    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    IMO Sorcerer has the least class identity. It's just a wizard with a different casting stat. Ranger second least. Just a fighter with nature skills, maybe a druid dip. Druid, could be a cleric Barbarian (playtest) could be an angry fighter. Though the playtest learned into the natrual...

    20% of 0 is 0. Also. You might want to familiarize yourself with the playtest changes, and update it for the new version.

    I did this a long time ago, so I don't remember how good it is, but feel free to take a look. https://www.dmsguild.com/m/product/231738

    D&D 5E Artificer Subclass - The Constructor

    You shouldn't have unlimited healing. Things should scale. Use your spell attack modifier for the Golem and tower to-hit. Possibly add your proficiency bonus to their damage.

    For an extra challenge. Make every class a subclass of Ranger.

    D&D 5E DnD 5e home brew class: The Constructor

    Artificer can put Infusions on a fighter. So as long as the Golem isn't better than a fighter, Infusions on a Golem won't be better either.

    Just think of all the engagement that would go away if we lost the ranger. 😁

    Is it an Armored Core? And I'm not aware of another homebrew that does it that way.

    D&D 5E DnD 5e home brew class: The Constructor

    Then I would drop the spell casting and go full build-a-bot. Pick an arm at level 1 Pick another arm at level 2 Pick a frame at level 3 (including a driver seat). Multi-attack at level 5 Pick legs at 6 Pick a head at 7 At level 9, you can swap a limb durring a short rest. ??? Pick an upgraded...

    D&D 5E DnD 5e home brew class: The Constructor

    I agree that this looks like an Artificer subclass. Not enough by itself. Let the Artificer Infusions apply to the Golem. Possibly getting a bonus Infusion that can only apply to the Golem.

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Agreed. That's probably how I would do it too. Though I would probably go with a Nature, Clockwork, Elemental subclass for the Beastmaster. And make a Bow Barbarian viable. With Hunters Mark being a Rage. It's already nature themed. Also, I would move Wild Shape away from the druid, and...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Yes. And old MMO. The world wasn't that great, and the magic system was terrible, but I liked the class-less skill system.

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Asheron's Call had the best non-class system IMO. The skills where a combination of attributes. Swords = Str + Dex + skill points. Summoning = Con + Wis + skill points. So you could focus on a single skill, but you would end up being kinda good at secondary stuff, but couldn't both be a...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I would keep Martial Half Caster Full Caster Warlock Psion Then do a sort of 4e style, where you get a new subclass at higher levels. Then you get a subclass at level 1 (fighting style or spell list). A specialization at level 3 (scout, evoker, oath of vengeance). And a master path at level...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I wouldn't simply drop it from 5e, even the 2024 version. I agree it would be hard to recreate with the current structure. But in 6e, I could see it redone as a rogue / paladin / druid subclasses. Depending on how much magic you want.

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    "The hands of the King are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known". That's not nature magic. It's divine. And he gets a magic sword (Excalibur) that recognizes him as a king. And he has high Charisma, boosting the moral of those around him, especially against frightened...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Aragorn had neither nature magic nor a beast. Not to mention all the treads trying to make a magic-less ranger. So that's not a point. And it's easy enough to add Beastmaster to any other class, so it's false to say you need a ranger to do that. Artificer has one for example. Druid or...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    No class is "necessary". Each one could of been mixed in with another. Clerics and Fighters could be Paladin subclass. But I do agree Ranger probably has the least identity.
