[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 7623074, member: 6780330"] I did like the Warlock-style choice, as the best way to try and salvage the Ranger with animal companion archetype. Honestly, I see the beastmaster going away in future iterations of the Ranger, if it doesn't follow a spell slot equivalent style framework something along the lines Mearls proposed. The idea of a terrian-specific Ranger subclass really scratched a major itch for me: mage-warriors tied to nature, who bring the fighting style of their home wherever they go. Much stronger narrative identity, fired my imagination in a way that the standard Ranger, with it's confused identity, never has. In particular, I was taken with the possibility of culture hero archetypes that can take elements from particular real world cultures, but tied to an environment rather than a specific ethincity (Arctic Rangers pulling from Finnish/Norse/Siberian/Eskimo folk heros, Desert Rangers pulling from Arabic/Australian-Aborigine/Navajo/Hebrew heros, Grassland Rangers pulling from Mongol/Persian/Magyar/Lakota legends, etc...)
