Re: this is hilarious
Um, I think you're the pot calling the kettle black there. I mean, getting riled up over a messageboard post about a situation you'll never see? Either way, I don't think insulting the original poster is in any way, shape, or form constructive.
As for my thoughts on the matter... if the DM isn't going to make an effort to accomodate your player, maybe you should find another group. The DM's function is to tell a good story, and if that's not happening for everyone, something isn't working. That's why a DM's job is so hard and so much more demanding than playing - and why not everyone is good at it, even if they are a good player.
I can see where 3.5 might mess with some character "builds" a lot - a mage/druid/cleric whose basic role is a supporting spellcaster is going to lose a lot of oomph with the new revision. I would be pretty upset if that was my character design too. The Ranger problem is a DM thing though, and not a fault of the system as a whole.
And for Brown Jerkin, I believe Bards get Speak with Animals and Speak with Plants in 3.5. I don't know if that helps any, but if it's really such a problem, again, you should talk to the DM and see if he can accomodate you.
