    I found this very entertaining, especially given that I'm currently playing a scholarly bard (who chants his spells in an ancient language and the rest of the PCs are half-convinced that he's just a wizard lying about his spellcasting), and my next planned character is a strength-based dwarf ranger.
    Sometimes, you avoid the stereotypes and just end up making a bit of an abomination... And it's wonderful.

      You are ignoring optional features of Ranger!!! Instead of Favored Terrain you can instead choose Deft Explorer. Additionally, not all Rangers have to be Archers and the best Sub-Class of Ranger... DRAKEWARDEN!!!!!! YOU LITERALLY GET A PET DRAGON ESSENTIALLY!!!

    • @chicken_person
      @chicken_person Před 2 měsíci +3

      @@morrigankasa570 I'm planning on taking both of the main optional features - Favored Foe and Deft Explorer. Then I'll be playing as a mountain dwarf, wearing medium armor and a shield, and (thematically) using a war pick as my main weapon.
      And with Favored Foe, I can be less dependent on Hunter's Mark for my Bonus Actions, and instead use my BA for the Horizon Walker feature that lets you deal extra damage and transfer the damage type to Force.
      Personally not a big fan of combat pets like in Beastmaster, Drakewarden, Creation Bard, Wildfire Druid, Battlesmith Artificer, etc. but that's just me.

    A note about artificer. My buddy is starting a curse of strahd campaign soon and he was considering working with me to let me do an artificer. He's a new dm (his first campaign) and I'm a dm in training and usually help my dm friends with their homebrew while i build my own. It would've been my first time playing artificer so we had no idea what to expect so we both looked into the class and decided that yeah we can't allow an artificer since you literally are able to just make magical weapons and it would make campaign so laughably easy that it's better not to. So I'm gonna build a busted cleric.

He dressed in rugged, common clothes, knew how to use thieves' tools, and carried a brace of throwing knives because spells make noise.

    XD Well, I'm playing 2e, so my party's ranger will probably be usefull for alot longer cus duel weapons are just that good, my druid died in a tragic orc situation at level cus magic users take a long time to get good in 2e and my paladin knows healing, starting plate armor, sword and shield expertise, has a lesbian crush on her Saintess, Mayahiene and I'm playing her being a party buffer. If my teamates can't wear plate armor and do their job, I've flipping give team magic plate armor and nag to wash every day cus my character is a clean freak and thinks the common folk smell.

    If I'm a sorcerer I am for sure a dragonborn

    As someone who made a shadow monk... Can confirm. I pissed off my DM. Either by stun locking shit (by luck or because the DM didn't give everything legendary resistance) while being practically untouchable because I stacked AC items or by just stealthing past everything because I grabbed skill expert.

    Now now, rangers are pretty good if you use the variant features from Tasha's.
    Original: _Favored Enemy._ Pretty shit. Very limited and situational exploration and interactions bonuses
    Alternative: _Favored Foe._ Diet Hunters Mark. Better, but not that great. An extra 1d4 damage once per turn. Later 1d6 and 1d8.
    Original: _Natural Explorer._ Pretty shit. A bunch of very situational exploration features to overcome difficulties most campaigns don't even include.
    Alternative: _Deft Explorer._ Pretty good. Expertise in one skill, two languages, later 5 foot speed increase, a swimming and climbing speed, 1d8+Wis healing pbtpd and easier recovery from exhaustion.
    Alternative: _Spellcasting Focus._ The ability to use a Druidic focus for spellcasting. Nice to have, but a component pouch worked too.
    Original: _Primeval Awareness._ Really shit. Spend a spell slot to detect a bunch of non-beast or humanoid creature types within 1 mile (or 6 miles in favored terrain). It doesn't reveal where they are or how many they are. Lasts for a number of minutes equal to the level of spell slot used. No reason to ever use a spell slot higher than 1, and the feature is arguably _worse_ in your favored terrain, since it make it even more difficult to use this to find enemies. Chances are you'll _never_ use this, since it's only worth it to spend those spell slots when you already have information to go on.
    Alternative: _Primal Awareness._ Pretty darn great. Gives you five "interact with nature to gain information" spells that are very flavourful for the ranger and very useful if you have them, but which are often not taken because they don't help in combat.
    Original: _Hide in Plain Sight._ Really shit. Lets you use a minute to camouflage yourself to give you a +10 bonus to stealth checks... until you do literally anything besides hiding, at which point you need to do it again. _So_ situational and with _so_ little benefit (what, advantage on *1* attack?) that it's unlikely to *ever* be used.
    Alternative: _Nature's Veil._ Pretty darn great. Use a bonus action to turn invisible until the start of your next turn pbtpd. Useful for either gaining advantage on all attacks your turn, OR hiding until the start of your next turn.
    Of course, some other shitty features weren't replaced: _Vanish,_ which lets you hide as a bonus action and prevents you (and only you, not your party) from being tracked by non-magical means, isn't bad, just a strictly worse version of the rogues _Cunning Action_ and has anti-synergy with _Nature's Veil._ And _Foe Slayer,_ your capstone, lets you add your wisdom modifier to *1* attack or damage roll against a favored enemy per turn. Great, really useful at *Level 20.* But most campaigns will never give you either of them, so they're much less relevant.

    This is unironically how some teachers teach though lol:
    “just do this”
    “but what if I don’t want to”
    “why wouldn’t you want to”
