Conceptually it makes sense as a class, but in the sort of game where wilderness exploration and survival really are not mechanically supported, it is hard to represent it. And, yes, if ranger were to be folded to some other class, it indeed should be a rogue. A rogue subclass could easily support what little mechanics the wilderness aspects require, and it works well for a mobile and stealthy archer. Though I would prefer if the game had more focus and rules regarding exploration, and the separate ranger class would have rules that supported that.</blockquote>
