Ranger has somewhat limited spells, mostly buffs, heals, a few nature-related effects. It's a class that CAN cast spells, but spells aren't the main selling point. There could also be room for a combat-focused rogue, since CV is going for a charisma/skill-based build. Monk and fighter are also options.
Overall, I'd advocate for ranger. Go for two-weapon fighting, using either a cutlass (scimitar) and light weapon (for strength build), or rapier and light weapon (for dex build). Take a dire rat as animal companion and pretend it's a giant possum, or a bird-type companion and pretend it's a parrot.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

Well I figure as a ranger I would have some basic healing spells. Since nobody is choosing to be a cleric so far.
So are we doing 3.5 then? And is there a character generator for 3.5? Cuz other than the basic stats Teal just talked about, I have no idea how to get a character created, as far as skills, etc.
Or even what stats I should put most points in. Or even what the difference in a character in 3.5 or 5e would be.

I prolly should note that in 5e a pirate's hook does 1d4 damage (plus any Strength bonus) and is considered a simple (light) melee weapon. Perfect for two-weapon melee but would, I think, make using a bow (so often associated with Rangers) a bit difficult.

Does the wonky magic also effect potions? Even those stored in leaded flasks?

But I don't even know what the best race would be, what the various modifiers are,etc. Totally lost here.

Once you decide on what type of Ranger you want to be you can start worrying about feats and skillsLast edited by rogue06; 08-01-2018, 09:42 AM.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIt depends on just what sort of Ranger you want to be. Sticking with just the "basic" races, Dwarves, Half-Orcs and Humans are good choices for melee while Humans, Elves, Half-Elves and Halflings are good for archers or missile-weapon users. There are so many "exotic" races available that I wouldn't even know where to start. Oh, and if you want to emphasize tracking Elves, Half-Elves and Humans.

I use this to generate basic character sheets: http://www.pathguy.com/cg35.html
and this as a reference: http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm
For race, I'd say human, elf, half-elf, or maaaaybe halfling or dwarf. We're gonna be high-enough level that the racial adjustments and age penalties probably won't be THAT big of a deal, but those are probably the best options.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.
