i think the game designers saw it fit to make the ranger bonus a passive skill, if you will, that is not represented in the feat list - but you can be assured that if you are a ranger and you are in light/no armor, the bonuses will be there - whether or not there is no way to really tell if it is in effect other than looking at your 'to hit' numbers. you didn't do anything wrong - you were just confused by the lack of the representation that you expected. |
Oh, yes, that's what I meant. I just couldn't find the right words to post.
Still, it's funny that, say, a Morninglord of Lathander AUTOMATICALLY RECIEVES the 'Improved Turning' feat, yet why doesn't the Ranger AUTOMATICALLY recieve 'Ambidexterity' and 'Two-Weapon Fighting' feats at first level. Still, what you have to say makes sense. I would have to say that would be more than just one copper for your thoughts, if you do the math.
