It doesn't mention in the class description for the Ranger that their spells are divine. I had to look in the index and it mentions on Page 205 in the Spellcasting section that Rangers use divine magic.So they are divine casters who don't operate under any of the same rules the other divine casters use. Though in practice it basically means what you've written - spontaneous caster vs. preparation based.It seems like it gives Paladins a major boost over Rangers when it comes to spells. In online discussions of Rangers, their spell list, aside from Hunter's Mark, rarely comes up in discussions of Ranger play or balance.I suspect, given the limitations of Ranger spell choice, that there are many Ranger spells that just don't get taken. It's not really choice; it's the illusion of choice. (Like how at level two you get two spells but one of them is almost assuredly going to be Hunter's Mark. So really your choices are Hunter's Mark and one other spell). It's like Rangers are a half-caster where the caster part is so very minor.</blockquote>
