First off, I'm unclear why this hypothetical ranger is rocking a 14 dex at 5th level. As others have said, it should be 18 (15 + racial mod +2 from level 4). Second, you didnt even read colossus slayer. It's not only on large targets as you assume, its on any wounded target. I've dogged some on the ranger, as I feel one of their paths (beastmaster) is underpowered unless you pick the snake option, and their level 1 features are mostly a ribbon ability in many games, but they arent as bad as you are making them out to be. WOTC is aware many are not satisfied with the ranger, as it received the lowest marks in their surveys, and is working to improve them.My tweaks would be as follows - Give the player their choice of a tool proficiency. Let colossus slayer apply to each attack, rather than once per turn. Move the bonus attack from dual wielding to the attack action, freeing up their bonus action for spellcasting. Remove spells known entirely and grant them all of them, as Paladin's dont have to deal with that crap. Add 2 cantrips at 1st level and scale up to 4 at 16th level. At 17th level let them cast Hunter's Mark as a 4th level spell once per short rest.</blockquote>
