Adventurer).  Dual-wielding a trident and a shortspear.  I had planned all along to jump into Tempest (Comp. Adventurer) when I qualified, which would be the next time I level.  However, the woodland-esque setting has given me pause.  I am somewhat enamored with his animal companion (an owl), skill set, and "wild" feel.  Tempest, I didn't fully realize, has a rather limited skill set which moves away from what a ranger is.   However, having thrown a bunch of feats into setting up for entering into Tempest (and making myself effective in combat with a rather unlikely weapon combination) I feel like I really have no choice.  Is there any way around this problem?  Perhaps a feat or two that would maintain the feel of the ranger while I am taking some levels in Tempest?  I'd also be happy to hear some thoughts on staying the course with the ranger class.  Input of any kind is welcome.</blockquote>
