[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3745266, member: 5100"] Myself, I agree. I've always viewed rangers as either civilized people who choose the wilderness or tribal folk with a martial focus. Either way, they are lightly armored warriors who get tough by enduring the elements and are generally hard to kill because of it. They are also extremely resourceful, which explains the skills and the spells. They don't get spells because they like fluffy bunnies, though -- it's because they look for any advantage in their struggles. If 4E has effective multiclassing between casters and non-casters, I think the ranger's spells would be best left to multiclassing and the option of the player. There seem to be a fair number of people who look at the ranger as either glorified scouts or the homocidal hippies, though. Personally, I figure the best time to use a ranger as a scout is if you're explicitly planning on killing something. Otherwise lead it to the rogues. IMO, rangers are more likely to be at odds with a druid than be their buddies. [/QUOTE]
