[QUOTE="Mongoose_Matt, post: 993886, member: 239"] >>>The Quintessential Ranger: Fully 3.5? Does it include alternative core classes ala Monte Cook or the Mercenaries book by AEG? It is indeed fully 3.5, and has been written by Ian Sturrock who has done a superb job of expanding the Ranger and giving a wealth of new options. We stayed away from the alternative core classes, as most people seem to treat them as 'unofficial', though you will find many of the options and abilities are just as easily applicable to them as to WotC's version. >>>Ultimate Prestige Classes II: What way does this differ from the first one?
