[QUOTE="Strider The Ranger, post: 255955, member: 1741"] [b]Ranger[/b] In response to Canis' first question, "has it been played at all?" I answer "yes". This is currently the character class I am using for my ranger in a friend's campaign. No, the campaign is not unbalanced by the Hunted Foe ability. It really isn't all that powerful. When you think about it, all it is is Favored Enemy with a little more versatility. For instance, a PHB ranger chooses favored enemies and they can't be changed back. In addition, you aren't necessarily going to encounter them. With the Hunted Foe ability, it reflects the ranger's vast knowledge of the wilds and the creatures of the world. In all my playtesting (he's up to 10th level right now) the Hunted Foe ability really wasn't as powerful as you might think. I changed the Favored Enemy to this ability because it give the player just a bit more flexibility without disrupting the game. Please note that this post is not made in bitterness towards you for providing criticism. :D Thanks for giving me something to think about. P.S. the Hunted Foe ability is not at will. The Ranger can only change his Hunted Foe from one thing to another once per day. [/QUOTE]
