If your DM isnt playing DnD as a pure numbers game, everything is viable. What a class may lack in numerical power, the player can make up with creativity, and the DM can make up for in...anyway they want. Magic items tailored encounters, letting you rule of cool things.JUMBO PALACE said:You'll have to forgive me for being a scrub- I've only played in one session so far and listened to some podcasts and such. I have heard that Rangers in 5e are really underpowered, which is a shame because I would really like to make one. I grew up reading R.A. Salvatore books and watching Lord of the Rings so the idea of a woodland all weapons Ranger really appeals to me. I think I heard recently about an unearthed arcana for a non-magical Ranger or something like that which is what I'm looking for. Any insight into building a viable Ranger that doesn't necessarily spend his time with animals?Jei-chan said:I'm currently playing a campaign in 5e with my boyfriend and our two best friends. I'm playing a beast mastery ranger and the DM gave me a sideways glance but allowed me to use a horse as my animal companion based on the revised rules for Ranger that they put out a while ago XD it's awesome. Storm of Teeth and Claws is OP af
I had a Gnome Sorceress who tried to grapple an Orc, failed and got thrown to the ground prone, then misty stepped above him to drop down with dual daggers and cut out his tongue she she then wore as a necklace and took on the name "Orc-Tongue". Most of it wasnt in the rules, but it was a neat moment. (Dont mistake Gnomes for Goblins, they dont like that)
