[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3745322, member: 5100"] And, that's why I think the wrong set of spells was dropped between 1E and 2E. They should have kept the magic-user spells and dumped the druid list. The biggest issue with that was that, because they didn't have "ranger" spells and instead relied on lists from other classes, the ranger ended up associated with the only class that had spells that excelled in the wilds. It would have been great if 2E had said "rangers cast druid spells as arcane magic". Assassins get spells because they study them. That's the same reason a "resourceful" ranger would have them -- he studied them. As I said before, though, my preferrence would be to see rangers lose all their spells and have really solid multiclassing rules in 4E. That way, I can have my ranger, you can have yours, and the player in my group who loves rangers but hates spellcasters can have hers. The spells aren't really what define the ranger, anyway. It's the fact that they are pretty darn good fighters. [/QUOTE]
