[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9074516, member: 6801228"] 1) That Cesar Milan dominant energy/pack leader stuff is bull-crap and doesn't work. 2) Why can't the druid do that? Or, better yet, why can't the druid do that WITHOUT magic? Like, this entire conversation is about how Ranger's shouldn't need magic spells, that they should just do all of these things with pure skill and know-how. So if an angry animal comes up to them, they can calm it down with their special ability that allows them to charm animals within 30 ft by grunting angrily or whatever. But it is just a skill, they learned in the woods. Druids LIVE there. Druids are one with nature. But they need to use magic to show they are friends? They CAN'T do this with skills? Because the alpha-male ranger who chews hard tack is dominating nature instead of seeking understanding and cooperation, so they can befriend animals with skill and the druid needs magic? Why?! Also, like, yes I'm aware of names. Felines are hunters. Slayer is just a word for killing, which is a predator thing. How is a swarm keeper different than a queen bee? Warden literally means protector. Like, they are fun names, but they don't paint the Ranger as a chaining down nature and subjugating it to the will of civilization. That's not what the class fantasy IS. [/QUOTE]
