TOPIC: Ranger favored enemy still undead?

My skirt?

I personally don't like the idea of rangers being able to chose. For one, it borks the whole general idea of a ranger bonus vs a fighter bonus. The ranger should be situational as opposed to the fighter because of their respective roles. The idea is that some years you'll be lucky and there will be undead everywhere and in others there won't be one. The only way to have it fit thematically and still let people choose would be to let people pick once and then track it across the years, which seems like a massive pain in the ass and hardly worth the effort. Otherwise, you'd just have people swapping each year to have it fit the big bad, which is usually leaked before gencon, and what would be the point of that then?

I agree. Prob the cloak. If not say it is a Kilt.

Why is no one suggesting Clerics get to choose their favored, I.e. "turnable" enemy? Or Paladins choosing their favored immunity? (there were no diseases for years...) Or Rogues their favored stabbing position? It seems the characters were never designed to be customizable except by tokens.

Now there's an idea... How about a token that let's you change your favored enemy?

If you want a permanent then it would have to be an ultra rare and it should take up a signifigant slot. Charm, ring or neck would be my recomendation.

If you want to go the temporary route then probably a rare potion would work best. That way they're reasonably easy to get but still rare enough that you are going to save them for when you really need it.

Archmage, you insulted him. Look at the quality stitching and the expensive fabric. It's a gown.

On the favored enemy. It might be easier to just get an altered favored enemy through true craft rather than retooling cards, powers, and rules. I don't really see the point, our ranger consistently does 40-50 damage per round on average hits.

this year, your Ranger is adding +26 to all attacks, so you are aware

Mmm, I love Rangers with high DPS*

I think if you gear up the Ranger right, and have a good slider playing the part, it can deal out more damage than any other class. With the possible exception of a Wizard using fancy gear and someone refreshing his big spell. But the Ranger can do it round after round


*Damage Per Slide, of course.

I agree with Brad Mortensen's comments on character customization.

As for my ensemble...

In real life, I am a proud kilt-wearing American. If I chose to wear a gown in real life, I would go with something like Roger DeBris' Chrysler building number:

But a gown is completely impractical in a dungeon, so I'll stick with my Templar Armor. Of course, one does want a hint of color, so that's why I went with the charming cerulean found on a Greater Cloak of Destiny.

I think my outfit looks FABulous!

The acronym "OMG" was created just for pictures like that...

What about a Runestone as those are turned in at the beginning and last the whole adventure, plus it would give time for coach discretion to the enemy chosen and be added as a note to the party card for easy DM access?

Wow that's quite the run-on sentence.
