[QUOTE="Ront-Keelar, post: 1554, member: 156"] I hope I am not posting here too early. . . But I figured my lurking days should end with the new boards. Anyway, with all the debate and flaming and hub-bub about the ranger class and with the seemingly infinite versions of this class out there - I thought we could make an effort to dissect and compare all these versions one at a time - not in an attempt to say one is better than the other (though obviously some have more thought put in them than others) - but to provide players and DMs out there with a single place to look at the numbers for themselves and come to a decision. So, this is what I propose. We begin with one alternate ranger at a time. We start first with how it is presented in the 3E Player's Handbook - this we are all very familiar with. Then someone puts up the stats for the alt.ranger that first popped up. We break that one down and compare it to the first. Then we put up Monte Cook's version (which I could not find today but I know it is out there somewhere), compare that to the first and then to the second. And so, on. . . . I say we start with these three well-known versions before people start posting more obscure versions from the web. . .and then later we can even compare it with other d20 similar classes. So, what do you say? Who wants to start us off. . . Will it have to be me? The 3E version of the Ranger Class. . . [/QUOTE]
