I didn't notice the supposed superiority of Ranged at all, not in comparison to the imbalance caused by the variability of the rest mechanics for Paladins vs Fighters, etc. and that was with most of the campaign being outside rather than dungeons. And that was with a Ranger fully kitted out for ranged.Unless I put them on some kind of clock or whatever to prevent long rests, the Paladin simply dominated. Never the saw the Ranger dominate or felt I had to plan for him. If anything, we had to do a lot of work to keep the Ranger relevant. Some of that may be due to the Ranger player not being so into it as the Paladin player, but ranged is certainly not the insta-win that it sometimes gets portrayed as.</blockquote>
