Level Up (A5E) Ranger gets a lot of attack bonuses...

[PauloR]

I was just rereading the ranger and I did notice it gets a lot of attack bonuses (from features like hunters target, trained accuracy and adversarial focus, all Stacking if im reading it right). That per se is not a bad thing, I'm just thinking if I can translate rant into damage somehow. Trained accuracy can be made into damage, but anything else I'm missing?

Hunter's Target gives a +1 but will use your bonus action to activate or switch after downing the target.
Trained Accuracy's Accuracy Reserve gives +1, but you can't move.
Adversarial focus gives +1 to hit against your chose adversaries, yes.

The biggest thing that players need to remember is that taking Fighting Style: Archery if they grab a level of fighter DOES NOT give a +2 to hit if you're using Trained Accuracy (its Accuracy Bonus or Reserve)- it gives +2 to damage instead.
It's just a way to consistently get a +2 to hit so you can move etc.

I did notice that last part ( accuracy fighting style changing to +2 damage), which is good, because I'm thinking of ways to get more damage if I hit, not to get more attack. I think I have enough (+3 if I use my bonus action and don't move, and I can choose another +1 to attack or +1d6 to damage with Accuracy bonus. So if im not missing anything:
+3 to attack : BA to activate hunters target, no move and chosen adversary
+(2d6+2) damage: one use Accuracy Bonus, Archery fighting style and Adversarial focus

Not bad at all. And I apply these for both my shots from lvl 5

Note: I am assuming I can use both Accuracy Bonus and Accuracy Reserve on the same turn.

Just remember that stuff like Hunters target and accuracy bonus are finite resources! But yeah if you have a decent wisdom you can "go nova" on a big target. Very nice

If you pick up the Deadeye feat, that's a great way to massively increase your damage output (reduce attack roll by proficiency to get double proficiency in damage rolls).

There's also a Fletcher archetype that gets special arrows.
