D&D 5E (2024) Multiclass Ranger Fix?

[Jefe Bergenstein]

The ranger was literally modelled after aragorn. The witcher is not so long known and is quite different to a ranger flavour. Being a magically enhanced mutant using potions you brew is much closer to an alchemist.


And in lord of the rings movies the scenes which made aragoen look like a ranger where his knowledge and and experience. Not his magical lineage.

Aragorn isnt a D&D ranger as they have existed for the last 25+ years. Probably longer. Middle Earth is clearly not in line with D&D's mechanics since... well, ever. So using it as an excuse to justify a class not using a core foundational aspect of the world as presented by D&D doesnt sit true. D&D Magic is super reliable, apparently easy to learn, and costs nothing. There is zero reason for an independent survivalist not to use magic in the D&D world.

The book is 70+ years old. Time to let Aragorn go.

Last time D&D ranger was Aragorn it was 1989.
