Thread: Rangers need a weapon in skill their tree... The Bow!
I think this is a very cool idea for you ever so patient Rangers. You guys definitely deserve a nice little enhancement of some sorts for your legendary message board patience and virtue.

Instead of a weapon, how about a power up for melee/ranged weapons.
Crafted by ourselves useing various foraged and looted items (poision, bile ) That can be applied to weapons for a limited amount of shots before it wears off.
Mainly state effects and poisions though.
Any good gardener and medic will tell you there are more poisions in your garden than in your house. The right plant juice / sap leaves can leave u feeling VERY VERY unwell (possibly dead) yet a differnt part of the plant is perfectly safe.
We are surposed to be the MASTERS of the WILDERNESS so lets uses whats out there.
Most of our present day medicines come from plants, small doses are benifical but a large dose tends to kill :}

Must we go over this again? In previous posts I listed tons of links to current hi-tech archery equipment. You simply would be amazed if you think a bow and arrow cannot be hi-tech. Old swords were used in KotOR because of shields, and evolved into the Light Sabre. mmm... force field string, specialty metals or even force arrows, ya, I want that

Probably not a popular post as it goes against the thread, but don't see the bow as the weapon of a high-tech ranger, who uses force field generating high tech camps (well at least if you look at the graphics), high tech camoflauge and electronic traps etc.
We do need moe clout in combat though; for instance taking the fairly useless +25 accuracy bonus that we get currently get to base range attacks only and make it apply to:
- Specials
- Melee attacks
- Ranged accuracy whilst moving.
Some defences so we dont instantly disintegrate if a critter does get to us (again mainly a problem for higher level critters that are immune to traps andstate effects and can keep up with burst run) would also be nice, but no holding my breath for any of these.

You know that we are talking about SWG here, right? I mean this isn't D&D or any other medival fantasy setting.
Rangers are explorers, recon specialists in military forcesand yes hunters. But in SW, we do use modern weapons, that is to say blasters!
Ah, so i guess the SWORDMAN and FENCER and PIKEMAN and TKA and BRAWLER professions are all just myths here on SWG?
Cause gee, we got "Blasters"
Hmmm, Luke had some pointy thing as well, what was it called? A Blaster? Nooooooooooo.
hehehe
