Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 6450518" data-attributes="member: 114">It wasn't explicit in the original Strategic Review article, and I imagine that they wouldn't have been specific after they got hauled over the coals for the Ent and Balrog (hence the renaming to treant and balor)The original ranger was clearly based on Aragorn though. Level names included 'strider'. Ranger Lords get use of healing magic and clairvoyance items (athelas and palantir). They also accumulated a band of 2-24 followers at that level, which can be men, elf, half elf, dwarf or hobbit of various levels and some extraordinary followers which were most excellent (golden dragon follower anyone?). I'll try to attach a photo of that page <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH]65237[/ATTACH]They had tracking (which nobody else could get - odd that rogues got niche protection for find traps for so long, but no niche protection for tracking).They were only surprised on a 1 on a 1d6 because of their tracking ability (general awareness?)They added their level to damage against giant class creatures (which ranged from kobolds to giants)</blockquote>
