[QUOTE="Don Durito, post: 8117475, member: 6687260"] You're right. But if the Deft Explorer option made in into Tasha's then you can at least get Expertise in Survival at level 1. (You could also take additional picks at level 6 and 10). (And expertise doesn't get that good until higher levels). Of course a dip into Rogue for more Expertise doesn't exactly hurt. At a certain point you start getting diminishing return on proceeding as Ranger anyway. I guess that's a flaw, but I have to say that I actully like the fact that after you get your additional attack you can branch off into Fighter or Rogue quite happily. And thinking about it, I'd actually want to take Expertise in Athletics before I take Stealth. Rangers tend to max Dex so they're already good at Stealth. However, they can't usually afford to have a good Strength so Expertise makes up for that (And to my mind a Ranger has to be able to climb). [/QUOTE]
