Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 652478" data-attributes="member: 114">I think this is rather underpowering the character in the swap-out front.He gets some useful defensive abilities and a bit of extra mobility but losing all of the classes offensive punch (the favoured enemy).I'm not familiar with the "hallowed might" ranger, but if I compare this character with the Barbarian (no rage, lower HD, better skillset, no damage resistance, some paltry spells) he doesn't look very appealing.As a thought experiment, if the character was multiclassed as a Ranger/Barbarian (e.g. rgr6/bar2) then at 8th level he would have uncanny dodge, fast movement, two favoured enemies and all the other ranger goodies, and probably isn't even shafted on the important skills front since the Barb has a lot of good ones. Plus he gets to rage every so often, which is always a help!If he continued along this route, by 13th level he could be rgr8/barb5, gets the uncanny dodge (can't be flanked), a few more spells and hit points etc.He then continues as ranger until he reaches rgr15/barb5, has four favoured enemies, rage, uncanny dodge, fast movement, ranger skills pretty much where he wants them etc. etc.So at the end of this thought experiment, my judgement would be that the proposed character would be considerably weaker than an existing multiclass.Would you consider allowing him to use the Monk movement rate instead, perhaps?Cheers</blockquote>
