[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6763866, member: 63508"] Unfortunately there is a percentage of the D&D fandom who say "Thou cannot X without magic". So instead of gathering herbs, the ranger casts spells. Actually that's not all [B][SIZE=3] 1) THERE IS A PERCENTAGE OF THE D&D COMMUNITY WHO WILL NOT ALLOW SOME EFFECTS AND ACTIONS WITHOUT MAGIC.[/SIZE][/B] Rangers can't gather herbs to heal, bards can't sing morale into the weakened to heal, warlords let's not get into that. [B][SIZE=3]2) BECAUSE 5TH EDITION'S SKILLS ARE FREEFORM AND NOT CONCRETE LIKE 3RD AND 4TH, WITHOUT MAGIC YOUR RANGER'S RANGERINESS IS AT THE FICKLE MERCY OF WHAT DM YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE.[/SIZE][/B] One DM could say your ranger can use Survival and Natures to gather herbs to heal wounds, neutralize poison, invigorate allies, and intoxicate enemies. Another DM could say your ranger can use Survival and Natures to gather herbs to heal wounds, neutralize poison, invigorate allies, and intoxicate enemies only in the spring while near a dense forest under a full moon. Another DM could say No to it all. [SIZE=3][B]3) EVERY GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS OF WHAT RANGER "POWERS ARE"[/B][/SIZE] Some want subtle effects that are fund in real plant and animals. Others will allow storm and elemental rangers with lightning arrows and fire arrows. Others want more "travel the world" rangers who pick up bot druidic, clerical, fey, demonic, and wizardish feature. [/QUOTE]
