D&D 5E Building a better Ranger

[Kolvin]

I use my own Ranger in my current campaign. the player who is playing it seems to like it. Tried to offer three distinct builds, beastmaster, spell caster, and skirmish defender.

Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/heg31mwiieth5c1/unofficial_ranger.pdf?dl=0

Feel free to critique.

I agree that the latest UA version is the best, but a few changes that others have touched upon:

1. A spell-less version and conclaves with modifications made to represent a spell-less version such as adding herbalism. Compensate by offering features at the "empty" level features.
2. Domain spells for casters
3. I would have preferred expertise in survival and one other ranger skill
4. Another option for favored enemy. Not a big fan of that feature. Maybe offer an option for others focused on being a scout. Example Thieve's tools proficiency to represent ability to set and disarm traps. Or ability to climb and swim.
