Add 'Grip of night' to Ranger

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Add 'Grip of night' to Ranger

Post by Millith »

Got a quick and easy one.

Rangers don’t have a lot of options when it comes to weaponry like shortswords due to the lack of UMD and it would be nice to see some representation for the sneaker rangers that fill roles sorta like gloom stalkers doing tunnel fighting and close quarters stuff.

I’d like to make the suggestion that “Grip of night” have ranger added to the classes who can use it, which I think thematically and mechanically would be a nice addition to fighting along side animal companions in tight spaces and giving some utility to the sneakier rangers out there.

It does not fit. This is a supernatural weapon that usually sits in the hands of people who typically have direct access to shadow magic, such as shadowdancers and assassins.

Rangers can get a different shortsword option instead, but thematically it does not make sense.
