[QUOTE="hejtmane, post: 6744441, member: 6799371"] [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?471482-Why-Would-I-Play-a-Ranger/page5[/url] I talk about it here on a Fighter/ranger build and someone said while that is level 20 and commented about early game example level 9 I replied to that as well. That is not even counting a ranger/rogue build which would be more fun imo than a straight ranger build and maybe more damaging with colossal slayer + sneak attack + hunters mark (yes ninja sniper for fun) Here is what i posted on it Would not a Fighter/Ranger build be better because with 11 levels of fighter you get 3 attacks with colossal slayer 17/3 Still get 3 1st level spells ; you would get more skill points; two action surges at that point still leverage Colossus slayer 1d8 and hunters mark instead of a 4th attack (this is assuming 20th level for max) Plus fighter can go champion extra crit or Battle Master still has a few things that work or maybe the new purple night depending on how the sub category plays out (eldritch does not make sense to me) Plus 2 fighting styles Archery and then pick defense and add +1 defense The only thing I see that a fighter/ranger misses out on vs the High ranger is volley in certain situation it is great and Hunters defense (now this skill is very nice) I mean I could be wrong but from the looks of it I rather go multiclass ____ Even if we are talking level 8 This is what i do at the early levels it makes sense go ranger ; then 5 fighter levels then 2 more ranger. Then finish out fighter the rest of the way (Openign Ranger for dex saves) at level 9 you are sitting pretty. 9th level would give the 2 attacks, colossal, 2 fighting styles, action surge, second wind and two ability score improvements and 3 1st level ranger spells all by level 9 [/QUOTE]
