​@@bradthelad8308 I played a multiclassed artificer/druid once and killed that worlds God in two rounds. So what happened was, my DM was doing this thing with my concept for a character, I always play characters that are very weak on paper, because I like that it forces me to be creative and solve my problems for myself instead of just throwing a fireball at it. And so they took the Made in his image bit from the bible, and made it so if you fight him he is you but better. My character at the time was a little cyborg chemist lad that I named Al, because I thought the FMA pun was hilarious. What I ended up coming up with to beat him was my character used a little item that worked like heat metal without me having to waste a spell, it was basically just chemistry to make super thermite. And my character put it in his joints then Shillelaghed his ass and bonked him so he fell over into the river and drowned. Then I got an opportunity to get in the last word, and I said "Damn bitch really thought he was me but better, when my strength comes from the 'flaws' he got rid of"

I use Ranger as a sort of balancing class. I often become the face of the party due to how many years of roleplaying experience I have compared to my friends. So I feel the Ranger is a great way to become a jack of all trades that doesn't overshadow my party members.

Be careful with that, a jack of all trades can easily overshadow the party if you're not careful, I stumble into that trap regularly when I'm out here just tryna not die, because my DM is allergic to setting up regular encounters for me, whenever he splits the party for solo character development.

I'd argue a bard or rogue makes a better jack of all trades, rangers could do it, especially since they naturally get the extra attack feature and all that, but you're also sacrificing a number of class features that are actually helpful, because they get replaced with ranger things like "i'm better at fighting one type of creature" or "i'm better in this one environment", heavily limiting their "jack of all trades" thing, rogues and bards may not always be as physically statted as a ranger (at least in strength) but they tend to have more proficiency choices, bards get half proficiency in everything they aren't proficient in, (literally called "jack of all trades" iirc) and both classes get expertise naturally if i'm not mistaken. If you meant jack of all trades in a combat sense, then i apologize for the unrelated rant, but there are classes built to be jack of all trades, ranger is just the runt of the litter.

DnD Idea: As a reward after helping a miners-civilization they get a boulder... About 2-3ft tall. The miner civilization says that the rock has something special inside. Because the Stone Shaman, said so. They have been keeping it for a long time, but nothing happened. If the party decided to crack the rock open, there will be a quite expensive gemstone inside of it, also a wild magical surge happens... If they decide to keep the boulder for lets say... 2 to 3 sessions... The boulder 'Hatches' reviling that the special boulder was a rock-elemental. Like a little stone Golem. By feeding it Gemstones and using him in battle, he can grow all the way up to the biggest rock-moster available... (Ofcourse scales with Player level)...

When one of the spellslots of the item ist used however, the player must roll a D100 on the Wild Magic Surge table to determine a wild magic effect to happen. Is this balanced? Or even a good idea? Sounds kinda fun in my head

Swarmkeeper ranger actually puts class into a really great spot if the environments have vertical opportunities

The worst part is the spell Find (Greater) Steed, seems like it would also naturally fit for Ranger class, but nope Wotc decided that's its Paladin only spell.
