Confirmed - Rangers get d8 HD in 3.5e.

I'm not sure I like a boost to favored enemy.

+5 to one species was bad enough - I'm hoping it isn't just being doubled.

It could be worse - it could even be +1/Level!

Nah...

Strike the -1/-1 for 3.5e TW Fighting, it's -2/-2. I somehow missed the masterwork bonuses...


Cheers,

A d8 hit die for rangers? Feh. Now he's on par with clerics and druids, with the exception of his BAB (hopefully still +1/level). Let's hope the ranger would excel as a hunter/tracker than a barbarian, movement-wise and combat-wise.

I think it would make sense to give the Ranger Fast Movement, if only when they're in their natural habbitat (underground for Dwarves, forest for Elves, etc.). But that might take away from the Barbarian, which I don't want to do. The location thing could also be a difficult mechanic to run communtiy wide.

This sounds a little too much like an EQ Ranger. Light armor, lower hp's, two-weapon fighting or archery.

+5 against a species is inconsequential considering the character would have to be a 20th level ranger. Other characters are dealing out far more damage through feats, spells, or abilities like sneak attack. I think the favored enemy ability needs to be enhanced to make the class worthwhile.

Gotta say it...

If the 3.5E Ranger truly has D8 Hit Dice - well then the 3.5E Ranger got the SHAFT!!!

Someone had to do it...

You noticed that to, heh? If their combat styles are limited by armor, that's the first thing I'm house ruling. I hate the idea of rangers being hampered by chain mail. Full plate, fine. Chain mail, no.

And one of my players managed to make an overpowered Ranger. Though sometimes I think he could make a deaf, dumb, and naked pure Bard a killing powerhouse.

I love players like that...
