Rangers are amazing in 2e. Stealth skills, some minor spells, THE BEST TRACKER IN THE GAME. TWF is useful with longsword/shortsword + high Str. 2.) Exceptional Strength. Get more for your 18!3.) Specialty priests. More flavor for your priest.4.) Specialist Wizards with some power! 5.) Half-Orcs, Barbarians, Monks, Ninjas, Psionics, and Assassins are only one source book away (each). 6.) Planescape. 7.) More classic archetypes. No ranger1/rogueX!8.) Bards with full wizards spells, bonus NWP's, good weapon selection.9.) CORE RULES 2 + EXPANSION.10.) Half-elves are amazing.11.) Wizard and Priest Spell Comphendiums12.) Some of the better kits are fun to play.13.) Specialization at level one.14.) Multiclassed Mage/Clerics with high level spells.15.)
