[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9274218, member: 63508"] The harsh truth is that core D&D doesn't offer much for a low magic Ranger. D&D hasbeen a high magic game since 2e and has ranger stamped as magical. Neither TSR nor WOTC are wi;;ing to let Ranger in one magic spell creation. Even in D&D, Rangers are just casting Druid and Wizard spells. If the disqualifiers are [LIST=1] [*]High overt magic with no nonmagic equal [*]Archer based [*]Too weak or situational to be prepared normally without free casting or in-universe suggestion [/LIST] Then 1st level Alarm??

The Official D&D Ranger is high magical, has arrow spells, and at mid to high level abuses scrolls and 1st level slots for niche overt magic. [/QUOTE]
