Honestly I think Rangers are over powered. I'm a rogue myself and am thinking of ranger so this isn't a "rant." I think they're over powered for the following reasons.
- Rangers are supposed to be about range - having an iron sword makes them near deadly in close combat. That should be a rangers weakness, not their strength. I'd give them a sword or even wooden sword. A bow can fend off most melee attackers with ease and an iron sword is REALLY overkill. My overall suggestion is to nerf the sword carrying abilities so that rangers are about range.
