Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uller" data-source="post: 250803" data-attributes="member: 413">With only a 10 wisdom, you can only cast 0th level spells..and since rangers don't _have_ 0th level spells, you basically can't cast any spells.   That means no animal companions.IMO, Rangers are not the type of character to "min/max".  Rangers tend to be generalists...they need a good score in just about every stat...Str: needed for effective melee combat as well as being able to carry decent amounts of stuff without losing their "quasi" feats.Dex: Needed for dex based skills as well as boosting their weak AC.Con:  Not critical, but it is always good to have some extra HPs.Int: Necessary to really take advantage of the ranger's good skill selection.Wis:  Needed to cast spells as well as use Wis based skills.Cha:  Not really necessary unless you want to use skills like Animal Empathy...The point of a Ranger is not to be a "stealthy fighter".   If you want that, go with a Fighter/Rogue.  A ranger is generally useful in a range of situations.If I were to make an Elf Ranger with 32 points, it'd look like this:Str 14Dex 15Con 14Int 12Wis 14Cha 10After racial mods...Str 14Dex 17Con 12Int 12Wis 14Cha 10Then I'd concentrate on using a bow...feats like Weapon Focus (longbow), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, etc.Two weapon fighting is nice, but it has the unfortunate requirement that you wear light armor...light armor and melee combat is not usually that great a combination.  Save the TWF for something to fall back on should you be forced into melee.</blockquote>
