Message: <blockquote data-quote="Drowbane" data-source="post: 2842713" data-attributes="member: 23396">Dislikes (in no particular order)* Ranger started in 3.x as a Base class instead of a PrC.* HD nerfed to d8 in 3.5* Animal Companion advances at 1/2 Level.  Compare the power of a Ranger vs the Druid on all merits outside of thier Animal Companions... clearly it is the Ranger that needs the Animal Companion more.  I could see Ranger getting it at level with the Druid getting it as Ranger -3.  (And the Druid would still wtfpwn)* No real niche.1) Archer? The Fighter does it better.2) Dual-wielder? The Fighter still does it better.3) Stealthy Archer-or-Dual-wielder? Sounds like a Rogue.4) Wilderness Warrior? That belongs firmly to the Druid. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Give the Fighter more skill points, and the ability to choose his skills and you can eliminate at least 5 "useless" Base classes.* Ranger Spells (the following annoys me with Paladin, Assassin, Hexblade, etc also)... why is it that a Fighter/Caster hybrid gets unique spells that the True casters of thier type do not get?  Surely clerics should have access to any spell a <s>fighter/cleric-w/stick...</s>...err...paladin gets!* Favored Enemy: Why is this a class feature?!  Racial Hatred  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  as a bonus to killing stuff clearly belongs in the FEATS department!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  * ... I'm sure I'll think of more later <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Likes* Ranger is a damn cool Archetype.... just not one that really needs its own Base class.</blockquote>
