[QUOTE="Skarsgard, post: 6663128, member: 6787159"] Mostly I like the Ranger but there are a few things I would like to see to give them to make less dependant on Favoured Enemy and terrain types. I appreciate that most people seem to have their own mental version of what a Ranger [I]should[/I] be. My observation were based on the fact that I could make Rogues as better outdoors characters than Rangers. So my proposals would be: Replace Favoured Enemy with Know you Enemy. [B]Know your Enemy[/B] When a Ranger tracks or observes and enemy for more than 1 hour, they gain insights into the character of the enemy and gain advantage against their foe in their next battle. The foe could be 1 creature or any number up to their Ranger level. Modifiy Natural Explorer to now be: [B]Natural Explorer[/B]: Ranger has expertise in Survival and Nature checks. remove all reference to favoured terrain. For the Beastmaster I'd recommend adding Expertise Animal Handling and a no Command required for the companion to attack etc. Have the animal companion bonded to the Ranger and able to "sense" how best to help him in the situation they are in and be able to do any attack they are able to do.
