[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 6769562, member: 20005"] It feels like a paladin oath to me. Demonslayer's Weapon is essentially a Channel Divinity feature as written anyway. I think that I would use that class for the mechanics you have here. To make it a Ranger archetype, I agree with Macv12 that it needs something to feel like a Ranger. That's a hot button topic at the moment, but maybe something that wears down the demon? An attack that would break its resistances for a time? I don't know how to begin to balance that, but I tend to think of a ranger as kind of harrying his foes instead of going bold and all in which feels like a paladin. The overall balance is hard for me to peg, but it feels a little strong to me. Demonslayer's Weapon is better than the Devotion paladin's Sacred Weapon for an ability of the same level and same idea (make the weapon better). I'm not fluent enough in the higher levels to really critique the later abilities though. [/QUOTE]
