The Ranger will emphasize STR and/or DEX and WIS.  The Warlock, CON and/or CHA and INT.If you just look at thier stats, they couldn't easily be more different.  One's strangely compelling and/or possessed of inhuman vitality, and cunning or even brilliant.  The other evinces cat-like grace or bear-like strength and the quiet awareness of the hunter or zen master.  Then, one is an arcanist who makes freakish things happen to enemies he curses, while the other is a woodsy archer or warrior who tracks, stalks and kills like a predator at one with the wilderness.So, /unless/ you're getting hung up on fairly specific mechanics, I don't see where you're getting samey from.Hey, if the mechanical differences aren't that important to you, then the mechanical similarities shouldn't be, either.  You should be focusing on the stuff, above, instead of the bland mechanical fact of being a ranged striker.</blockquote>
