[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8380558, member: 22779"] Because you are ignoring the context. The challenge was in the time limit. That the party needs to get to place X in time to stop the ritual. The presence of the ranger completely removes the challenge. They arrive, not in the nick of time, but, with gobs of time to spare and thus the time limit was meaningless. As in the presence of the ranger completely bypasses the exploration challenge. Note, "stopping the ritual" isn't part of the challenge. The challenge is to get to place X before the clock runs out. Well, having the ranger means that we don't even really have to hurry. We've got so much time now, that the clock is irrelevant. Thus, the major point that has repeatedly been brought up. The existence of various character powers and whatnot that bypass or render trivial, exploration challenges. [/QUOTE]
