[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8524996, member: 7030563"] The character is defined by the character IMO, not the class written on the sheet and having mechanics that give you options to build to what you want is a good thing. "Ranger" is just a word written on the top of the character sheet that corresponds to a set of mechanics enabling the character you want to play and ensuring balance with other potential builds. You could have made other classes that were similar. It would not be identical. She had expertise in Athletics, D10 hit dice, and extra attack. An Arcane Trickster build with expertise in Athletics, Persuasion, Deception and Intimidation would have been about the same at those 4 skills, would have traded d10 and extra attack for d8 and sneak attack, would have had fewer spells, but different spells and other abilities to make up for it. I played all the way back to basic in the early 80s and I LOVE the freedom that comes with the current rules set. You quoted a post which was a reply to someone who said less options was the answer.
