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 3: Mimicry Tactical-Allows one to move while in a mimicked state. Combat will break this.


Mimicry +30


Skill Boc 4: Mimicry Tactical Advanced


Mimicry +40






Skill Tree 2: Advanced Survival


Skill Box 1: Certification-Ranger Hide-a concealed small structure that removes the Ranger from radar


Survival+10


Skill Box 2: Certification-Field Base Kit


Survival+20


Skill Box 3: No certification


Survival+30


Skill Box 4: Certification-Forward Area Post(simular to the Current Ranger Cabin proposal)


Survival+40






Skill Tree 3: Reconnaissance


Skill Box 1: Basic Reconnaissance-Allows the Ranger to detect what is out there. Creatures, NPCs, and PCs


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 3: Advanced Reconnaissance-Allows the Ranger to determine the direction of Reconned Creatures, NPCs, and PCs.


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)






Skill Tree 4: Lethality


Skill Box 1: Target Vitals- Basic knowledge of Vital areas of a target


Grants Lethal Blow-Increases the max weapon's damage by 50%


Ranged Accuracy+2


Ranged Speed+2


Melee Accuracy+2


Melee Speed+2


Skill Box 2: Intermediate Target Vitals-More indepth knowledge of target's vital areas


Ranged Accuracy+3


Ranged Speed+3


Melee Accuracy+3

Skill Box 4: Target Vitals Mastery-complete knowledge of target's vital areas

Master Ranger


Certification for multipurpose Ranger Firearm


Certification for double edged Ranger Spear


Certification Urban Mimicry-Allows Ranger to blend in with surrounding urban environment. Can move, combat will break mimicked abilities


Certification-High Tech Field Base Kit (just couldnt give it up)


Grants Mastery Target Vitals-causes two times the max weapon's damage


Grants Reconnaissance Communication-Allows the Ranger to "listen in" to a slelected group's spatial and group chat (probably won't fly, but what the hell)


Mimicry+50


Ranged Accuracy+10


Ranged Speed+10


Melee Accuracy+10


Melee Speed+10


I know this is not by far the best out there. I was just putting another perspective on our profession. Now please tell me what you think. Let me know the good and the bad about this proposal. Input is greatly appreciated.


ps. please excuse the spelling and grammatical erros that I am sure are rampnat in this.

I'm particularly fond of the protective barrier which you describe. It appears to be somewhere between a hunting blind and a camp with "bunker" defenses.


Something like this would be alot of fun I think.


Mixing DEs and BEs in for creating your Mimicry skill is pretty cool as well. I'd say go one or the other though, either BE or DE just because it might be tough to track down such specialized things from two professions.

Thanks for the feed back. I was drunk when i wrote it, but I didnt think it was that bad. My reasoning behind the DE BE thing is that a DE would make a component that a BE would use in crafting the shot things. Kind of like a DE needs crafted components from artisan(could be completely wrong about that though. Keep the feedback coming please this was obviously my first one of these things to do.

no worries,


for a first "proposal" I think its pretty solid. You know what you wanted to do and you did it.


I wanted to reply to this earlier ... but a few too manySam Adams Cream Stoutsconvinced me to wait it out a few hours.


Edit... I hate posting when I've been drinking 'cause the next morning I've lost track of where my thought process was.

So what do you guys think. I know it's not perfect by far. It's just another perspective. Hell even a "you suck, jackass" would be feedback.
