It's not like 2e and 3e where it was a +1 or +2 bonus to one of fifty choices which strangleheld DMs to invoke.And if it's that much of a problem let the ranger retrain in downtime.This is why WOTC has a bunch of abilities where you as the player can switch your choices with just a long rest or even short rest.The 2024 Ranger is what happens when the DMs and Players don't talk and WOTC has to respond by making an ultra-efficient Ranger that has a guaranteed method of operation and all aspects of of the class which can be suboptimally chosen must be swappable even if unrealistic.This is what we have after generations of old school DMs not being want to be told what to do and new school DMs not being willing to tell people what to do."No you cannot pick favored enemy dragon because they are not enough dragons monsters for me to use and draconic is not a common enough language for it to matter.""You can pick orc or goblin because both of their languages will be commonly spoken throughout the entire campaign and there are orc and goblin characters of various importance"Nope. Just let them spam HM. It works./Rant</blockquote>
