Ready For Hell: The Heavy Metal Holy Ranger

In this episode, we go where no one wants to go: Ranger Land! Except that we make our Ranger into a psedo-paladin for a Descent into Avernus, or any fiendish/undead campaign setting. He's trading in his bow for melee weapons as a Strength Ranger -- a StRanger! We talk about how we like to build a stereotypical character out of a completely different class.

We also talk about how we distrust stats that people roll at home, why the point buy system works best, before we suit up the ranger in full plate and turn him into a holy knight who travels to fiendish planes to hold the line.

Then we get frustrated with favored terrain and favored enemies. We talk about a few simple table rules that won't break the game, while making these Ranger features suck less. Get ready to trade in your Divine Smite for a Zephyr Strike!
