He faces monsters with different abilities and spells, and the rules governing the combat itself has changed.Now, the game mechanics doesn't break if your new ranger met a pre-revision monster, but that doesn't change the fact that the monster have changed.In other words, does it matter what set of rules (3e or 3eR) you are using? Yes, it does matter. Does it invalidate your many purchases of the former set of rules? Thankfully, it does not.</blockquote>
