don't get me wrong...I think makeing better then WotC is possible...but it is a gambleMaybe so, but it has been done. Case in point: Monte Cooks Ranger when compared to the 3e Ranger. I'm hard-pressed to find anyone who's said that his Ranger is inferior to WoTCs 3e, 3.5 & Complete Warrior versions (in fact it's been pretty unanimous that his Ranger is superior to all the 3e WoTC incarnations of same). If he did it, Fiery Dragon can too.
Yeah, but the official version was already out when Monte made his ranger. The problem here is that without knowing the official version, any one that's created elsewhere might be lame.
and once again I must ay why gamble when you can just wait for WotC to do the heavy lifting...
