You magically attract a swarm of fey spirits that look like Tiny beasts of your choice. The added spells on this list are almost always worse than concentration spells the ranger can already cast, meaning they have a very good chance of being left uncast in favor of stronger options. For those unaware, a character can only concentrate on one spell at a time, meaning you want the most bang for your buck when casting a concentration spell. The rub is that both of these go-to spells, and literally every spell on this list, require concentration. Most commonly, this will be Hunter’s Mark, an efficient spell that increases their damage output, with something like Swift Quiver * coming later. To explain why, we need to understand what spells a ranger normally casts while in combat. As for the higher level spells… with the possible exception of Faerie Fire, I could easily see going an entire campaign without casting any of these. The Mage Hand cantrip is situationally useful, and that’s probably the best part. These spells count as ranger spells for you, but don’t count against the number of ranger spells you know. You also learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Swarmkeeper Spells table. When you cast it, the hand takes the form of swarming nature spirits. You learn the mage hand cantrip if you don’t already know it. To see what I’m talking about, let’s take a look at the subclass’s features, starting at level 3. I don’t know if Wizards’ refusal to make the ranger good stems from ignorance of the class’s issues or stubborn refusal to admit they made a mistake in the original design, but either way, this subclass suffers for it. I was hoping Wizards would take this opportunity to really push the overall power of the ranger, especially past level 5.
Given all this, I had high hopes for the Swarmkeeper, a new UA subclass recently put out by Wizards of the Coast. However, when they actually start playing, they quickly discover just how weak they are compared to the other characters, a feeling many players do not enjoy. The maligned * Beast Master in particular has initially excited many new players at my table. What makes this especially sad is that, for many new players, the fantasy of the ranger is something they want to experience. Alongside these issues is the lack of a central class feature like the paladin’s smite.
Their martial features, outside of the very early levels, fall far behind the alternatives, and their spell list is pathetic. Rangers are a tour de force on how not to make a half-caster class.
I just can't fucking stand Jeremy Renner.From the high point that was the paladin, we now look at ranger, the bottom of the proverbial class barrel. There will never be another Steve Rogers. He points out that it's not the costume, the shield, nor the intention behind Captain America, but the man. After a successful throw/rebound/catch, Iron Man says, "You know, we have SHIELD's top five marksman give that a shot, and four of them are nursing broken arms still."īut he won't do it. Iron Man tries to convince Clint to become the new Captain America. A guy who's good at that one thing, so if he planned on continuing to help, he needed his arrows. Spider-Man is still Spider-Man, still fast, strong, agile, wall climbing, and Spidey sensing Spider-Man. Spider-Man remarks that he knows how he feels, after his web shooters were taken away, he felt pretty powerless. Later, Spidey finds Hawkeye making new arrows. In Secret Wars, Mister Fantastic used Hawkeyes special arrows and Spider-Man's web shooters to help overchage Iron Man's unibeam to save them from being crushed by a mountain.
