I like it a lot. the bonus feats or whatever exactly the are are spaced a bit wider than I expected, but then they get other interesting things. Adding Woodland Stride was brilliant...in fact the only thing like a real complaint I can make is that they didnt add Trackless Step also(rangers being the master trackers, it would make sense for them to be able to evade such skills as well).  I dont know that uncanny dodge would make MORE sense than Evasion. I think either one makes sense as they both essentialy represent hyper awareness/reflexes. Obviously the choose Evasion over Uncanny Dodge because of the Barbarian.  /rant on: Ok I dont mean this to offend anyone but I cant believe 1) that they are people out there saying they dont like the Hide In Plain Sight ability(in general) because its silly and I can believe even less than 2) their are people on the boards who dont know how its "supposed to work" for those who have it.  I'm going to talk about the second thing first since it relates to the first. Shadowdancers can only do it within 10 feet of some sort of shadow besides their own. It seems pretty obvious that they are able to semi-supernaturaly use shadows to hide themselves even when they have nothing else to hide behind or arent actualy IN the shadows. And I'm sure that the Ranger will have a restriction similiar to that involving plants or natural terrain or something. I just dont see how in the context of DnD thats any more "silly" than a Paladin's Divine Grace or a Rogue with Slippery Mind. /rant off  Back to the Ranger. I love the camoflauge thing I've long thought rangers should have something like that. Hide in Plain Site is a nifty addition to. they do seem to finaly be at least somewhat addressing the issue of core classes giving little reason to stick with them.  And, to all the people endlessly quibling over what a "ranger" is, and wether the revised ranger fits the name: Get over it already. the DnD Wizard doesnt really fit a lot of the characters that bear that name on which it is based, themeaticaly(with the whole spell preperation thing and all). That doesnt mean it shouldnt be called a wizard.</blockquote>
