Thread: Wannabe Ranger..does race matter?
---I have the dissavantage od starting out as an artisan Twi'lek. So my Health is 600, Action and Mind over 1000. Basically, a Twi'lek that starts as a scout -vs- one that starts as an artisan has better heath and heath regens. The artisan has better mind and mind regens. Thats the contention. So I was real lucky that I choose rifle as my weapon of choice. So at least I can fire from far and run like hell No very manly, but its less humiliating than running out of a cloning center every 5 minutes----
Just migrate your stats to what you want

Wookies get a bonus to harvesting i think. And really good stats.
I believe us lizards get the harvesting and knowledge bonuses. Wookiees get CH bonuses. Nraas can back me up, or discredit me on this one.
"Nraas can back me up, or discredit me on this one."
The relevant bonuses:
Bothan
- +15 Camoflauge
Trandoshan
- +10 Harvesting
Wookiee
- +10 Trapping
- +10 Rescue
is the +15 camo only effective for rangers, or does it apply towards the maskscent skill for scouts too?
I totally forgot about the +10 to trapping and rescue, I chose wook cause of the promised stat boosts (lies, all of them) and the fact i can be a ranger with a BOWcaster.
"is the +15 camo only effective for rangers, or does it apply towards the maskscent skill for scouts too?"
The camoflauge bonus only applies to /conceal...
- Supposedly there was going to be a /maskscent bonus as well, but it seems to have gotten lost in the woodwork.

I am a bothan ranger, but seriously I am a bothan because they fit perfectly with my bio. One thing I would recommend for any dabbler or serious ranger is maskscent/camoflage tissues made by BE's that can be added to a shirtby a tailorfor a nice bonus when worn. The best out there is plus 16 to both stats. Like most professions any race can make a decent ranger IMO. Ranger has had the very best correspondent work donewhich is partly why I have never regretted going ranger, even though I gave up the trapping line and master block.
