[QUOTE="Greenfeuer, post: 6810823, member: 6775193"] Hey there people! I am currently in the pogress of making a Halfling Spell-less Ranger. - [URL]http://www.adnd3egame.com/documents/ranger%20variant.pdf[/URL] - The link to variant I am playing. The question is what skills would you advice me to take? I am playing a Ranged/archer focused kind of ranger. [COLOR=#333333]For skills, my first idear was to take Acrobatic through my bagground story "Folk Hero", by switching Acrobatics out with Handle Animal and land vehicle out with gaming dices. - My GM allowed this, so this transfer is all fine.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Anyway! My so faar choices would either beArcrobatics, Althetics, Survival, Stealth, Perception. Or the same, just with Nature instead of either Acrobatics or Althetics.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]I find that the Natural Explorerer will benefit more if I had Nature or Investigation. - Or I could wait thill level 12 and take the Skilled feat. Taking Investigation, Nature, Persuasion.[/COLOR] However my GM lets me add Acrobatics or Atheltics to Scout's instincts, if I want. But but but! Natural Explorer he finds it had to add somthing to, cause its INT or WIS based. However! I suggest he could add DEX but so faar he doesn't seemse like that would be an good idear. So the question is what should I take or how could I modd if I want more out of my class without having to take investigation or Nature. - I find Nature more useful because investigation isn't often tired to favorit terrain stuff.
