[QUOTE="The_Hanged_Man, post: 7707447, member: 52062"] Given that Piercing Thorns is on level with Colossus Slayer, the addition of Guardian Soul on top of that is too much power creep for my tastes. While in tree form the ranger could use also large weapons too, so Piercing Thorns could be dropped all together. Plus, Ancient Fortitude and Guardian Aura seem stronger than Defensive Tactics or Superior Hunter's Defense so some balancing is in order. Some suggestions: Lvl 3 - Drop Piercing Thorns (or Disallow Large Weapons). Maybe even make the transformation a full action, but perhaps that is going too far. Lvl 7- Ancient Fortitude only once per short or long rest. Lvl 11- No Change Lvl 15 - Guardian Aura does not work on 0 HP. Otherwise the whack-a-mole is real. Even with all those changes I think it is still probably stronger than Hunter though. [/QUOTE]
