I love 1e...but I have a question about the ranger.

[Corsair]

Fochluchan Lyricists or however it's spelled?

*sigh* I kinda miss 1E. You know what 3E needs? A 1E bard

That's probably one of the reasons I've never liked the 3rd Edition bard. Too many good memories of the 1st Edition bard.

Congratulations! You spelt it correctly! (Except it's a Lyrist, but close enough).

My County of Ulek (druidic-inspired) has a PC who has just reached the 1st level of Fochluchan Lyrist.

Cheers!

Yep. The 1E Bard was the original 'prestige class.'

 

[Whimsical]

1st ed. bard = sherman tank with stereo option.

Yes, not certain of the spelling either, but it's in the Complete Adventurer and it is the closest thing to a 1E Bard in 3.5E.

It's a minimum 10th level character pre-req (one of the skills, perform i think, has to be 13), you need evasion too, bardic knowledge, arcane caster, divine caster and speak druidic. It's geared for the character to mult-class several times.

Thanks,
Rich

Wow. Now how in the heck did I miss that?

*runs out to the car to grab Complete Adventurer*

Good times....

The ranger got magic user spells because he was the original survivor class and jack of all trades. It wasn't until 2nd edition that they treehuggerized (TM) him.
