Message: <blockquote data-quote="Witness" data-source="post: 602712" data-attributes="member: 1500">I suggest consoldating these abilities so the Rangerr recieves a bonus to cerrtain skills related to tracking, stealth, perception, etc., in his favored terrain.  The bonus to these skills should increase whenever he acquires anothe favored terrain.  As written, the +1 bonus becomes considerably less useful as the Ranger goes up in level.  Also, perception is more than just sight, and a cumulative bonus to Listen, Spot, Search, and Wilderness Lore is ,IMHO, more perceptive. This ability isn't really all tthatt much better than Tracking.  Also, how could this ability function in the Desert?  In the Swamp? And why can Tremorsense let you dettect someone standing still (No movement no tremors, no Tremorsense)? An increased ability to determine attitude or mental state makes more sense and is usueable in any terrain (see those track there?  That Goblin was afraid for his life.  See those over there?  That one was shot with an arrow in the left leg.  A Poison arrow.  He'll be dead by moring). Why are Ranger's more in tunewith the world than Druids?  Out of all the potential Nature-Based spells out their, why this one?  Also the casting time and the ability to use it only once per week certainly limit the usefulness of this ability. While many of the feats you presented are quite powerful, their usefulness is limted by the fact that they only apply against one type of favored enemy.  Your Rangerr gives up spells, stacking bonuses to skills and damage against favored enemies.  He gains a good Ref save, and some feats and special abilities that are either too weak or too limited. All in all, your Ranger is less powerful than the PHB Ranger.</blockquote>
