The APG really helped in this regard. The same goes for spells, except maybe resist energy as a first level spell, the spell list of the ranger was rather uninteresting. The best new spell is probably instant enemy, a third level that allows you to treat an opponent as one of your favored enemies. Combined with Favored Defense, a feat that adds half the Favored Enemy Bonus to AC, it's a very spell.The inclusion of the feat Point Blank Mastery has probably reduced the need for switch hitter rangers since it allows the ranger to avoid attacks of opportunity for ranged attacks while being threatened. You have to chose between this feat and Improved Precise Shot, though (getting the other feat at level 10).There's a feat from Seekers of Secrets, Boon Companion, that allows you to get a full animal companion, although still from a limited list.</blockquote>
