  Historically, Ranger were based off of Underforester instituted by William the Conqueror to protect the Vert and Venison (Flora and Fauna) and police to King's Forests and also scout out dangerous areas in those forests

  In 3.5 the Ranger class was split some of the best part that made a ranger was given to the scout subclass. So when I used the the ranger class  I also subclasses in the scout. That made the ranger powerful and well rounded.

  Aragorn is the ranger archetype for me. Yet, I love the idea of rangers being mounted archers. For anybody familiar with Attack on Titan, I can't help but think of the Scout Corp as an all-ranger mounted unit. Especially for the Ackerman family.

  Gnolls are not humanoids.   They are fiends

  Wouldn't the Rifts equivalent of a Ranger be the Wilderness Scout?

  Of all the things you could have said, "an animal companion who's afraid of water." Hydrophobia is a red flag of rabies right before they go rabid, and is almost entirely incurable at that stage or beyond.

  I’ve loved Rangers since I chose the class to first try out DnD, I just love how self-sufficient and nature-flavored they are

  As a guy who has worked outdoors with animals of all kinds I definitely enjoy rangers as my favorite class, unpopular as they may be 😂 tho I’ve mainly played Pathfinder and my D and D games have been mainly one shots

  Funny as you describe the various forms of Ranger the game Arcanum or the Atlantean Trilogy that came out in the 80s in response to D&amp;D did all of these as their own separate classes and did them much better

  I’ve always been a fan of allowing rangers to gain favored enemies and terrain after gaining a certain level of experience with them. For example: if a ranger without orcs as their favored enemy or dungeons as their terrain spent 3 sessions clearing out a dungeon full of them, it makes sense to grant that ranger some degree of the class feature for orcs and dungeons.
