[QUOTE="Uller, post: 13002, member: 413"] I play in two games and not only PC has just a single level in Ranger. In the game I DM, I'd allow it because I don't see taking a single level in a class to flush out a character concept as abuse...it is the POINT of 3e...No one in my game WANTS to be a dual wielder except the pure ranger who wants to be very good at fighting and have an animal companion as well. Reason to stick with ranger: A character concept that has maxed BAB for his level(so you can eventually get 4 attacks per round...5 with rapid shot or even 6 with your off-hand), maxed spot and listen, the ability to cast some simple wilderness spells at lower/mid levels and some down right useful spells at high levels, have an animal companion of hit dice equal to your level, the ability to use all martial weapons, light armor and shields, the ability to track and still have all the other feats that are your due, the ability to study specific enemies and learn to exploit their weaknesses to greater and greater degree. There is no class that can do this but the pure ranger. The class is fine from a game mechanic point of view. The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't fit everyone's view of what a ranger should be from a RP POV...(including mine, BTW). [/QUOTE]
