While I like ranger type characters, the ranger class is the one that could never justify its own existence or explain it’s niche. It’s always been done better by a multiclass fighter/rogue.
HubertManne ( @HubertManne@kbin.social ) 5•10 months agoI assume we are just talking d&d because rangers are awesome in other games.
GolGolarion ( @GolGolarion@pathfinder.social ) 6•10 months agoLegolas cosplayers are suffering in Faerun but THRIVING in Golarion. I got a cool lizardman ranger who teleports into the sky and sends out trained pigeons with Entanglement bombs like some sort of feathery rennaissance era bomber plane.

neptune ( @neptune@dmv.social ) English2•10 months agoI’m just discovering that now. Did levels 3-10 as a hunter ranger. I definitely made some sub optimal character sheet decisions.
Way more recently I played a level 8 fighter/rogue. Now, Ranger definitely has some cool spells, but in combat? The Rogue/Fighter multiclass is way better.

Ophy ( @ophy@lemmy.nz ) 7•10 months agoIt really is a bizarre niche, some awkward middle ground between multiple classes. Not as fightery as a fighter, not as druidy as a druid, not as rogue-y as a rogue, but somehow trying to balance all three.
At least when Paladin tries to wiggle into a similar gap, it brings some unique and useful kit to the table, but ranger is really lacking in that regard.
