Seriously:Scout sub-class; 3rd level Natural Explorer & Bonus Proficiencies Survival&Nature; 9th level Land's Stride; 13th level Hide in Plain Sight; 17th level Foe SlayerHoundsman sub-class; 3rd level Beast Companion & Bonus Proficiency Animal Handling; 9th level Exceptional Training; 13th level Bestial Fury; 17th level Beastly Coordination (maybe swap 13&17) from the Class Design Variants UA articleAnd if you want a proper Archer, then make a champion fighter, grab Archery and Close Quarters Shooter (from the Underdark UA article) fighting styles, and go for Sharpshooter & Crossbow Expert feats.The Ranger feels like it no longer brings anything to the table in this edition.Think about it. The more you think about it, the more you'll see it. Hell's bells man, Sneak Attack in 5e and Beast Companion were made for each other.Also, seeing as you're now fiddling with things, make the beast commands still take an action, but once you command it to attack it continues to f*&%ing attack its target because it's a smart puppy and doesn't need you micromanaging everything it does.</blockquote>
