[QUOTE="ThoughtBubble, post: 836604, member: 9723"] Mostly, I like the ranger. They could be a little less shoehorned into their TWF setting. For example, I toying with an elven archer who uses a bow and a spear, and the bonus TWF doesn't seem so useful. But there's nothing wrong with having a pair of emergency daggers for all those times a spear isn't a good weapon. So that's not so much a worry as it is a bonus that's sometimes irritating because it's not the bonus I want. What irques me about the ranger is the ranger's spell selection. I would have liked to have had a few more spells selected that could duplicate more sublte effects. It'd be neat to have a few more spells available so that a ranger could be constructed with a spell-less feel, and just the occasional eyebrow rasing moment. And as far as the crappy skill points go, they're on the same level as the bard. And when you look at it like that, it doesn't seem nearly so bad. [/QUOTE]
