Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 5796920" data-attributes="member: 1165">They are not. Most of Aragorn's traits are Aragorn's traits, not ranger traits.If you wanted to design a Middle-earth ranger, I would suggest doing up a "generic" ranger, and than Aragorn. This would clearly show the difference.I agree with the first two, but not the last. While you couldn't belong to the "prestige group" Rangers of the North if you were evil, I see no reason why you couldn't be an evil Ranger of Ithilien (just don't kill orc kids in front of the commander), or play a character with that skill set who is evil. (Even in a campaign where evil PCs are banned, such as mine, I wouldn't prohibit evil NPC rangers.)This!At the risk of public mockery, since it's not written well enough for public presentation, I have actually designed in 4e a 6th-level and 16th-level version of Aragorn, if anyone cares to see. (These are "monsters" without good Dunedain powers but could conceivably be converted into companions.) Alas, I don't have a "generic Ranger of the North" for comparison purposes, so maybe posting those stat blocks are pointless.I hate the connection between rangers and dual-wielding, but Aragorn did dual-wield once... when facing the Nazgul the first time, he fended them off with a pair of flaming brands of wood. I saw nothing to suggest that was his favored fighting style, and I don't even know if he hit them (or needed to do so; the Nazgul were extremely afraid of fire).</blockquote>
