Ranger Archive

Things that I think could be done to throw us a bone with minimal code changes and without majorly pissing too many ppl off. Numbers are tweakable or replacable with another mod. I still like the modular camps and static traps and whatnot, also...

And yes, most of my suggestions will help in the non-pve world too, but no-one else has "indoor only" limitations and making some of these creature specific may require adding new code rather than the very simple task of adding a #define

Novice Ranger

Max level of pets +2 (rather than making a specific pet do more damage, let us use slightly higher pets).

Wayfairing 1-4 (the line of "moving around")

Defensive Acuity +2 +3 +4 +5 (+6 more at master) Increases chance to react with counterattack, dodge, or block

Make conceal work on us again (I'm the most frequently agroed member of the group, even though I'm the ranger, okay that's a code change).

Wayfairing3: grant /sprint ability. Copy of burstrun code but withlower top speedand no set time limit... "tired" really means "no action left" or whatever but the action can be repeated indefinately ala surveying/sampling. Wearing bulky armor lowers your secondaries making this cost more and take longer to recover to where you can /sprint some more.

Wayfairing4: /Sneak

Frontiering1-4 (Meditating in the wild)

Fix camp repel agro

Add woundheal/pool regen and poison/disease cure modifier. Copy TK meditate line, so that anyone SITTING inside anycamp is automatically "meditating" with poison and disease cure needing say +75 to begin curing (non-scout needs to sit in a htfb, but master ranger can use a novice scout camp and get the poison to subside fairly rapidly). Some form of this is already implemented by the increased regen and woundheal sitting within camps, just make it meaningful past master scout. Master Ranger inside a HTFB would still regen fractionally compared to TKM. Get diseased by a bull rancor, you can run to the htfb and take a seat and the hunt isn't over now (though you may still need some medical attention to get back out in a timely fashion).

Max level of pets +1 +1 +1 +1 (Master +3) you are spending a lot of time outdoors, after-all presumably "communing with nature" NOT stalking and killing prey.

Add some rare stuff to the forage list... ie: disease and poison cure foods and salves, occasional "lost jewelry" or clasps, buried treasure chest, etc...

Tracking1-4 (Creature Knowledge)

Defense Vs DOTs (poison, disease, open wound)

Defense Vs State effects (stun, intimidate)

Damage increase (similar effect as a damage slice on the weapon but only affective against creatures)

/spook: Warningshot type command that works with any weapon

Trapping1-4

Power-ups with poison/disease DOTs with creature-looted(rancor disease gland, style - extraced by new radial option on creatures) or cm made components. May need "delivery cartridges" or"weapons upgrade kits"or "empty cartridge powerups" to make them go into weapons since it's got to be more precise than a jumble of bone and hide going into a gun, though putting a thin layer of poison on a knife blade any ranger should be able to do with a much shorter lifespan (say2 or 3hits)
