In those five levels it doesn't look like it's all that great compared o the Ranger - as you get comparable non-magical abilities and don't get spells - which means that you can't use wands.The +4 bonus on trapmaking is essentially a dead level, so the only reason you'd take it is to power through to the next level to get those juicy abilities.... but that level is empty too. After that you get a d4 ambush - and that isn't that great, so there's no reason for you to have walked through a 2 level desert to get there.But it makes a moderately decent 1st level for someone who wanted to be a Ranger but also wanted to trade their animal empathy ability and 2 points of reflex save for 2 hit points (which I personally wouldn't do, but I imagine somebody would).That being said, if you gave it extra abilities at 2nd, 3rd, and 6th level to try to get people to take this class as a single class until they prestige classed out - you probably want to tighten up the wording on Ambush. Right now you can do subdual damage with Ambush unless you also have Sneak Attack, in which case you can't. That's probably not what you meant - but I'm not sure which part of that is the error.-Frank</blockquote>
