they should make hunters mark scale in dmg in the same way bardic inspiration and monks martial arts die does, and have the level 20 make you able to add your wisdom modifier to attk/dmg rolls of your hunters mark creature. Also bg3 has an awesome option where you can pick a special characteristic (fire/cold/acid resistance or find familiar as a ritual) and they used to have advantage on initiative rolls which could be a dope lvl 6 feature for them.

"you can concentrate on two spells, but only if one is Hunter's Mark" seems Very Similar to it not requiring concentration, but more complicated. I also think that it should be able to be applied as part of the Attack at some point, as well as more damage scaling. The Hyper Advanced crit range at 20 sounds *nice* though...

might show this to my players for a home game, thieve just been living on an air ship for 2 real life years

Great vid, high energy!

Great Video! :)

They gave you FREE casting of HM. Just break concentration on it for another concentration. Why is that so hard? It's practically a cantrip. It's November. Nobody has ACTUALLY played a ranger up to level 20 in a campaign yet. I suspect this "omg the 2024 ranger is so lame" thing is just a clickbait fad. You've even got "optimancers" making videos where they intentionally don't use rangers best features for their calculations. Also, there are a lot of none combat utility and game play/ROLEplay advantages to rangers if you just enjoy that fantasy. Go on with your content though, more power to you I guess.

Brilliant just what I needed to understand it better!

Another great video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Was looking for an indepth guide on this thanks

I’ve never actually encountered these before in games. Definitely super interesting

Nice one! I need to try them out

GREAT VIDEO!

Bastions are legit the only reason I bought the new DMG lol.

My main thing is ranger should be rogue and druid mix. Have them focus on ambushes with more trap focused spells. I really like the flavor of snare and alarm but feel like there's a lot lacking for wanting to scout ahead and set up traps/ambushes with the spells

Really well done video! All the pics and animations fell into place perfectly.

This is an awesome concept. I wanna give my party one!

Thanks for the great explination!

I love the style of this video!

Please send this to someone at Wizards of the Coast

College of spirits is when you can jam so hard that even the spirits come back to hear the vibes

Ranger might be the most underrated class in the game. Ranger class supremacy all day

Im definitely gonna use this build for a caster I’m planning on making for my friends game. Great stuff!

Never played a bard, not really my style, but great video! 👍

Great video! 👍

I've actually played her in one of the games I've played in. Unfortunately the campaign didn't get far before disbanding.

Great content!!!!

We built a better ranger for a better system. If y’all are interested.

I turned the Hunter’s Mark spell into a class feature they get at level 2 that doesn’t require concentration and that scales as you level in the class. Since all the scaling is built into that feature, I was free to use the rest of their abilities to give them cool features related to stealth, tracking/hunting/navigation, movement and endurance, overall resilience, damage, etc. to me the bummer of the class is that all their features revolve around Hunters Mark rather than Hunter’s Mark working with and supporting all their features and allowing them to combo it with their higher level spells. My version has strong Witcher vibes/inspiration in the mechanics as the ultimate, “this is the person who hunts stuff down and uses knowledge to get the upper hand”.

I beg to disagree, the College of Spirits has potential. I used this subclass to build a Culprit character for a “Haunted Whodunnit” story. Mechanically speaking, if you’re playing a Shadar-Kai character, this Subclass will shine because you’d have “Necrotic Resistance” and “Keen Senses”. Plus, “Blessing of the Raven Queen” could be quite useful for a Spirits Bard.

I've thought about Hunter's Mark fixes before, but I think your "dual-concentration but only with hunter's mark" may actually be my favorite. I'd still like to see the ability to apply Hunter's Mark with an attack like Vengeance Paladin's Vow of Enmity though. Having to use your bonus action to move your 1d6 bonus damage every time the enemy dies sucks, and when you're a Beastmaster the fact that you can't have your beast attack the same round as applying a Hunter's Mark feels bad.

hunters mark is as dumb as people who think bland avocados are good

i'd remove the free hunter's mark uses and replace it with the hunter subclass hunter's lore enemy breakdown as a standalone BA, also when you use hunter's lore you can also choose to have advantage until your next successful attack against that creature, you get a number of advantage uses equal to the free HM uses and your uses recharge on short rest, also all your ranger spells have their verbal components ignored and don't break stealth. i'd then alter relentless hunter so it affects all of your ranger concentration spells rather than just HM. also, i'd improve deft explorer, roving and nature's veil by letting you pick a favoured terrain at both of those levels and you get certain permanent benefits, say you pick arctic, you get a resistance to cold damage and the ray of frost cantrip, pick grassland and you can dash as a bonus action and get improved accurate range on ranged weapons. not sure what i'd do for 17th and capstone with innate HM gone, though i've always liked the idea of rangers eventually getting to dip their toes into wildshape without multiclassing.

Everyone says the ranger's focus is too ambiguous or hard to pin down. The reality is they're not looking in the right places for the ranger's core concept. Every class can do damage. The ranger is supposed to be the class that supercharges the party's stealth, overland travel, exploration, and wilderness survival capabilities. The problem with this is that WotC refuses to make adequate rules for overland travel and exploration. I ended up doing a full rewrite of the ranger class for use by my players. The core goals were simple. 1. Kill hunters mark. 2. Fix favored terrain and favored enemy creature type picks. 3. Let rangers camouflage just about anything. 4. Come up with overland travel rules, and then give exceptions to those rules to the ranger. 4 was easy. I backed the kickstarters for Web DM Weird Wastelands, and Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting. Between those two books I had everything I needed to homebrew Overland Travel rules. 3 was also simple. I took ranger features like Hide in Plain Sight, Vanish, and others and shuffled them around or changed what they do. At level two my Rangers get an feature called Ghillie Suite which lets them hide as a bonus action. The spell Invisibility is added to their spell list. At later levels they get features that let them throw camouflage tarps over vehicles, structures, or creatures that are stationary. It's basically Pass Without a Trace but permanent until the affected thing moves. 1 and 2 were the core fix I came up with. I removed Hunter's Mark favored enemy, foe, etc... and terrains. In place of those features I gave Ranger one cohesive core feature. Favored Mana. At level 1, 3, 6, 14, and 20 the ranger picks one of 6 colors. The level 3 pick is limited to choosing between two based on subclass while the others can be any of the colors. White, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. The colors of Mana from Magic the Gathering. On the DM's side of things I mage a one page, non-comprehensive, list of all terrain types, creature types, classes, backgrounds, and factions. Everything the players might run into is sorted into one or more of the mana colors. On the player side the ranger gets their Int mod in languages each time they pick a color, and they get bonuses when dealing with anything tied to their mana colors. All weapon attacks against any creature tied to their favored mana colors deal one additional damage die of the weapon's type. All DEX, INT, and WIS ability checks related to anything tied to their mana colors are made with advantage. While traveling over terrain tied to their mana colors the party cover twice the distance/number of movement units, on hex maps hexes of the favored mana colors are treated as roads which means an even bigger travel speed boosts, combat encounters are rolled half as often and social encounters or discoveries are rolled twice as often. The main upsides to all of this is that "I picked the wrong type specialization" goes away when each pick covers a massive swath of stuff the party will run into, even a one level dip into ranger can give the entire party huge travel benefits in the right campaign, and the MtG color pie is one of the best existing systems where everything in the game mechanics/setting fluff is linked to one or more of 6 easy to learn categories.

0:52 - I mean... Meanwhile fighters, rogues and barbarians has no flavor at all. Fixing? Kinda: - 7lv - HM does not require bonus action to target - 8lv - Land's Stride - 13lv - HM does not require concentration - 14lv - Vanish HM scaling maybe, but not sure if that would be too much

Personally contemplating making hunters mark not concentration AND adding the proficiency bonus to hunters mark damage for ranged weapons. (Dual weapon fighting can get you 4 attacks / round at level 5 which is a lot of hunters mark process firing, but the bow just doesn’t keep up.) That should get them back competitive with other classes.

One problem with Rangers is that their more fun feats don’t start coming in till after lvl 10. Barbarians- Rage, Fighters- action surge, druids- wild shape etc, …. rangers- 2.5 extra damage on each hit! 🦗 🦗🦗 They should get nature veil at level 2-6. Throw in the find familiar & find steed spells to scratch that animal handler itch too.

Remove damage bonus from hunters mark and make it for tracking/finding resistances/vulnerabilities. Now other classes that get it won't stack damage with it. Give ranger a feature where attacks deal +pb damage on the last target you hit/damaged, or targets affected by you hunters mark. To avoid multiclass cheese make the number equal pb progression but be class dependant, or make it a die expression where the pb is the avg value of roll (so pb 2 is a d4, pb 3 is d6 etc) and it progresses with class levels. Alternatively, remove hunter's mark from spells and just make it a ranger class ability that can be reused by spending spell slots once normal uses run out. Give ranger 2014 natural explorer, but only 1 choice of terrain or regional map, choice can be altered by studying a new terrain/region for a month, or for free when pb increases. Keep deft explorer and movement options for personal/combat use as deft explorer affects the exploration pillar of play not combat and is a ribbon ability otherwise. There, specialist fighter that observes and singles out preferred targets and can lead an entire group through whatever terrain or region they have studied as their class identity. Done.

Unfortunately you’ll never be able to fix it. Mechanically the Ranger struggles because it’s kinda a Druid, kinda a thief and kinda a fighter but not as good as any of those so it just end up being a half assed attempt at any one of those… It doesn’t have it own identity

My fix is making your free castings of hunters mark none concentration, make the lvl 13 feature improve the hunters mark a d8 . And I like your fix to the capstone but I feel like it's still missing something maybe on a crit you regain life equal to half the damage you deal to the marked target

Allowing Rangers double concentration would be dangerous. Not because of hunters mark, but because if can be used for other things than Hunters Mark, just Imagine a Spell Caster with a one level Ranger Dip. It my game I would "fix" the Ranger by giving the Ranger Player some magic items that worked with how they like to play their character. If they liked to use Hunters Mark a lot I would give them an item that removed the concentration requirement or improved their damage. If they like using summons I would give them something that improved that.

What liar he is

Erhm.. Don't limit Hunter's Mark to once per round even if you're removing the need to concentrate. Don't do that. Ever spending a spell slot to get 1d6 damage once per round is a laughable notion.

fighter player here. HAHA. HAHAHA. keep taking the Ls for the rest of us martials lil bro. great vid keep it up <3
