They are to be avoided. But you're missing the point. If you're gonna say a fantasy ranger may stumble upon a creature large like an ogre, guess what?  Real life people stumble on grizzlies too. So that logic doesn't hold water that a fantasy ranger would need heavy armor and weapons because they might face a huge enemy. And even knowing that one could run into a grizzly, mountain men and scouts didn't go around in body armor and huge bulky weapons.  Basically what we have here is people who want a ranger to be heavily armed and armored but can't give examples of rangers actually doing that, real life or fantasy, contrasted to an entire list of real life and fantasy examples where rangers and scouts are lightly armed and armored. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷🏼‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fc-2642.png" title="Man shrugging: medium-light skin tone    :man_shrugging_tone2:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging_tone2:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />What you want are fighters who go outside.  Not rangers. Not by what the word actually means, or what the class description says. Or the inspiration behind the class.</blockquote>
