[QUOTE="Psyduck, post: 424072, member: 2150"] Well now...I must say this is a good discussion so far. Now, I would just like to point out that everyone has compared the Ranger to a fighter, Druid, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard at some point in this thread. No, the Ranger may not be on par with the fighter, but he's really close. No, the Ranger can't sneak as well as a rogue, but he's really close No, the Ranger doesn't have a comparable spell list to the druid, wizard, or Sorcerer, but he does have magic available to him. Seems to me if you want a mix of all of these, you should try playing a Ranger. Animal companion (not as good as druid), warrior hp and BAB (not as many fighting feats as fighter), stealth (not as much as rogue), and spells (similar to Paladin). Can any other class do that??? The closest would be the Bard, and the Ranger's HP and BAB is much better than the bard's, while the bard has no animal companion. Sure, the bard has more spells, but the Ranger is more of a warrior type. Point being: let's not compare a jack-of-all-trades to a specialist. No one is comparing a Bard to a sorcerer or Rogue or anything. We shouldn't do it with the Ranger, for the Ranger is a nice blend of all of it. [/QUOTE]
