| + | Part of the problem with something like social combat is that we want things that are analogous to weapons, but you don't buy a red herring argument. Well... okay, there is always the theory that you can purchase social tactics by spending some kind of currency you gain by doing research, but that's a whole other ''thing'' and gets complicated. So we're not going to touch that for right now. |

| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Men and women of the wilderness, rangers come to know the world better than most others. Over time, their understanding of the world transcends its material boundaries, and they glean the ability to channel the elemental forces at work behind the mountains and valleys they call home.

| − | Able combatants, rangers combine the powers of geomancy with martial skill into a seamless whole, using their gifts to augment their martial skills and to enhance their ability to hunt their quarries. Rangers come from a variety of martial backgrounds, though archers and dual-wielders are among the most common sorts of rangers encountered.

| − | Rangers excel at hunting particular creatures, and as they glean knowledge of the natural world with experience, their ability to combat particular types of foes also improves. Since the Omega was defeated, more and more vilekin have resurfaced throughout the world, and now - more than ever - are the skills of rangers called for.

| − | '''Combat Style:''' At first level, the ranger chooses a particular combat style.
| + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | * ''Archer:'' Any ranger can select this style. A ranger's max aim tokens equals one-half his ranger level + 3 (rounded down), and gains bonus aim tokens based on his Dexterity.
| + | |
| − | * ''Einhander:'' Any ranger can select this style. A ranger can have a number of maneuvers readied equal to the amount on the class table, above.
| + | |
| − | * ''Executioner:'' Any ranger can select this style. '''But don't do that right now, we don't know how they work yet.'''

| − | =Design Notes= | + | ==Other Stuff== |
| − | You know what I don't like? Rangers who cast spells. Never have, never will. So the ranger needs to go, but to replace it, we need a Nature adept.
| + | Now for something completely different... |
| | | | |
| − | Hence, I'm reviving the zodiac.
| + | C: E, yo. |
| | | | |
| − | This class is intended to do two things: first, fill in grid (Nature adept); and second, bring the metamorph back as a viable concept, albeit in a different form. The original metamorph was an attempt at making a class fully devoted to shapeshifting, or something akin to it. We... really can't reasonably do that in t20, as our grid (currently) doesn't allow for "force-aligned but non-casting" classes, which is what the metamorph would require.
