[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5826753, member: 54877"] I would prefer that excellent multiclassing rules be devised from the get go, such that any mix of ranger or druid makes an entirely viable character. (Same thing would apply for ranger/rogue for "urban ranger" or ranger/fighter for a more warrior-oriented approach, but druid mix is the big one.) That way, those who want their particular ranger character to have some spellcasting can set the mix however they want, instead of it being preset by the class. Furthermore, druid players that want to be a bit more warrior-oriented have an easy way to set that aspect however they want, without losing their nature theme. A substantial portion of the things that have been done with rangers (and paladins and bards and so on) in the past, and are pushed for now, are because the multiclassing rules don't work as well as they might. Fix the multiclassing issues, and you solve whole swaths of such problems at once, in ways that satisfy most people. Edit: It need not be exactly "multiclassing," either. If some combination of multiclassing, themes, and other mechanics make ranger/druid in any mix viable, then we are good. I don't care what it is called. [/QUOTE]
