[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 448552, member: 1122"] In my latest alt.ranger I use Hunter's mercy too only I call it Marksmanship and it you don't have to activate it until you know you've hit something! I don't think there is a huge problem with combining this with the Deepwood Sniper. I've seen more devasting destruction cause by a guy a spiked chain ;) I love these repeated ranger-threads. If I was working at WotC I'd proclaim an Alt. Ranger Competition and promise to publish the best one. I mean they would get more proposals to this competition that they got to that campaign setting thingy! This is my latest ranger; I call it the nimrod and I think it's pretty neat. Read on.
