Rangers

Yea, on my Exploiter i have 18 open inventory slots, the rest are filled lol. I've gotten used to it tho

I heard rumours that this was possible but I refuse to believe that anyone can have 18 inventory spots open...

Well yea, if you carry Smiters, Disruptors, Paralyzers, every type of Greater bane in melee and bow form you're not gonna have 18 slots open. But i banked all that stuff a while ago, since there's nothing endgame that requires it.

haha when i got through and clear my bank space i found stuff using up space that was totally useless that I put aside when i was low level. What on earth was I thinking?

My house has enough junk in it that I end up treating Home Depot/Lowes as my storage locker.

If I'm not going to use it for years, I'll throw it out/give it away now and get another one when I do need it. It's like I'm paying them a storeage fee for keeping my basement clear for all those years.

I'm actually quite the "pack rat". I don't really like giving things away that I think I might need. In RL and in-game. But in-game when inventory space gets filled up and nothing is selling...gotta unload some stuff...some of which I might wish I had back...lol

You are correct about the dodge feat. A minimum Dex of 11 would be required to fit within my original parameters of +2 tomes only. My mistake.

If i'm not mistaken, someone who wants to be a Tempest I at level 6 can't rely on a +2 tome, s/he needs to start with at least 13 Dex, because:
->Tempest I requires Dodge, Mobility and Spring Attack
->Spring Attack requires Mobility
->Mobility requires Dodge
->Dodge requires 13 Dex

On the topic of reflex save:
Given that the discussion is about an elven ranger, which gets +2 racial and +3 class dex enhancements, even if you start at 11 +2 tome + 5 enhancements + 6 item = 24. Reflex save at 20 would be 12 (ranger base) + 7 (dex) + 5 item + 1 ritual + 4 gh = 29 without anything fancy. Not even counting a voice of master +1 or any raid loot. I'm not sure that bumping that reflex save higher is a good argument for putting more build points into dex vs. con. That would be the tail wagging the dog, imo.

You might be right, but i just pointed out a fact, cause people often focus on one aspect and forget about the others...

On the topic of ranger skills:
The two in question are hide and move silently. There are many ways to get a higher hide/ms. Adding build points to dex to get an extra +1 or +2 to these skills vs. a +1 fort save and 20 extra HP? Sorry. still not seeing it.

There is still no reason you can't work a 14 con into a strength or dex based ranger. Elf or otherwise.

I just pointed out a fact about skills, too. You are right that hide and move silently are the only ranger skills ruled by Dex, but Balance is an important cross-class skill that's ruled by Dex, too. In case the ranger splashes rogue (there's nice synergy between those classes) a good Dex would help Open Lock, as well (but afaik you don't need to invest much there).

Yes my ranger is a walking amoury and ive used all my weapon set slots, whats annoying is when i get a new weapon or an upgrade i got to resort all those combinations ect out all over again.

I think thats tone thing with 2wf, then you add 2-3 bows to the mix it takes up more space.

Heh, me too, but make it 6-9 bows even though i'm a Tempest

My inventory is really cramped usually

/sigh

i agree its not possible to do it by L6. however, you can do it at L7 with a +2 tome and 6 days

yes

Is exactly how I do my pure fighter on certain feats I actually go for the 13 level mark (+3 tomes) Which btw are a pain to farm but they come eventually...

I heard rumours that people had room for their stuff in their bank, ss or it never happened.
