Ranger Revisions?

[Knight Of Pentacles]

This is a class that has the same AB progression as a fighter.  But has the best stealthiness, gets divine spells, animal empathy which can make henchmen of horribly powerful creatures, +AB vs. favored enemies, and now a bunch of miscellaneous things for their favored enemies.  They also can get massive detection abilities making them even stronger.  They have more loot that accommodates them than most other classes and special bonuses for pure rangers.  Basically these guys are undetectable gankbots that have the best of all the classes combined.  Especially when multiclassed with rogues to get their skills.  I don't know how they could be fixed, but I believe they are disproportionately powerful.

So this is a rant mostly without a single suggestion on how to fix a 'perceived' problem?  I personally don't find them overpowered.  They get VERY low skill points for the number of skills you really want to take.

If anything I would somehow increase the penalty for wearing heavy armor as well as medium, perhaps exception of chain shirt, by disabling more ranger bonuses.  Other than that I think they are a very good class much more balanced then they have been in the past.

Yes, that's precisely what it is.
