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.
Legolas 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.
I’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.

I assume we are just talking d&d because rangers are awesome in other games.

Pathfinder ftw
