[QUOTE="Galethorn, post: 4276682, member: 7888"] Having slept on it, it seems like a better modification would be to just alter the TWF path to be a more general melee path, and forego the change in hitpoints. To do that, I think what I might do is basically let a ranger make two attacks with a single weapon for all the powers where you roll to-hit twice. It's possible that this would be a little unbalancing with, say, a greataxe, when compared to the ranger with two longswords. To solve that little stumbling-block, I think I might just exclude two-handed weapons other than Heavy Blades, because they're "Too heavy to use effectively for Ranger powers." This means that a single-weapon ranger isn't going to do any better than two attacks at 1d10 damage, which is the same as a ranger with two bastard swords. Now, yes, the single-weapon ranger only has to buy one weapon, but that's nicely counterbalanced by the fact that they only get the bonuses of one weapon; you get to burn twice as many item-powers if you've got two magic swords instead of one.
