I've used favored enemy multiple times to ask the DM what I know of this enemy, and when I found out what I needed, shared with the party and created strategies to easily kill our quarry. Granted, I tailored my favored enemy to Giants in a campaign explicitly dealing with them, but I've never had a DM try to screw a party member over because of something they chose for their class.

Foe Slayer is much stronger than people give it credit for, adding up to +5 to your damage or, more importantly, accuracy. Actually hitting the enemy is one of the most important things for DPR. Lvl 20 Ranger vs Tiamat: 25 AC 20 dex, +3 weapon: +14 to hit. Necessary roll: 11 That's a 50% chance to hit. Now add Fiend as Favored Enemy and 20 Wis: +19 to hit. Necessary roll: 6 That's a 75% chance to hit. You still get this benefit from Favored Foe, but at the cost of Concentration and you only ever have 6 uses between long rests.

The Ranger a.k.a. ‘session 0 is a must.’ From what all of the skill sets in rules of a ranger implies. That you need to have a good repertoire with your DM. You can’t wait until the first session reveal your backstory to everyone including the DM. You need to let your DM know that you’re playing a Ranger so you can work together to decide what would be best for your characters, favorite train and preferred enemy. Essentially, if you’re going to play a rogue, the DM needs to be your ally, not your enemy.

If you think about it, both Vesemir and Geralt are rangers themselves since they can use both weapons and magic in a fight, they're skilled in monster behavior and weakness, also they can just be as effective towards humans and other races, and they're experts on alchemy from gathering various ingredients from plants and creatures

Crossbows, lances, spears, daggers, bastard swords, battle axes, war maces, flails, swords, bows, and if the setting has them included firearms of some sort, I guarantee you the fighter is the one that's going to use them. Also they happen to be the class that gets the best subclass for setting up for mounted combat(so they can play a mounted knight etc) and finally, more importantly: they get a subclass called the arcane archer, which should really read "better ranger class".

Having been in the America infantry, a ranger is literally the best class to play for something like that. A ranger runs point, knows the terrain, is a great warrior, studies and learns. I have so much appreciation for rangers

So glad you guys are keeping your vids going. Love them. Keep then coming. Please!

thanks for this, ranger is my favorite class and it makes me happy to know others appreciate it as well!

Swarmkeeper might be my fave but I think Beastmaster and Hunter are still useful. Revised BM anyway, but despite mostly focusing on offensive options, the Hunter is arguably the most durable ranger archetype, as it has the most options to directly prevent the Ranger from taking damage.

The rangers major niche is to be situationally useful, making it so in the right senecio you have a lot of utility but outside of that situation you are far less powerful, this idea is very captured by the hunter subclass (which is actually a pretty good one btw) which grants bonuses in certain senecios in combat like an extra attack if enemies are close together, or a +4 AC against enemies with multiattack, showing that in certain situations the ranger can be very powerful but otherwise less useful, a niche no other class really fills outside of some out of combat utility spells having a similar feel like identify or illusory script.

Out of all the songs, this is by far my favorite, I'm legit laugh crying

Ranger has been and always will be my favorite class.

I played a Tiefling horizon walker in the Descent into Avernus module. His name was Tobias Brand and he was by far the most fun character I’ve ever played. It was the first time I had ever played a chaotic evil character and it just so happened that I wrote into his backstory that he was simping hard for Zariel. Needless to say, some shit went down and one of the party members took his kneecaps as a trophy after he fell victim to power word kill.

I have played ranger many times in my life and i really liked the players handbook subclasses the hunter is so good and its really fun having an animal with you

I subbed to you after the terrain skit. Well done.

Horizon walkers can also work well outside of a planar portal type game. Just so long as the dm agrees that you can sense all portals. The BBEG tries to teleport away you know exactly where their going, and can pick up their tracks from there.

What's complicated about the revised ranger exactly? It's pretty straight forward.

I agree with that one nerd here. Foraging, tracking, all of that booze is so complex. I only really do it if there is nothing else to do then that and maybe throw in a random encounter while it goes on. For example, in curse of Strahd, our ranger wanted to play a beastmaster. So while they escort Ireena to vallaki, they make a side stop to collect herbs. Once thats done with, Strahd himself will gift the ranger a wolf. Talks to the party and in the final battle the wolf is torn between Strahd and the Ranger.

I thought that this video would be “HERES HOW TO PLAY RANGER” “you don’t” End vid. Am pleasantly surprised, fantastic video as always. Ty for making it!

"Track the li- fuck the fuckin kill the lich rangers are rad yee-haw" I'm dying.

Whew, I was super worried there wasn't going to be a song but then there was the note informing that it was at the end and I could calm down and stop crying.

3:18 I LOST MY SHIT. BEST EARTH WIND AND FIRE REFERENCE EVER.

Well considering that most range dmg comes from either magic or equipment, like grenades, the most unique thing about the ranger class imo is the fact that they are the only class that can viably do physical dmg from range. Very useful for those situations where you're fighting something that's resistant to magic with immobilizing abilities. Ijs

These fucking skits kill me every single time I love it keep it up

A good way to play a ranger would be to play a cartographer, an explorer in the employ of a noble who wants him to map a region. Lots of backgrounds can help this idea out

4:57 The exact same scenario I bring up when I ask what kind of campaign it's going to be before we start.

In recent times I've been warming up to the idea of the ranger being a druidic archetype of other classes. Like a fighter subclass that's a nature-y alternative to Eldritch Knight

Love the songs and larping!

Ok i applaud you on the elemental pun. That was nice.

Honestly, I actually really like the PHB beastmaster. Yeah it’s a little extra work but that’s what got me into DnD. My first class was 3.5 druid. I like doing extra research, putting time into planning ahead, keeping track of details, and overall I enjoy classes that allow me to play into those aspects of the game.

Honestly just play revised ranger with the new subclasses. There is literally no downside as it just makes the class better.

I think natural explorer should allow you to change your favorite terrain on each long rest similar to restoring spell slots.

You forgot that Ranger is an INT CASTER

The song was hilarious my Bard is going to play it and credit you when I cast "Song of Rest".

I had a friend that was making a new char after the death of his previous one. He picked ranger with grasslands as his favored terrain. Literally on the next session a horde of orcs fended the party off to a desert where the whole second chapter of the campaign would pass
