[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 6824534, member: 6777052"] Based on what you have told us in this thread, and reading between the lines quite outrageously, I'm going to offer you two suggestions: 1. You need to read the players handbook or, if that is not available, the free-to-download PDFs that contain the same text. You need to read the sections on "How to Play" and the descriptions of the capabilities of each of the classes in your current game, up to level three at least. Ideally, work through it with your son so that he understands as well. The reason I'm suggesting this is that you seemed initially to think that Rangers are essentially invisible and that stealth and hiding are based on Wisdom, both of which tell me that you are playing a game without knowing the rules. It always helps to read the manual :) The [URL="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules"]Basic Rules[/URL] will tell you about the playing rules, Fighters and Rogues but for Rangers you need to supplement that with the Ranger part of the [URL="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/systems-reference-document-srd"]Systems Reference Document[/URL]. They are each extracts from the 5e Handbooks and they are different selections but with a lot of overlap. 2. You need to talk to your brother-as-DM about his apparent favoritism and explain that it is spoiling the enjoyment of the game. He may not realize he is doing it. It may be that his daughter and her friend are playing Rogues-as-Naughty-Children in the gleeful expectation that Daddy will indulge them, and they are getting away with it. I'm treading on thin ice, here, and I might be completely wrong about how your family works, in which case ignore my reasoning but talk to your brother about your concerns anyway. Nothing will get fixed until you do. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
