Beast Master 11
Fey Wanderer 8
Gloom Stalker 22 - what is this?
Horizon Walker 21
Hunter 23
Swarmkeeper 9 - best ranger for Squirrel girl

I‘ve decided that I dont like gloom stalker, it has no theme - an Ambush specialist who becomes invisible in the dark, resists paralysing spells, can disguise himself and gets rope trick just because?

He’s Batman.

Lol..read that as increases by 5 ft. Yeah.. that's a solid downside. So is the loop to pop in and out of tree form during the fight? Or is the extra reach enough to make it manageable just to hang out as a tree?

You could just be an archer too. See, with the 5ft speed thing it makes me feel like there should be a counterpart form that's much faster. And if we're playing with the plant theme, I'd like to see a form related to the spirit of Harvest, like a form that lets you shed Goodberries all over the place or something healing based...

Also, the tree form's temp HP equal to HALF your ranger level? Wow... can't wait to reach level 4 and get TWO whole temp HP a turn. I'm sure that'll come in handy.

Swarmkeeper 1 guess there's no saving that one either :/

Sure but anytime your complaint is that class mechanics are boring, adding archery is only ever going to make that worse.

For my money, the alternate plant thing "should" be camouflage based, better or easier hiding. The temp hp is at the start of each of your turns with no action requirement. There are better sources of temp hp, but this one is action light and econ free.
