[QUOTE="Rushbolt, post: 9543529, member: 7037578"] I believe the best way to fix the Ranger is to really lean hard into WIS bonuses being applied on almost anything. The Ranger's power has less to do with STR, DEX, or even CON and more to do with with their ability to make the right decision at all times. They can withstand the mental stress resulting from the uncertainty and danger of being totally self-reliant. By making more class features benefit from WIS you get away from the DEX-based Ranger persona that is ruining the flexibility of the class. It also corrects the MAD problem the Ranger exhibits at this time. I'm not saying Ranger's should get something similar to the Paladin's Aura of Protection, but there needs to be enough reasons to raise your WIS to 20 before you even worry about raising your attack stat. The Ranger may not end up being the highest DPR at that point, but emphasizing that their mental defenses are much higher than a Fighter or Rogue will help reinforce a different identity. [/QUOTE]
