[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9398184, member: 7034710"] versatility to be able to pick and choose when building a character with all the different individual facets of what people see as ranger stuff, ranger is probably the one class in DnD with the greatest number of micro-concepts that make up it's themes, exploration, medicine, hunter's mark, stealth, nature, tracking, survival, making consumables, favoured terrain, animal companions, melee combat, ranged combat, beastmastery, magic, favoured foes, and with more granularity inside those concepts of how they're executed. sure, but those are very large chunks, they're not very customisable, like getting housing bricks to build with when you need something more akin to duplo-sized for a finer touch. is there a typo in here somewhere? you seem to hard reverse direction in what you're saying after the first sentence? 'i can't see the ranger crafting...which is now a subsystem so ranger's got that covered too' [I]i'm not saying it needs to be non-magical[/I], but i do think making specifically [B]spellcasting[/B] the loadbearing mechanic for all of the ranger's customisation is a terrible idea, not all magic needs to be spells, the ranger would work wonders with an invocations/infusions style system that lets it pick out a number of smaller supplementary boons to shape it alongside subclass.
