[QUOTE="Bupp, post: 7680329, member: 6784990"] The real issue with the ranger is that "what is a ranger" has changed so often, it's hard to make everyone happy. I think they need to dilute it down to a base core and give more options with subclasses. Somewhere between this version, the PHB version and the "Ranger with No Spells" from the previous UA is a good workable ranger. I like the 2d6 hit dice with light armor. Tough, but with a lower AC will take a beating, but getting 1d6+Con when spending hit dice on a short rest shows resilience. A barbarian has damage resistance. A rogue uncanny dodge. The ranger self heals faster. The light armor fits the mountain man image as well. I like ambuscade. Rangers hit first. I like the Skirmisher's Stealth as well, at least in theory. Needs cleaned up a bit. The Spirit Companions are a different take on the Beastmaster. I like it, but it doesn't really scratch the animal companion itch. Maybe just take that bit and throw it on to the beastmaster. [/QUOTE]
