For example, assume I want to fight with a single bastard sword...As a ranger, I'd probably do something like:Human Ranger, Str 16Dex 16Con 13Int 10Wis 14Cha 8At-Will: Nimble Strike Hit and RunTwin Strike (useful for ranged attacks).Feats: Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword)Lethal HunterPowers:Encounter: Evasive StrikeDaily:Hunter's Bear TrapAdmittedly, Hunter's Bear Trap is the only Daily Power he can choose, but he has 2 decent encounter powers (Evasive Strike and Fox Cunning), and the same is true at 3rd level (Disruptive Strike, that I think is great, personally...YMMV, and Shadow Wasp Strike).You're the rough equivalent of the low armored, spring attacking fighter in 3.x, and Defensive Mobility is really helpful for a highly mobile character, whether you're using a bow or a sword.And you're not bad with a bow, either.Take "student of the sword" at 2nd level, grab the multiclass feats ASAP, and straight into Pit Fighter or Kensai at 10th level.Is he as good as a TWF ranger? I don't think so. OTOH, the TWF ranger is probably the best striker in the book, but if you compare him to a rogue or a fighter I'd say he's not too bad.Furthermore, it's not really a "cookie cutter" build, so it seems that while there are far less options as far as character creation goes, we can still think outside the box and create something different from time to time ( and things will only improve as more books are released)Just my two cents <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
