Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gladius Legis" data-source="post: 8073081" data-attributes="member: 68748">The point is that a Rogue who wants to hone their "Ranger-like" skills can be better at them than the Ranger is.First of all, even at higher levels many creatures in the MM travel don't fly, swim, teleport or burrow.Second of all, I'm reading the Tracking section of the DMG right now. Basically, the only situation that tracking is impossible is if the DM rules that it is.Exploration is only as "bad" as the DM allows it to be. It's the pillar most ignored or handwaived by most DMs.But a well-designed class works in any game, regardless of what pillars the DM emphasizes or doesn't. The fact the Ranger doesn't work without the exploration pillar fleshed out (and really doesn't work well even with it) is a fundamental issue with the class, not the game.</blockquote>
