Random thoughts:
*I upped the range and damage on "Deadly Volley" from it's wizard counterpart because it requires 2 loaded weapons, where as "Scortching Burst" has no requirements.
*I gave "Smoking the Aces" a lingering effect (slowed) and made it a daily since it has a burst 2 and the only other spell I saw with that AoE was a daily.
*I changed "Deadly Partners" to basically be a "Careful Attack" Clone... not sure I am happy with that, but I think adding dex*2 to hit instead of a straight +4 is more in keeping with 4e. So then I had to take out the dex to damage or it would have overpowered the Ranger class.
*I could probably just use the "understood 'I'" rule, but I like refering to myself.
*Ye Ole Pistol is my 1st attempt, I gave it a higher base damage in part because this class has no "hunters quarry" so this will help a bit in making up that damage difference.
