[QUOTE="pming, post: 6662879, member: 45197"] Hiya! Yeah, the armor thing I was mixing up with Barbarian I think, where they are "better" (especially if they have high dex) wearing lighter armors. The weapons thing though, in the PHB you are correct...but I've always played with Unearthed Arcana as well; in there rangers have specific weapon requirements by level. They are also allowed to specialize as a Fighter in Long, Short or Composite bows, and Light Crossbows (as well as dagger, knife, spear, axe, and any sword-type). I guess that was where I was mentally adding-in the Bow/Missile thing. Anyway...I haven't DM'ed 1e in about three years now, so I'm a bit rusty... and obviously have just gotten used to my "house rule assumptions". *shrug* No matter how you slice it, I still like the idea of a ranged, lightly-armored "wilderness scout" better than a dual-scimitar wielding quisenart of death. ;) ^_^ Paul L.
