Still, if you're interested, I'd describe it as follows:As for the extra feat progression, I thought it was a little sketchy to give rangers a bonus feat at 3rd level, as well. But I think Monte had the right idea to replace innate two-weapon fighting with bonus feats -- but his feat progression was off. Giving the ranger a bonus feat at 1st level makes them too front-loaded, and giving them one at 2nd level makes taking two levels of ranger way too good an idea for fighters -- a fighter n/ranger 2 doesn't lose any feats, but loses 2 hit points on average and in return gets ambush +1d6, the first level of uncanny dodge, a boost to reflex saves, and a boatload of skills. But I think 4th level is a bit too late (and it also evenly coincides with the ranger's first 1st-level spell). Still, perhaps delaying ranger feat progression a bit might not be a bad idea....</p></blockquote><p></p>
