It was effective in the system it was in, it had terrific mechanics like a massive damage bonus against "giant class" enemies (which actually encompassed A LOT of different enemy types), enhanced ability to surprise enemies and to avoid surprise, it actually did the warrior with a smattering of spellacsting thing well, and most importantly it wasn't married to any one fighting style like later editions would do with TWF and later archery.I will say that, when taken in a vacuum, the 3.5 Ranger is well-designed. Key words, when taken in a vacuum. It's too bad that at the end of the day, it was still a martial and a half-caster in a system that was very unkind to both of those character types.</blockquote>
