Why is it 4d8, why is it +20, what is SD, what level is this fighter, etc..Edit - I see from other responses that it's level 20....so not really representative.At 5th level, our Ranger is attacking with dual battleaxes, one of which is +1, for a total of three attacks each round (Regular, Extra Attack, Off-Hand Attack with both the feat and the style to support two-handed attacks), plus Hunter's Mark, plus Colossus Slayer.  So that is 13.5 (1d8 x 3 attacks) + 4.5 (Colossus Slayer 1d8) + 10.5 (Hunter's Mark 1d6 x 3 attacks) +12 (Str 4 x 3 attacks) + 2 (two of the three attacks are magic) for an average of 42.5 each round, or 212.5 damage over 5 rounds.And that is just at 5th level.  At 11th level he will get whirlwind attack so each attack action can be against every creature in 5 feet of him.  And then again at 15th level Stand Against the Tide will usually add another attack as a reaction (though using a foe's stats).  And of course eventually his Strength will reach 20, and he will get a second magic item, and he will get great spells, and neat abilities like hiding as a bonus action, and +4 AC versus subsequent attacks from one creature, etc..Ranger doesn't seem underpowered at all to me.</blockquote>
