They started getting Cleric spells at about 8th and Magic User spells at the following level, but they got in a wacky progression, with a new level of cleric spell every even level and a new level of wizard spell every odd level after that! My 17th level Ranger was casting up to 4th level Cleric spells and up to 4th level Wizard spells, and was a holy terror.I'm not saying that 1e didn't bring a bit of necessary balance to the class, because it did. But the very first incarnation of the Ranger class got to be a massive spell caster.Cheers</blockquote>
