[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 66253, member: 114"] Another option you could consider: Duelist prestige class. (Dragon mag, sword & fist). This would seem to fit in very well with your concept, and to be honest I would think that fighter would be better than ranger as the base for the character - since you are not particularly interested in the spells, the tracking, the favoured enemy and you don't mention the ranger skill list as being particularly interesting. It means that you don't get good at TWF until you reach 2nd level, but the additional feats you gain will vastly help with your fighting style, and by the time you reach the level when you could make duelist you will have overtaken the limited initial benefit of the ranger TWF. Have you considered how your proposed modifications match up to the example of the modified fighter with some rogue abilities in the PHB and the example of the modified ranger with some paladin abilities in the DMG? As it stands, it almost sounds like the sole attraction of the ranger is cheap TWF and obvious abilities to swap out for others. I'm sure that is not the case, but if I were your DM I'd look for evidence that you were looking for a particular concept first as the foundation for the character - and it sounds more like fighter to me at the moment. Best wishes, [/QUOTE]
