[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 422547, member: 3570"] Please. A Ranger not fighting with two weapons is akin to a Wizard not bothering with a familiar. An ignored perk yes, but hardly the signature ability of the class. They're [b]feats[/b] for crying out loud. A Ranger with a bow can slaughter an equal level fighter by only using [i]Entangle[/i] or [i]Hunter's Mercy[/i]. A 1st level human Fighter who spent a feat on Track now has two feats to spend. A 1st level human Ranger gets Track for free, has two feat slots to spend, double the skill points and all the important Class Skills. Beyond 1st level, the Ranger has spells, spells, spells. For any extra damage the Fighter does, the Ranger [i]entangles[/i] him, [i]tree strides[/i] away, [i]cures[/i] himself, then blasts him with a few [i]Hunter's Mercy's[/i]. If by some chance the Fighter gets tricky with a bow of his own, the Ranger has [i]Wind Wall[/i]. For the epic Ranger, every [i]Hunter's Mercy[/i] or natural critical means a Fort save or die. Epic Spells aren't even out of reach. Forget the TWF. When it comes to archery, the Ranger has the Fighter beat. You just can't beat a natural 20 on demand. As for single weapon melee fighting, just pick the best feat tree and go with it, then use skills and spells to maximum advantage. [/QUOTE]
