[QUOTE="zealot73, post: 445248, member: 8552"] There was a letter in Dragon Magazine a while ago where a guy was dissing the Ranger Class because compared to all of the other classes it has the fewest abilities. They don't compare to any of the other warrior classes because they don't get the Fighter's feats or the Paladin or Barbarian's abilities. He basically said that if you want to play a "Ranger" why not simply play a Druid and take Tracking as your first level feat since it isn't a class exclusive feat AND druids have Wilderness Lore as a class skill too. They don't have near the skill points as a Rogue and they don't have the saves or abilities of a Monk by a long shot. The Bard is the closest in power but they start casting spells earlier than Rangers AND they get a better selection. We won't even go into the Sorcerer, Wizard, or Cleric. Anyway... I thought I'd see if any of you have any thoughts on redeeming qualities of Rangers and why anyone should play one. [/QUOTE]
