Thread: Another Ranger proposal The Combat Ranger
Well there are alot of revamp ideas out there so I thought what the hell I'll try my own.
Disclaimer: This is a complete comabt oriented role for Rangers. Youve been warned.
First off the trapping line, harvesting mods, and TN will be displaced appropriately in the scout profession. Making the scout profession more viable and seperating us from the super scout image we have always had. Why you ask? I will explain the Rangers new role in my proposal.
Prereqs:
1. Master Scout (to become masters a survival and surroundings)
2. Ranged support 4
Novice Ranger:
Protective Barrier-grants the Ranger the ability to build a basic protective barrier out of surrounding resources. The protective barrier is designed to provide nominal cover from incoming enemy fire.
Improved Maskscent adds +20 to current maskscent ability
Certification for Battle Armor
Skill Tree 1: Mimicry ((replaces Wayfaring tree)works like conceal timer wise)
Skill Box 1: Mimicry Evasion-Grants the ability to mimic the surroundings in nature to evade aggro. Any movement will break your mimicked abilities.
Mimicry+10
Certification: Nano Mimicry injection-Injection that puts nano machines in your bloodstream that will change the pigmentation of your skin blending it in with the surrounding environment, or bends incoming light distorting your image. These will be crafted by DEs and BEs. (I know it sounds crazy, but hey this is Star Wars)
Skill Box 2: Advanced Mimicry Evasion-
Mimicry +20

Skill box 2: Intermediate Reconnaissance-All located Creatures, NPCs, and PCs are close to each other will be grouped together on the menu.(Like the menu we have now that tells you what you tracked)

Skill Box 4: Reconnaissance Mastery-Allows the Ranger to determine the distance of the Reconned Creatures, NPCs, and PCs. Placing a waypoint to a selected groups exact location(just kidding JB)(Recon works best when used in conjunction with the Ranger Hide)
