[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 808299, member: 4134"] Will they get something else, then? [B][/B] That makes sense [B][/B] Cries for a house rule, then. What, like my cleric's turning? A sorcerer's proficiency for simple weapons? My bladesinger's heavy weapon proficiency gained by a fighter level? Well noone wants them, they just occur sometimes [B][/B] Well, that's because he's a fighter. He has a good AB and bonus feats. And nothing else. [B][/B] But he has a truckload of class skills, many many skill points, still a d10 HD (I guess), favored weapons, spells,.... The fighter has just his feats. [B][/B] Taking to levels to gain the Two Weapon Fighting feat for free? Well, these are clever buggers! The way I see it you'll get one feat at 2nd level, and at later levels you'll get additional feats. I don't see a way to get the use of these feats without taking many levels in the class So this thread is representative? I doubt it. And there aren't actually so many people that complain about the rangers' paths, and a lot who like the idea (me amongst them) or are indifferent towards it. [B][/B] Let me reiterate it: You and a handful of other guys in that thread here aren't 50% of Wizard's business. You exaggerate. [B][/B] I seriously doubt that Wizards will have to close their doors just because a single class (out of 11) was less than perfect for a percentage of the prospective customers. That's like saying Ford will go bankrupt cause some people don't like the rims on the new Focus. I have a perfect soulution: just ignore the paths on the ranger. You won't GET bonus feats that way, and can invest your normal feats on fighting feats. [B][/B] There are general classes, and there are specific classes. The ranger is a specialist, at least in some ways. The monk is best when fighting unarmed, and noone seems to complain - even the "penalties" a monk gets when fighting with something else (less damage at later levels, possibly a worse attack routine, not being able to use stunning fist....) are more severe. As I said: if you don't like feats you'll never use, just don't take them. There's no rule against that. [/QUOTE]
