Message: <blockquote data-quote="loisel" data-source="post: 4267779" data-attributes="member: 10135">Hello,I've written a Ranger Guide up to Level 20. I think it's too long to post as a message on this board (although maybe in several posts...) So I've made a PDF, here: <a href="http://www.math.temple.edu/~loisel/ranger-guide.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.math.temple.edu/~loisel/ranger-guide.pdf</a>Please give me comments and suggestions.Here is a short extract:Particularly effective combinationsIn this section, we assume a base Str (or Dex) of 18, at level 20 (with stat bumps, that means that your Str or Dex is 23). We list some especially good combinations. In all cases, we give AB=attack bonus and the BASE=1[W]+stat damage, as well as some interesting power uses. We assume +4 gear. To give an idea of the damage, we give the damage range for Attacks on the Run (AotR) if all the iterated attacks hit. We assume Weapon Focus with the relevant weapon (which grants +2 to damage).Elf: the racial reroll works particularly well with Blade Cascade. The stat bonuses are very judicious.Bugbear or Minotaur Melee Ranger/Kensai with Bastard Sword: AB=+24, BASE=1d12+16. With Power Attack and Back to the Wall, AB=+23, BASE=1d12+21. AotR=48-114 damage.Misc. race, Melee Ranger, Pit Fighter: AB=+23, BASE=1d10+12. If you spend an action point and turn on Power Attack, assuming Back to the Wall, for the rest of your turn, BASE=1d10+27. AotR=60-114. OW! With Bugbear/Minotaur, you get 60-126.</blockquote>
