[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 890947, member: 10397"] Before I start let me say, Stalker, this is not an attack on you. Just the voicing of thoughts and opnions, sparked by your comments. 3e/3er/D20 is very much all about "copycatting". The d20 system was made to be modular and generic...to use certain basic mechanics either alone or in groups to represent certain things. Lots of classes and prestige classes get Uncanny Dodge, and/or Evasion. the Smite ability in one form or other is possessed by at least half a dozen classes and prestige classes. Now this could be a good thing, a bad thing, or some of both depending on your view. Me, I mostly like it...although when designing stuff I do try to at least accasionly come up with all new "mods" for the modularity. As you also say Stalker the Ranger is a hodgepodgy sort of class any way you cut it. I think the combination of "mods" being used in the 3er Ranger is pretty decent. Actualy I like it a lot myself from what we've seen and I think it will drasticaly up the number of more-than-1-level rangers played. I think it fits a number of archtypes nicely. Not all that everyone feels the name "ranger" entails. Its not gonna please everyone. but neither would anything else they decided to do. [/QUOTE]
