, is the Ranger: Tarzan, Lord Greystoke? Aragorn son of Arathorn? Daniel Boone, King of the Wild Frontier? Drizz't Do'Urden? Robin Hood? Simo Häyhä, The White Death? A Druidic or Fey Knight, a counterpart to the Paladin? What features do we want them to have? Dual-wielding? Archery? Peerless tracking? Camouflage? Trap and snare making? Herbalism? The ability to live off the land indefinitely? Monster Hunting? Animal Taming? Beast speaking? Terrain mastery? Fast movement? Ignoring difficult terrain and natural hazards? Ignoring exhaustion and extreme weather? Learning combat abilities from beasts? Are they aligned with Druids or Nature priests? Do they gain powers and boons from sylvan creatures and the fey? Shapeshifting (either as a Druid or something as transformative as turning into a Treant, like 2e's Limbant Ranger?). Do they have climbing and swim speeds? Can they call upon primal spirits, conjure and call protectors of the forests? There's a lot of different things that's been thrown into this nebulous category we call "Ranger". [/QUOTE]
