...THE STUFF

A New Ranger Class

I was always worried about the ranger. The fact that his abilities kick in when the DM wants them to (when the adventure contains his favored enemies) rather than when the player wants them to, like the barbarian, always seemed to me to be a drawback. So, I took a second stab at the ranger.

While I did not change the way favored enemies work in this version, I did add more skill points, bonus feats, better saves, and a slightly more generous spell progression and spell list. There are even some new ranger-specific feats and spells.

By this point, I decided I'd gone a little too far. To scale him back a bit, he uses d8s for hit dice rather than d10s -- a bit of a throwback to the old ranger of 1st Edition. Anyway, here is the class, in PDF format. Have fun.
