[QUOTE="Zelc, post: 4582476, member: 40496"] This might belong in houserules. Feel free to fork if you want to talk about this more. I was thinking of doing the following to Rangers: [list] [*]Prime Shot works if you're within 2 squares of the target, and you don't need to be the closest target. [*]Hunter's Quarry only triggers if you're within 3 squares of the target when you attack, and has a range of 3 for the application. [*]Archery path increases Prime Shot range to 3 and Hunter's Quarry range to 5 as well as giving you Defensive Mobility. [*]The Sly Hunter feat should ignore you (you can be within 3 squares of the target as long as no one else is).[/list] No more just standing there plinking away 20' or 40' from the action. The option is still there, but now there's a nerf for being more than 5 squares away and an incentive to be 3 squares or less away and being in some sort of danger. Plus this doesn't affect melee Rangers much. They're going to be close to the enemy anyway to attack, and your Hunter's Quarry doesn't end if you go out of range (you just have to be close to apply it and trigger it) so there's extra action requirement. Same things happen to the Warlock's Prime Shot and Warlock's Curse (might need to put Warlock's Curse range at 5 but that really belongs in Houserules), except there's no boosted range option. They have better defenses so it's probably ok, and most of their powers have low range anyway. [/QUOTE]
