@FlynnWurmI always look forward to UA. I usually make them an immediate addition to my game!
Dis ranger one tho…feels OP vs Barbarian it's definitely erring on the side of powerful

UA Ranger – Extra turn actions
@nadaval6the special extra turn of the UA ranger, does it have a move, interact with object, and bonus action? doesn’t say in UA yes to bonus action, yes to move, action can only be spent to attack or hide, as per the ability's description

UA Ranger – 2d6 hit dice per level? Why so high?
@SlyFlourish2d6 hit dice per level? Why so high? Just curious. pegs the ranger as the best at surviving stuff – ultimate survivor, a la Aragorn falling off a cliff in LotR movies

@Iscariot125 @SlyFlourishIt eliminates his need for hit and run/skirmisher tactics though if they can just soak it all up. artifact of earlier draft with companion that didn't require concentration

UA Ranger – Why Spell-less ?
@bedirthanyou tossed aside the “spell-less” Ranger for a full reboot. What lead to that angle? i'd prefer to nest such an archetype in the fighter

UA Ranger – Hit Point Dice during rest
@SalmonSquirequick clarification. 1d6+con for short rests or 2d6+con for short rests
you spend the dice separately, so its 1d6+Con
