Class: Ranger (revised)

This post shows the revised list of special class features for each level. In addition to the changes from 3.0 to 3.5, the variant ranger (without spell casting) from the "Complete Warrior" rules are used. Finally some of the alternative Combat Styles from the "Conan: Hyboria's Fiercest" are presented.

Also remember that a character may replace any special class feature with a terrain feat (as mentioned in the post "About terrain feats").
