ThenFrom what we've seen so far, most of the feats required in 3e to make a "style" like TWF or archery viable just won't be necessary in 5e.
Themes - which are a long collection of feats - would not be the way to do Styles.

I think of the ranger as a few things.
Dexterity driven. (including hiding and nimbleness...from this maybe the two fighting styles mentioned, but only peripherally).
Not the point I was going for, I'm afraid. I wasn't arguing that fighting styles like "specialized in longsword & shield" or "specialized in TWFing" should be built into a class either. Rather, I was arguing that such generic 'styles' weren't worthy, by themselves, of being a Theme.
The strange thing is, of late I've been thinking of the ranger in terms of the US military organization, the Rangers. With both John Rambo (his character was supposed to be a Vietnam era Ranger, correct?) and Faramir of the LotR series in mind.
When you think of a ranger, what archtypes, if any, come to mind?
