[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 8709107, member: 57112"] Thread title. We all like to talk about the Ranger. How it's crap, how it lacks an identity, how it's great, how it's supposed to have magic, how it used to be crap but now it's great, how it's perfectly fine, how its identity is clear, how its not supposed to be magical, how it used to be great but now it's crap, the usual. With all the polls going on, let's have a knockdown dragout [S]fight[/S] poll over what the actual identity of the Ranger is! Pick the three most central ideas! Mix and match to make your perfect Ranger! It's just like Build-a-Bear, except instead of a teddy bear filled with love, you're making Drizzt. Build-a-Drizzt. Oh and this is a (+) thread for the following reasons: (a) It's actually worthwhile to figure out what a [S]Drizzt [/S]Ranger is supposed to look like. Especially with a half edition on the horizon; half-editions love tinkering with Rangers! (b) This thread isn't about critiquing any individual iteration of the class. This isn't about whether 6e droolz and 2.5 rulez or whatever. Argue [I]aspects, [/I]not editions (c) Keep it civil. All ideal [S]Rangers[/S] Drizzts are valid. Everything listed has been a part of some kind of Drizzt at some point or another, and that Drizzt has at lease one mother who loves him. Advocate for your position, don't tear other factors down. Let me know if I've missed anything. Or you know what? Just throw out any random idea. "I think Rangers brew potions!" "I think Rangers should be psionic!" [S]"I think dogs should vote!"[/S] Whatever it is, I'll toss it on the poll. The court of public opinion* will decide. [B][SIZE=6][B][I]NEW OPTIONS WILL BE ADDED![/I][/B][/SIZE][/B] Please change your votes if you like some of the stuff others have added better. I'm not going to stop you!
