[QUOTE="Rocker26a, post: 9256918, member: 7042495"] My thing with (the various iterations of) Nature's Veil is, it's objectively better than Hide in Plain Sight, but it's still a can of worms unto itself. Invisibility without actually hiding is often like that. Gloomstalker's Umbral Sight is the same way. And also, this is even more of a me thing, but... I'm less keen on out-and-out Invisibility for Ranger? I like the Batman thing for them. Where they're [I]that[/I] good at playing against a creatures' senses that they may as well be invisible, but there's nothing directly magical or supernatural about it. See when I was first getting into D&D, that's what I thought Song of Rest would be like, and it would just be one amongst a host of abilities you could choose from. As is, it almost seems like the last vestigial remnant of that sort of idea. Y'mean from the Revised Ranger? That was the last UA to actually use that feature, right? I do like the Revised Ranger Natural Explorer! I like that it provides more direct combat buffs that you can reasonably spin as being within the Ranger's wheelhouse. [/QUOTE]
