He was sneaky, he was alert, could track, strong,...Didn't go the tank route, but rather the support/scout route. I think this is where the ranger should be. Seems to me that the ranger and the rogue are different sides of the same coin. Rogue for the city, rangers for the wild. (Of course you can have urban rangers and wilderness rogues, but generally speaking, this is true.)With that attitude in mind, INT becomes a much more important ability for the ranger. Perhaps more so than WIS. For spells, WIS can be raised slowly over the levels. INT's +X skill points will outweigh any WIS bonus to spot and search in the long run.As far as ability importance, I'd rank them like this:1 DEX2 INT3 CON4 STR / WIS6 CHASimilar to what I think my rogue's abilities would work out as, but less concerned with dealing with other people.That's how I suggest you play a ranger. Like a rogue, but for the woods.</blockquote>
