Each Hunter of X archetype received a spell list similar to the paladin that gave spells that are useful against the group and sometimes related to the tactics of that group. For example the Hunter of the Horde archetype got aoe options, the Hunter of dragons got stuff like resist energy. The Hunter of Beasts archetype received an animal companion as well as some other nice goodies. The choices from the current hunter archetype were also spread throughout the new choices (Hunter of the Horde received hordebreaker and escape the horde features). I liked it because I feel that there are no obvious ranger archetypes, ranger is already quite specific as is. This way felt very similar to how the wizard chooses a specialty school of magic.</blockquote>
