[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 816493, member: 7211"] [b]Ridiculousness[/b] As others have said there is nothing wrong with taking a class and not using every little bennie. I see nothing wrong with adding a style or 2 to the new ranger (unarmed is the only one Im really thinking of adding), but not using your style doesnt invalidate your rangerness. Whats your concept of a ranger? Some aragorn type, wielding a bastard sword or a great sword? The ranger can do that! And the class even allows you to pick up some extra feats (of your choosing) to back you up. Like if you find yourself on a hill defending hobbits against ringwraiths, maybe that 2wf will come in handy with a torch. Or if youre trapped in the mines of moria, shooting orcs as they come through the door, maybe PBS will aid you. Just because it may be a class feature you dont use all the time doesnt mean its useless. It will be far less useless than "Spell Focus". The new ranger will lend itself to many different combinations of weapons and armor, 2-weapon fighting and Archery are something the ranger excels at, but it is by no means the limits of their ability. Next youll be complaining about the paladin's warhorse and how he can't take it into the dungeon, or how useless uncanny dodge is to your rogue with maxed initiative who goes first every combat. Or better yet how your bard is upset over some new song he can play, since it seems youll never ever want to use it, because after all, it doesnt fit your character. Technik [/QUOTE]
