[QUOTE="Nightstorm, post: 520318, member: 2246"] I think the real question is what is a ranger? When I think of a ranger, I think of characters from myth and lit such as Jack the Giant Killer, Robin Hood and Strider.So when we look at the Ranger we ask what makes a ranger and why does the ranger have what it has. So these were some of the things that I felt defines a Ranger. 1. A Ranger is a "fighter" type that either lives in the woods/wild and or spends most of his time there. 2. The Ranger, having spent so much time in the wild or for what ever other reason, has singled out a favored enemy. 3. A ranger lives by wit, knowledge of the wild, and blade. 4. Magic, though a Ranger MIGHT pick it up here or there(mulitclass) for the most part those in lit and myth do not. 5.So when looking at characters like Jack the Giant Killer one gets the idea that a ranger has such great knowledge of his enemy that when he hits true, he can do extra damage knowing the anatomy/weak points of his enemy. Also , we need to ask what does not belong in the Ranger . The psudeo feats have no basis in this class. Next we go to what is a focal of the favored enemy.
