[QUOTE="Dr. Zoom, post: 70978, member: 409"] I would just make it a regular sneak attack. It would not be worth having without being able to use it when flanking. But I would not give a core class, especially one of the fighter types, the sneak attack ability. Leave it to the rogues and to certain prestige classes. This leads me to my first suggestion. Do you have the d20 Star Wars book? It has a nice bounty hunter prestige class you could use in your game with very little modification. Its major features include d10 HD, 6 skill points per level, target bonus starting at +1 and increasing to +5, and sneak attack every 2 levels (5d6 max). If you want a woodsmen variant of the ranger core, drop the spells and grant a bonus feat at each level where the ranger would gain access to a new spell level (4th, 8th, 11th, and 14th level). Do what you want with TWF. Some like it, some don't. Losing Concentration and gaining Gather Info sounds alright. Drop Sense Motive as a class skill unless your normal rangers also have it. Same with the two extra Knowledge skills. I would not remove the medium armor proficiency. If the character chooses to wear it, then they just have to suffer the armor check penalty and lost speed. One last suggestion. Get Master's of the Wild. I just got my copy today and it has some very nice material for rangers (and barbarians and druids). Edit: I just read the Bloodhound prestige class and it might suit your needs for a bounty hunter type, too. [/QUOTE]
