I always interpreted Ranger not as a ranged attacker, but more like the guy who is "ranging", that being patrolling or crossing vast distances. This would more equate him/her as a member of either a border force/police/militia or an elite military unit specialized in guerrilla warfare. Over the years DnD has given us several different ways to go about this, especially with the 2E kits, but for my own flavor in this case i went with the "justifier". Here is the description of the class in the book:"Some expeditions are so demanding and some foes so dangerous that they require the attention of highly trained specialist whose combat skills far exceed those of the typical ranger. Enter the justifier a master tactician whose military instincts, fighting versitality and steely nerves place him in the first rank of elite warriors...... He may organize guerrilla forces and lead them into hostile territories, he may stage reconnaissance operations to gather information on enemy strength and logistics, he may execute strikes against monster lairs, rescue hostages or eliminate tribal leaders or spell casters "</blockquote>
