Message: <blockquote data-quote="fireinthedust" data-source="post: 5523655" data-attributes="member: 51930">Okay, been going over the Woodsman.I want to create a sort of non-spell Ranger, without an Animal Companion unless they're higher level, perhaps, as this is Robert Jordan and not D&D.  Keep in mind there is the option of the Wolfbrother PrC, for those bestially inclined woodsmen.  A true Woodsman should be a robin hood character, I think, with light or no armor but plenty of arrows and fencing techniques; with a wilderness tracker streak, and a Barbarian edge option for those who like playing rough.So far I'm tempted to think up some Packages for types of Woodsmen (read: wilderness warriors), and I'm thinking an Archery package, a Barbarian package, and a TWF package (maybe, though Armsman would be best for swordfighting, so maybe make it a Stealth/Scout package?  We're not D&D here, after all, and don't have to please everybody (or even anybody, if the main book's critics are any measure <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> )).  I could see Beastmaster from 4e working, though I'd take it from less mystical and more "you have a pet you've trained well" POV; anything more would need channeling or a PrC like a varient Wolfbrother (and we've seen neither as part of WoT, so it's a non-issue).  We'll see.By package I mean like the Wizard Specialist schools, or the Sorcerer Bloodlines.  That or just having traits to pick, like the Barbarian and Rogue.I'm also thinking about the 20 level spread, and how the only truly high level characters in the books are Aes Sedai.  Rand isn't a straight Channeler, he's Multiclass, but he happens to be reasonably powerful (in the book he's a 12th level Wilder with extra feats and serious Overchannel and some Angreals, which is terrifically powerful for the setting: most people are max 6th level, with 10th level a big deal).  For Woodsman, 20th level could include capstones like environment-favouring for the Dreamworld, or the Ways.  I dunno.more on the way.</blockquote>
