A Ranger Pole-armfighter would have been one of the many pikemen on the battlefield whohappened to get good at the weapon. The second and sixth level abilities areFeats from that article.)( Also, there is a Feat that allows you to deal double damage with a spearwhen *you* charge... )Additionally, if these options are not enough to think about.. each fightingstyle has an alternate ability set you can trade spell casting for. Normallya ranger starts casting spells at 4th level. If you chose an alternate path,the pay off is a bit later. You would gain extra abilities based on yourchosen style at 12th, 14th, 16th, and 18th level.I did not particularly like the Urban Ranger.Wildscape also has variant Druids that are very interesting.</blockquote>
