[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8107831, member: 6906155"] Yes, I like the ranger. I went with Ranger Knight and Beast Tamer. A few comments: [LIST] [*]I believe Thieves' Cant is a tag, that might open up a certain quest. [*]True Strike does not suck as much in BG3 as it does in PnP. [*]Ranger Knight is not as good as it sounds, as good heavy armour is hard to find in Chapter 1. My History prof told me Szass Tam was a Lich, which I knew anyway. [*]"as a ritual" means you can cast it as often as you like outside combat, so the familiar is an expendable minion (more so than a wizard, who doesn't have ritual casting yet, so they have to burn a spell slot). I found the raven most useful. [*]Tool proficiencies are not in - Thieves' tools are keyed to Slight of Hand skill, and Disguise Self is a 1st level spell. It gives you slight of hand, but it doesn't give you the Disguise Self spell at level 1. It might add it to your ranger spell list at level 2. I assume the text is out of date. [*]Beastmaster (level 3) summons another expendable minion, stronger than the familiar - very similar to Neverwinter Knights. [*]Hunter works as PnP. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
