[QUOTE="Gladius Legis, post: 8073930, member: 68748"] Except in literally the descriptions of the skills in the PHB. And a lot don't. To insinuate that Expertise in Survival would be entirely useless past a certain point is disingenuous. "Can." Not "must." Which literally every other class that can cast spells has. The Ranger isn't special here. You don't need to reinvent anything. You just have to actually develop it in the campaign. Combat and social are easier to develop because inserting a few monsters or NPCs requires less effort than making out entire maps of places with hazards, traps, places to hide and take cover, climb, swim and such. Actually, giving Rangers Expertise in Stealth and Perception they can use everywhere, and not just in one specific type of terrain, would definitely fix a problem with the class. Not the entire class, but definitely one part of it. If the class isn't properly functional except for one specifically designed type of campaign, then the flaw is in the class. That you can't simply say play the Ranger as designed is a problem with the Ranger as it's designed. [/QUOTE]
