[QUOTE="JVisgaitis, post: 2882338, member: 4177"] Wow, never read those notes. In reading your post you make a >lot< of valid points. I've been toying around a lot with our new Waywalker class (here's a [URL=http://blog.icirclegames.com/]link[/URL] to my Blog), and having poured over the 3.5 Ranger for the past few weeks as well as a dozen or more other similar classes, here are my conclusions: What do I like? -Lots of skill points -Good Fortitude and Reflex saves -Tracking bonuses -Free Endurance feat What I dislike? -Only light armor -Combat Styles (give us a bonus feats list!) -Hide in Plain Sight -Their role changing from Wilderness Survivalist to Skirmisher -Lack of a base speed bonus (they should be faster in natural terrain than any other class) What am I on the fence on? -Spells (some like them and some hate them. They should be an option.) -Animal Companion (again, something that can be good but for even people that want one they're too weak) -Favored Enemy (I like the concept, just not the application) [/QUOTE]
