Perhaps I wasn't clear.
Rangers should be able to craft and insert an acid gland into ther mouths, underneath their tounge. I hope this clears everything up.
Um, glands are organic. That'd be more like a pouch.
And, that really doesn't explain the nature-ie part.
Natural attacks would be way out of line in this game. State effects, like Wookie roar, are racial. Now, what would be the difference between an "Acid" trap and your proposal?
There'd be lots of rangers sitting round the campfire, no teeth, no bottom jaws...
Pass me mah banjo maw, I feel "Deliverance" comin' on agin...
dinka-din-ka dinka dinka-dink
***edit*** My spelling gland fell out of my ear.

here is another idea. as you said we are intune with nature. so what ifr we could "ask" for assistance from close non-aggro creatures to atttack a specified target.
give it a certain range and maybe make it only possible to work if CL are close to each other. just a idea.
hmmm. I actually think they should create a whole profession based around getting creatures to do your bidding....like a Creature Handler or something.
as far as the acid gland....no. I mean....no. How you get spitting acid out of Ranger is a bit beyond me, I think. I mean...what real creature is able to spit (not secrete) acid as a weapon? Snakes are the closest thing, and they spit venom...which doesn't disolve stuff. How do you spit acid without having it burn your mouth first?

If you can't hold acid in your mouth, then you can't spit it. That also has nothing to do with being in tune with nature.
Neither does shouting really loudly.
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY? I FEEL AT ONE WITH NATURE RIGHT NOW, THAT MUST BE ACCENTUATED FOR FURTHER RANGER HAWTNESS.
Gee whiz, I'm dripping in sarcasm, somebody get me a towel.
I like addressing universal logistics before personal logistics.
Seriously, what sprays acid?
Ants. They spray formic acid. Who said old B movies aren't educational ("Them" c. 1957)
They love sugar too! Great movie!

Pre-CU there was usually some critter on every planet that spit acid. Now, many give the animation of spitting acid, but I'm pretty sure it's "energy acid" now *rolls eyes*.

Lmao, I cast Summon Nature's Ally IV to call animals to help me in combat. 'Cause I'm just a Druid with a poor attack modifier. Good thing I always take a Wolf animal companion, 'cause their attack modifier is uber!

not only is it "energy acid" but duelist's stance for BH's can return fire. those cu pa and their energetic acid spit, i tell ya
Back to the animal telepathy thing, I don't see why we can't just use the telepathy thing directly on the enemy, they're animals too. Or is there an int or wis roll that needs to be made to see if they resist the effects?
If that's not being "in tune" with nature, I don't know what is.
Only if I can make the check with my Pewter D20 of Pwning and returning

It should be a plutonium carrier with an acid coating, that way they get irradiated and melted at the same time! All you need to do to make that even better is to actually set the acid on FIRE while it's on it's way! You could do it with like an eyelaser, like Superman, or like Cyclops. They could even have a little state icon that's a green radiation logo that's on fire! That'd be SO SO wtfpwned!
