The Adaptive Ranger The Adaptive Ranger This version of the ranger combats this issue by designing a Yet Another Ranger Fix variation of the Favored Enemy feature that has more The ranger has been through many iterations; some from universal applications. Inspired by Mike Mearls's idea for the Wizards of the Coast, some from players who sought to create Natural Explorer feature that he developed in his stream, this a ranger suitable for their table. What follows is yet another version of the Favored Enemy allows the ranger to excel at case of the latter. hunting their chosen enemy, while using their training to aid them while dealing with other creatures. Here is a homebrew ranger revision that focuses on giving the ranger features that make the character feel like an expert explorer and survivalist while still feeling mechanically useful Reading this Revision in a Hurry in a system where exploration has little in the way of concrete rules. This revision is intended to play into D&D 5th Edition’s If you're reading this, there is a solid chance that strengths and is inspired by Mike Mearls’ revision, made this is not the first variation of the ranger you've during his live stream, “Happy Fun Hour.” This revision was read.

This way, those familiar with the source class. may skip over the feature, secure in the knowledge that they already know everything they need to Analyzing the Ranger know about the feature. This also shows the The ranger has received a lot of criticism from various people influences and inspirations for this revision, making who each see something different in the class. Here I go over it easier to see the vision of this rendition of the what I believe its greatest hurdles are that keep the class from class. feeling like a weaker fighter. These are purely my own observations and opinions, so feel free to laugh at how dumb they sound. The Problem with Navigation After looking over rules for the exploration pillar of the game, I realized that this was the core problem of the ranger in my eyes: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is designed to enable all kinds of play depending on what is fun and convenient for each individual table, but that means that traveling and exploring is hard to pin down. Does your table painstakingly track resources and the weariness of your characters, or is travel more of a narrated montage? Do you look at a map that has been divided into hexagons to track distance, or does your table rely on theater of the mind? Differences like these make it so that the ranger's true talents-- being an expert survivalist in the wilds who specializes in hunting a certain foe-- can be swept under the rug. When the ranger isn't able to show off their navigational prowess, they feel like a subpar fighter or rogue. The Problem with the Favored Enemy The favored enemy is a staple of the ranger, and gives them the feeling of a mighty hunter who has dedicated their training and their education to tracking and slaying a particular type of foe, whether it be fueled by a devotion to protecting a land, a desire for vengeance, or some other powerful motive. Unfortunately, this much focus can make it so that if a ranger is not built to cater to an adventure, it may underperform. And even if the player does work with their DM to choose a suitable favored enemy for the campaign, there is no guarantee that they will fight that type of creature often enough for the ranger to feel like they are pulling their own weight.

    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

Then let him have it and jump out and finish him with your hatchet.” Major Robert Rogers, 1759 RANGER TRAINING BRIGADE United States Army Infantry School Fort Benning, Georgia FEBRUARY 2011 RANGER CREED Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

    STARLESS NIGHT R.A. Salvatore ©1993,1994 TSR, Inc. AH Rights Reserved. Scanned by Avalone Proofed by DukeLupus PROLOGUE Drizzt ran his fingers over the intricate carvings of the panther statuette, its black onyx perfectly smooth and unmarred even in the ridged areas of the muscled neck. So much like Guenhwyvar, it looked a perfect representation. How could Drizzt bear to part with it now, fully convinced that he would never see the great panther again? "Farewell, Guenhwyvar," the drow ranger whispered, his expression sorrowful, almost pitiful, as he stared at the figurine. "I cannot in good conscience take you with me on this journey, for I would fear your fate more than my own." His sigh was one of sincere resignation. He and his friends had fought long and hard, and at great sacrifice, to get to this point of peace, yet Drizzt had come to know that it was a false victory. He wanted to deny it, to put Guenhwyvar back in his pouch and go blindly on, hoping for the best. Drizzt sighed away the momentary weakness and handed the figurine over to Regis, the halfling. Regis stared up at Drizzt in disbelief for a long, silent while, shocked by what the drow had told him and had demanded of him. "Five weeks," Drizzt reminded him. The halfling's cherubic, boyish features crinkled. If Drizzt did not return in five weeks, Regis was to give Guenhwyvar to Catti-brie and tell both her and King Bruenor the truth of Drizzt's departure. From the draw's dark and somber tones, Regis understood that Drizzt did not expect to return.
