My Ranger fix

[Cristiano Marcelino]

I think a straight wisdom bonus against favored enemies is an interesting concept and would be fun to try, but something seems a little OP to me when I think about it with Sharpshooter, Colossus Slayer, Hunters Mark a High Dex etc ...

This wisdom bonus is exactly the skill level 20 in the Player's Handbook but without limit per round.
It may even be a good alternative, but only serves against a few enemies.
Other classes have very good skills against any enemy.

I had to fight hard to implement a house rule to address this in my play group, but they finally agreed to it since it is relatively minor. We just reworded the Hunters Mark spell to change the 1d6 damage to 1d8 damage IF the marked target happens to be one of the rangers favored enemies. All other aspects of the spell stay the same. It's not a stellar change, but it adds just enough to the ranger to make me really enjoy the class in 5th edition.

In my opinion Hunter's Mark needs to stop being a spell and become class ability.

Might I direct you here to take a look at my rewrite.

Start at post #6 for the latets rewrite...needs some more work...but does a few things you mention here.
