[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6766751, member: 22779"] LOL. I reread what I wrote and I was totally not thinking of that when I wrote it. Must be my subconcious at work. To be fair though, the Ranger I'm talking about as a base isn't really a "warlord" since none of the powers I was thinking of were particularly combat based. It's no more a Rangerlord than a bard is a Barlord. I was thinking that shifting ranger from front line combatant as a baseline to a support baseline with the subclasses then doing the lifting work of where you want to put the ranger in the marching order. A Spell Ranger could be similar to a nature oriented Bard - lots of nature lore, spell progression that focuses on nature and hunting (as opposed to a druid's worshipping nature), and that sort of thing. You would want the Spell Ranger as a guide if you're heading out into the unknown, uncharted wilderness. A "tanky" ranger, little or no magic, lots of combat features, would likely end up looking a lot like a fighter with the Wilderness background, but, more focused on specific terrains and enemies. You want to take the Tanky Ranger with you when you're hunting something. A "Pet" ranger, little or no magic, combat features synergize with a pet, would likely not look like any other class really since no other classes have this feature. It's basis is Tarzan or Mowgli or Beastmaster. I just love the archetype and I'd probably add in a bit of flavor along the lines of "raised by wolves" or some sort of tribal tie to a specific animal type. I suppose the closest analogue would be Totem Barbarian, but, instead of becoming like an animal, this class utilizes that animal to resolve goals. [/QUOTE]
