[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5823520, member: 63508"] I personally hate this "give rangers two weapon fighting and archery just because" thing that D&D has going. I prefer ranger by made in nature attuned warriors. They are good at [COLOR=Lime][B]archery[/B][/COLOR] because nature produces animals and monsters that the ranger doesn't want to fight in melee due to their size, poison, disease, horns, etc. They use [COLOR=Lime][B]two weapons[/B][/COLOR] and[B] [COLOR=Lime]light armor[/COLOR][/B] because two handed weapons and shields are too heavy and chunky to travel in the woods, sands, or snow. They know [COLOR=Lime][B]healing and poison removal[/B][/COLOR] because they travel far way from civilization and do not have easy access to a town healer or cleric to cure wounds and remove toxins. They are good at [COLOR=Lime][B]stealth, detection, and wilderness survival [/B][/COLOR]because they often don't have back up when dealing with the mighty creatures of the wilderness and cannot afford to enter unnecessary deadly conflicts. The fighter doesn't have those problems. They fight on clear battlefields free of roaming beasts, poisonous plants, constant exposure to the elements, and natural disasters. So they have a reason to train in[COLOR=DarkOrange] [B]all weapons, heavy armors,[COLOR=White] [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=White]and[/COLOR][B] multiple fighting styles.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
