i agree, but what makes Wolverine and Bardin rangers? imo they’re more like barbarian and fighter
Bardin’s job was literally ranger.
cool, didn’t know that
thanks!
An occupation and a class are not the same.
Either it’s actual wolverines or I need to read more comics.
I think op is just assuming rangers are the only ones who can track people, which Logan is skilled at.
To be fair, Aragorn was no slouch with that bow when they were fighting their way out of the Mines of Moria. Maybe he was an archer all along who just got overshadowed by Legolas and spec’d late into longsword to be a good party member.
Many people see the word “range” inside of “ranger” and mindlessly assume that it must mean they do ranged attacks. But actually, the word ranger is originally the past tense of the word “ringer”, so they’re the guy who you temporarily brought into your party to win some bet, but then they stuck around afterwards and became a permanent member.
not sure if you were being serious or something, but that’s straight incorrect.
You don’t need to look up any etymology because the word “ringer” is plainly a noun and so it doesn’t have a past tense. I really thought the joke was so obvious that it wouldn’t need any explanation, especially when posting to a memes community that would be expecting jokes.

Poe’s Law, friend.
I would sometimes shake things up and go mostly staff with a sling. The sling is hilariously entertaining on many fronts. It’s not really a big damage weapon, but with called shots life gets fun. Headshots? Yup. Knocking out guards? Indeed. Breaking that vial of potion to release the spell/fog/acid? Bingo.
Sneaking a ranged weapon into town? Have fun with that heavy crossbow, I’m just wrapping the sling around as a belt. Ammo? Sling stones are fabricated, but any old rock can improvise.
While the longbow / longsword ranger is just classicly awesome, a sling / (something) is worth giving a try.
Next up: atlatl barbarian!
Rangers should have things that help at range. Ergo, Sorcerers and Wizards that cast Magic Missile are rangers. 😌
Imma make a PC that’s a Yosemite National Park Ranger who is very confused about how they ended up in Faerun.
I never missed a shot with magic missile. Can your ranger say the same?
Yes. My ranger has also never missed a shot with magic missile.
*ahem*
^RANGERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RACIST^
That’s elves, and dwarves, and humans, and orcs, and goblins.
Halflings and gnomes are above such things.
Every race has prejudices. Rangers have Favored Enemy mechanics
Would they be worth making a favored enemy if they were inferior? Obviously not! It’s a compliment, really.
Mmmmm yes, you see gnomes are the REAL racists or else I wouldnt be so good at murdering them 😂
Just ask a gnome what they think about kobolds, see how that goes
That doesn’t count because they’re right
Now I want a green stuff blanket too.
