I dint really have a stake in either camp. I think a magic using ranger is fine, and I would be happy with a non magic using one.

But I had to share this meme from someone that seems excited about it. Mainly because it’s attached with Aragorn.

In all seriousness, I would love to see a reason for wizards to carry staves. Non-magical ones, that is.

It's unfortunate that no one seems to use staves as foci.

I'm happy with the magical ranger, as long as it can do its thing, whatever its thing is.

I also think it would be best to get the magicalness from your subclass, so you could cover the non-magical Rangers as well.

Wis rangers do! They really don't want to set the stick down and lose Shillelagh. Or not use a shield. Or have to pick up War Caster.

Or you could just be a Rogue with a background that gives you survival. You now have a "Ranger" without spell casting.

And without the ability to use long bows. Great idea.

I will admit that 4e's arcane implement stuff was pretty cool.

 

[Marc Radle]

I really, REALLY wish fewer people thought that way.

A great many people use 3PP material, I can assure you …

 

[Rabulias]

I'd argue Aragorn then Rexxar, and Sylvanas then Katniss then Drizzt.

 

[TwoSix]

People actually use 3PP? I figured the way people tend to talk around here, 3PP are all completely unbalanced and untested crap that they don't have time to sift through, and instead just wait for WotC to eventually create the rules they want to use.

In all seriousness, not using 3PP or homebrewing yourself is tragically neglectful of one of 5e's greatest strength; its ease in being modified.

The D&D cartoon is so obscure now Hank is well behind Geralt, Jon Snow, Kiba, Shino, Aquaman, Dar, Goblin Slayer, Kraven the Hunter, and maybe MCU Black Panther
