I can't really make my Ranger if I have to choose between a companion and spells, for instance.Oof. Yeah. I'd go one step past that, and say Herbalism and one other tool of their choice.Could do, sure. In some ways, the Witcher is a better Ranger than a lot of DnD Rangers.That's fair. It just occurred to me that I'd actually be fine with Rangers mostly having ritual magic and magical class features like better saves against charm and effects that restrain or paralyze, or against fear, etc, maybe tuned to types of creatures in theme. You take Dragons as a favored enemy and gain a bonus to saves against fear and breath weapons, and/or the ability to move half your speed when subjected to such an effect and you save. Add those to the features already mentioned, and I think I'd enjoy that class.</blockquote>
