[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 5892781, member: 128"] I see a Ranger's wilderness skills as the primary schtick. In the separation of activities as combat/exploration/interaction that's been discussed, the ranger's main strength is in exploration, specialized in a wilderness setting. A thief, on the other hand, is the exploration specialist for indoor, urban, or artificial dungeon settings. The rest I can take or leave. Bows make sense as a hunting tool, and light armor makes sense because traveling untracked wilderness in heavy armor is unnecessarily exhausting. I'd be happy to see two weapon fighting and favored enemies go away; I don't think they fit. I'm not really a fan of spells for rangers either. It seems to me that starting in 1E certain abilities that made sense were crammed into spell format because that's how the other abilities were written. I'm fine with some mystical abilities at high level, but I'd rather see them in skill form, with a nonmagical basis. [/QUOTE]
