Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anime Kidd" data-source="post: 727599" data-attributes="member: 881">I personally like the idea of having the ranger choose between different combat paths. In the WotC snippet, they said that they would have some D20 Modern quirks in 3.5e. My guess is that the ranger is going to have something similar to D20 Modern's Class Talents. With something like that it would make the ranger more versatile than the "Super TWF Fighter".I had an idea for such a ranger class, but it didn't work out to well. Couldn't figure out how to keep it balanced. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Also a few questions regarding the ranger archetype itself.#1 - What was the inspiration for the Ranger into D&D? Was it the early 'Mountain Men' that explored America's west or just the old Woodsman character?#2 - Why did the ranger have TWF at all? I'd figured they be more archers than the now whirling blades of death.And #3 - And why did they have spellcasting? Was it just something to give 'em more abilities or just what?</blockquote>
