4e Ranger builds

[DM-Rocco]

Anyone have any good ideas for a 4e two weapon ranger build?

I prefer humans for the extra bonus feat but the elf and dwarf look fun too.

What weapons do you think work best with a dual wield build?

a dwarf using two kopeshs is neat.

Kopeshs in 4e? I can't find them.

Inspired by one of my miniatures, the barbarian from the Diablo II video game, I made a human "barbrangian" wielding two battleaxes

Adventurer's Vault.

Although I don't really see why a kopesh should be treated as an axe.

Okay, I see it. I don't understand why the Khopesh is in the axe group either.

It doesn't say you can use it as an off-hand weapon though, so how can you use it in both hands?

Two-Weapon Rangers can wield ordinary one-handed weapons as if they had the off-hand property.

Duh, what the hell was I reading. Says it right there in black and white.

Okay, that make weapon seletion easier. What do you guys like for races with the ranger?

I have been mainly DMing so besides for stating up for the hell of it characters don't have much experience.

One person in my group though likes playing a Gnoll, Two-Weapon Ranger with Axes (various kinds), or his Claws (with the Gnoll racial feat) when he doesn't have weapons handy.

It is funny seeing what most people view as a graceful and acrobatic type of class turn into a barbaric one as the Gnoll simply slashes the living daylights out of its enemies with axes.

I usually DM too, but I get a rare chance to play so I thought I would try out the ranger.

PHB races only, but no fun ones like tiefling, dragonborn or Eladrin.

For the others
Regaurding weapons, why would you take a Khopesh? Why not spend a feat so you can use a Craghammer?
