[QUOTE="FlimFlam, post: 507356, member: 8567"] Would you consider playing one of the Ranger variants (like the Urban Ranger or Monte Cook's Ranger) or are you going for the standard PHB Ranger? Reason I ask is because you can make an Archer-type ranger (easier to do with Monte's Ranger) and take advantange of Entangle. Entangle your enemies then fire from afar. By the time they break out and get to you, well hopefully they will be dead. Another idea (that I may use myself) is go Ranger/Druid and use spells like Flameblade with your Two-Weapon fighting. That is a 1d8 flaming weapon that is wielded as a scimitar (so no Weapon Finesse, but high crit range) and is made as a melee touch-attack. Of course, it would probably work best if you went full Druid and just took Ambidex and TWF as starting feats. Flameblade is a level 2 spell also, but you also have Shilligh (sp) at first level to fall back on. Use that with a Quarterstaff. [/QUOTE]
