[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8116833, member: 59057"] Reading all those complaints here and on reddit makes me think that WotC should maybe stop doing UAs. The features we get are all balanced. Not over the top as some of the UA versions. The revised ranger in no way was good. It was way too good. The new favoured foe feature is not very good. But favoured enemy was terrible. Yes it was a big situational diplomatic boost... but it is not a good thing for a player ability. The ranger of the PHB is more or less harmstrung by having two ribbon features at level 1. Now he gets an extra skill and expertise (half of the rogue bonuses) a less situational but easier to use sneak attack (which requires concentration). What I would wish for the ranger is con save proficiency instead of dex saves, so you don't lose it so easily or a combat casting feature baked in. You get better armor and better hp and better weapons than the rogue, so the package is not bad at all. The new features compare easily put the paladin features of that level to shame, who just has 5hp healing and divine sense and heavy armor which probably is just 1 more hp. [/QUOTE]
