An invisible character with non-detection running can't reliably be detected by See Invisibility. It also confounds detect alignment, detect undead, deathwatch, detect magic, etc. It's not a spell that'll be useful in every campaign but it can be put to great effect.Freedom of Movement is much better than you make it out to be as well. Immunity to holds, web, slow (a very important one), solid fog/acid fog/cloudkill movement reduction, and the ability to function normally underwater are quite good.Rangers also have very good elemental protection spells on their list. Resist Elements is a first level ranger spell and protection from elements a 2nd level one.All told, I think the PHB ranger spell list holds up to the paladin spell list fairly well. Entangle to bless weapon. Protection from elements to Heal Mount. Polymorph Self to Holy Sword. Hunter's Mercy stacks up to Divine Sacrifice and Zeal too.The ranger spell list may not be as good as the bard, cleric, druid, sorceror, or wizard lists but ranger's aren't primarily spellcasters.</blockquote>
