There ought to be dimishing returns. Higher-level rangers might be able to spot smaller-but-maybe-more-dangerous features.Ultimately, it's an interesting idea but not something I'd want in its current form. Instead, how about a random table in the DMG for generating odd features by-terrain-type, and give the ranger advantage to perceive any such features automatically in their favored and with advantage outside of it? That way non-rangers can take advantage of the features too (which is logical), DMs get some of their work done for them, and rangers have a toy to interact with. Win-win-win.I've been trying lately to include more environment features in my game, at least one per encounter area (kind of like a FATE "Aspect"), for the players to interact with if they want. A well, a cliff, a chandelier, a small barn, etc. Wouldn't hurt to have a list of such things readily available.</blockquote>
