Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 7174046" data-attributes="member: 6704184">The 5e ranger is excellent, having a very strong identity and conceptual space, and with the revised version is executed very well. I'd love a fighter with favored enemy and 1/3 casting using ranger spells, and a rogue with natural explorer or primeval awareness and the same 1/3 casting, as well as a Druid subclass that gets some of the level 1-3 ranger stuff along with some extra non wild shaped melee oomph. None of that, even taken together, would obviate the Ranger class, though. What I would like to see is:a pole arm (spear) fighting style (gwf isn't what I want from such a thing, at all), perhaps even as specific as spear and shield, or instead of a fighting style, getting some kind of benefit for being good with high bow and blade, instead of pushing for weapon specialization. A subclass with herbal remedies, ritual casting, and some shamanic benefitsA subclass that is a little bit totem Barbarian (or better support for hunter type barbarians. I literally don't care about keeping strength "viable", let rage boost damage even when attacking with dex), but maybe a little more...spirit walker?A Ghost Walker subclass. The Stalker comes close. A subclass that shares space a little with the archefey warlock. The 4e warden, as a ranger subclass. More spells that evoke the ranger flavor. None of which is a big deal. Overall, the revised ranger is one of my favorite classes.</blockquote>
