I'm looking for help and advise when it comes to home-brewing a d&d 5e ranger archetype. One of my players wishes to build a healing Ranger, I said I'd create a new archetype. It is the Battlefield Medic. I know it needs some work, I was hoping you guys could help me out and give me some advise, give me new ideas etc...
