[QUOTE="Tigris, post: 9829125, member: 7043270"] The Witcher did not get popular long after D&D 5e was made. And the 5.24 ranger is not much different from the 5e one. Also I can see 0 influence from thr witcher in the ranger. Just because witcher is popular does not mean one needs to force that flavour onto a commpletly different class. Yes Harry pottet had influence thats why there was a Harry Potter school subsetting with spells and different houses. On the other side what mechanic does a 5.24 ranger have which has anything in common with a witcher? Hunters Mark is pretty much the same as in 4E and in world of warcraft. Summoning wild animals and beasts is from druis /"primal spell list" and is pretty much something going completly against what a witcher does. (And summoning many creatures is typical D&D spellcaster behaviour since Baldurs Gate 1 at least). Animal companion is also druid/nature flavour and the same as in world of warcraft. Being good with bows and swords is aragorn, not witcher, they focus more on swords (and not dual wield). Oh and is also in world of warcraft. Ok witchers have some spellcasting, but what kind of? Correct only cantrips. The one thing the ranger does not have (it has to borrow it from the druid). Also witcher does not have nature magic. It has shield, fire, runes. The thing the ranger does not have. Witcher go for weaknesses of enemies, there is only 1 ranger subclass which gets to know them and ranger does not have any means to exploit them. (Here a PF2 thaumaturge is much closer). Lord of the rings is still popular (the movie, not the outdated book) and there the ranger part is the non magical. There is maybe 1 losely witcher inspired ranger subclass, but ranger is still the nature dude. And there are many inspirations for that. (Baldurs gate even and tons of other games). Witchers are cool, but they are not rangers. [/QUOTE]
