[QUOTE="Rhogar_Rarr, post: 6779733, member: 6801942"] I think it's fair to have his features work. The ranger class gets a lot of flak, but this is exactly the sort of situation where they are supposed to excel. Don't punish the players for picking something that works and playing what they want. As for play experience, my party has a underdark ranger and it has worked out fine. Yes we can travel fine and outrun the drow, but there are plenty of other deadly things in the underdark. Our DM throws at least 1 deadly thing at us everyday. Despite quick travel speeds and good tracking plenty of people (NPCs & PCs) have died and we really haven't made it very far. In game time we've only been travelling for maybe a week? We haven't even made it to a city yet. Having an underdark ranger does not break the campaign. Just to note: We're level 5-6 and on the dark lake. Not sure what the expected level is, but encounters and progress vary greatly between DMs. We escaped the prison in week 1 and some other groups that escaped in week 3 have already made it to a few different towns. I believe they are lower levels as well. [/QUOTE]
