That's just great. Shield use increased 1 PTP, Dodging went up 3 PTP 2 MTP, and FA went up 1 PTP. So much for getting those extra skills. : /

With the spell costs being dramatically lowered.. I think rangers should be the very last profession to complain.

You're forgetting that we have to train in other things now, like harness power and lores.

I'd like to know why in the HELL it was necessary to raise shield usage 6 PTPs. And to make dodging basically unattainable. I guess empaths were meant to be tossed around like a chew toy. And survival was expensive enough as it was. GM's are teh suck.

My ranger will be better off under GS4 that under GS3. He will have more skills and spells.

I cannot say that for my wizard or rogue.

6/6 for dodging better make my polearm bard goddamn invincible. I might as well give up on survival, since by the time GS4 rolls around you're probably going to need both first aid and survival to skin worth a damn.
