[QUOTE="BookBarbarian, post: 7108847, member: 6802553"] The only evidence I've seen that the community at large want's two weapon fighting to be a Ranger thing is a single Drow Ranger that's really a Fighter (honestly he never even casts spells) Heck, Minsc is a Ranger that uses Two Handers. However I will admit have just don't have the data to assume I know what the community at large wants. Regarding not stepping on toes. It wouldn't be stepping on the toes of the Fighter or Paladin any more than the current 5e ranger offerings do. Also how is that the Ranger is stepping on the Fighters toes, but the Paladin is not? Ultimately I think it would be easy just to give Archery style to all Rangers and then let them pick a Melee style than giving them two without a choice. In my mind I would love to see Ranger's from different climates or environments, that specialize in hunting different preys have different styles of hunting/fighting. Fighting styles is only way way of implementing this, but it's probably not the only way, and may not be the best way. It's like the different Witcher Schools in the Witcher Novels/Video Games The Bear School focused on Slow Strong Attacks, and Heavy Armor, while the Cat School Focused on Light Armor and Quick attacks, with the Wolf school being somewhere in between, and the Griffin School focusing on Spells, while the Manticore focused on Alchemy, and the Viper on poison. The last thing I would want is all the Rangers looking and feeling very samey. [/QUOTE]
