They could have an owl serving a ranger as punishment for biting a prissy nobleman's annoying wife and then used strictly for scouting. Fantasy literature can occasionally have some really stupid concepts and as a fantasy game player it is my obligation to to occasionally add to that stupidity. For the record and ignoring some other details, owls can be used for good scouts. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />As for bunny hugging hippies, rangers are trackers and warriors who operate in the wilderness. Warriors use horses and dogs as examples already. Rangers just more options and better versions. If a person wants a ranger who doesn't do much fighting there are some off-the-wall flavour options. Birds of prey might be typical choices, like a bloodhawk, or something more tricksy like a ferret (just use weasel), or humorous like a faithful pack mule or pony.People argue best this optimal that all the time on the internet but the game will still be fun and playable if you decide to be different. Think optimization of character over optimization of mechanics in a case like that and role with it. Yes, that was a terrible pun.</blockquote>
