Ranger Archive

I've read some of the ranger forums and heard most of the suggestions and for the most part I really like what I am hearing, but I was thinking there was a few other things that could be added.

There's been a lot of discussion on camps being just for show, and I agree they look cool but aren't really worth the hours of sitting waiting for that precious wilderness survival xp. Well one of my suggestions would be for camps is that they have automated defenses. Now I'm not talking about laser cannons guarding the perimeter (although that would be acceptable), I mean certain traps that would be built into the camp to give the ranger and his party a heads up on whats coming or something that would soften up the encounter. Something along the line of booby traps, that would make sense

Another idea I have is foraging, and yes I agree it is pretty useless, but one thing that would be cool is if you could actually use the cooker thats in your camp. I mean in the class description it says the ranger can make meals of the most meager resources, but apparently that means eating a few bugs and thats it. The ability to "craft" your own meals with only the food you foraged would be cool. It would add a whole other dimension to the ranger as different combinations could yield different results.
