The idea is tobe given the chance to become a Specialized Master Ranger. After Mastering Ranger and spending so much time holding the Master Ranger title, you chosse between Four specialites to focus your attention on. The specialties should be diverse (while staying balanced), allowing the player to mold their profession into their play style or how they interpet what their character to be. You may only choose one speciality though, thus making the Ranger profession that much diffrent. The purpose is Two-Fold...


  1. To create a diverse amount of Players within the given profession (Ranger).

  2. Reward those players that are dedicated to their chossen profession.

Please come to the below link. Examine the current example of your profession, read what others have said about how that profession should be done, and give your input.

No input from the Ranger Community. The Doctor Community has showen alot of input, are you all saying that the Doctor's care more for their porfession then the Rangers?




To encourage a little input, here isCambylobacter's ideas on a Specialized Ranger:






1)

The Survival Specialist is used to spending large periods of time in the wilderness alone, and has adapted as such.

Their camps receive a double modifier for healing, and their camps have a low base modifier for healing battle fatigue. This allows them and the people their are guiding to stay in the wilderness for extended periods of time.


2)

The Mounted Ranger would have become masters of travelling with pets. They have learned how to use their knowledge of Terrain Negotiation and adapt this to riding their mount.

In as such, when mounted, this specialist receives the same speed bonuses as when on foot.


(Whether or not they have the Burst Run ability transferred to the mount is debatable, but they would certainly receive the bonuses for dealing with inclines, and I think the ability to "urge on" the mount for a Burst Run is reasonable)


3) The ranger with Creature Affinity has learned some basic skill with dealing with the animals they come across, and has gained a creature related ability.


EITHER:

a) One specific group of creatures will not attack the Ranger unless they themselves are attacked. The Ranger would receive a list of options. This represents the Ranger devoting time to studying a particular animal and learning how not to provoke them. It of course should be limited to one creature, firstly to avoid abuse and secondly not to encroach into Creature Handler territory.


b) The Ranger has a choice of certain sub groups of creatures: (planet) (type). Against that sub-group of creature the Ranger Mask-scent and Conceal modifiers gain an improved modifier. This represents the Rangers ability to understand how to hide him or herself from a certain type of creature, and be able to manufacture camouflage to do so.


c) The Ranger has gained an in depth knowledge of one particular creature. The Ranger has learned the ability to tame this one particular creature and gains limited commands. The choice would be from a pre-designated list.


- (maximum creature level of xyz)

- stay

- follow

- attack

- guard

- transfer

- (something else?)



4)

The Botanist has learned how to make the most of nature and the wilds. They gain an improved /forage ability, where all items have a boost to effect and duration via a simpler xyz% fixed modifier. They are also able to /forage for items that have received an uncommonly high effect and duration modifier.


They may also find very rare items which are decorative, such as rare flowers and plants. These will have no character benefits; purely decoration.

Not that we aren't interested in chatting about this with you, but we have just been down this road before. No offense.




Your friendly neighborhood Ranger,
