* All my builds will be updated and posted on the "new forums" once everything is final. I don't like to update my builds until then due to sudden changes that might arise before the final update.
Title:: Hell Minotaur Ranger - STR Build
Nickname:: Mr. Minotaur
Race:: Human - Minotaur(secret)
Alignment:: CHAOTIC EVIL
Level Progression[/u] - 6Ranger, 2Fighter, 6WM, 2Fighter, 4Ranger, 1WM, 19Ranger
Description:: This is my first Ranger Build ever! I've never played the class, and look forward too. I've been looking at ranger builds all day, and didn't really find what I felt I wanted a ranger to be. This build didn't aim for dual weapons, but instead a large weapon with a tower shield. I want to take this ranger to hell so suggestions to make small changes are always welcome. I took fighter for the heavy armor feat, and it helped how fast I got WM in the lower levels, which I needed help with feats as ranger. Don't forget to take your +1dex at level 3 so you can take certain feats needed to get WM. The build overall I don't think can change much since everything kinda fits in place. I can't wait to get this build up in levels and test its abilities to the max. I'll let you know how it works out after the fact.
More Info on Ranger: highergroundpoa.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=info&action=display&n=1&thread=6669&page=2#1152265875
Ranger:
-Can speak Animal. You can type !listlanguages to see what languages your character knows, and to get instructions on using those languages. Some races and subraces also get racial languages. See the Subraces board for information on racial languages.
-Added new epic summons for rangers, in lieu of placing creatures in each area for them to empathize. You will need to be a 20th level or higher ranger, and get an item by praying at the great tree in the druid circle. The item summons creatures of increased power at levels 25, 30, and 35, and 45. Legendary levels count towards unlocking more powerful summons if the character's control class is ranger, but you must still have at least 21 ranger levels to get the item.
-On first using the altar of legends, characters with 40 levels of ranger will receive Improved Evasion as a free feat. Characters with at least 25 levels of ranger will receive Evasion as a free feat.
-A character with ranger as their control class gains +1 to constitution every 5 legendary levels.
-Rangers receive Shield AC on weapons wielded in their offhand. See the book in the item shop for details.

OK!, before you post anything on this build. I already have like 3 other versions of this. I do want suggestions on small improvements on this. I will be making this build soon to play with the minotaur race. I want to make this clear on what I was aiming for:
- Strength Build Ranger
- Minotaur Sub race
- Ranger Control Class
- All Three LL Save Feats
- WM Must be included
- Halberd + Tower Shield (STR Build)
- Heavy Armor (STR Build)
Overall this build should be able to hold its own in hell with the right gear, I don't know since I haven't been to hell, but what I do know is this is the best Ranger build I could come up with. But I don't know everything, so suggestions are very welcome, just please follow my guidelines to what I want to play like as a ranger. I don't really care about dual weapons because I'd rather have a shield, even with the shield bonus on the second hand.
******
Version 2.0 of this build offers Halberd as the standard weapon and 4 fighter levels to increase the feats needed for the build to flow better, and increased saves.
- Note : If you take spear, you'll be able to dual wield it, plus have shield bonus from ranger. Must have the two feats needed on a item (which is simple from what I know). I personally just want a halberd. ;-)
