Level Up's Ranger

I watched all these 2014 D&D videos on YouTube about "how to fix the ranger" and how people house-rule and patch them, comparing them to the still-broken class in 2024.

Then I saw videos comparing them to the Tales of the Valiant ranger, and said, "Wow, they fixed the class!"

Then I went back to Level Up.

They had the ranger fixed years ago. And not only fixed, but fixed well. It is even better than Tales of the Valiant. The ranger in Level Up is a different beast, pun intended. The class has exploration skills called knacks. You can focus on various areas, such as combat, survival, companions, supplies, survival checks, or any other area. Your familiar terrain ability is for all terrains. You get three subclasses, and only one of them is a spellcaster.

Of all of the 5E clones, Level Up is the best-designed of them.
