So I was looking at the two classes when it hit me in the face...

Ranger Class Bonus: +1 Str, +3 Int, +2 Agi, +2 Res, +1 Life

Not terrible, nothing to complain about...

Druid Class Bonus: +2 Str, +3 Agi, +2 Res, +1 Stam, +1 Life

.....Now this is where I had to raise a brow. Rangers the physical class of the two gets a lower bonus to Str and Agi than the Druid...

while Druid which is the caster of the two....gets absolutely no Int bonus.

That seems odd, comparatively, since every other caster gets a bonus to Int as a class bonus. Even a slight one.

Shouldn't the more physical of the two classes conversely receive the better physical stats?

Proposal:

Ranger- +2 Str, +1 or 0 Int, +3 Agi, +2 Res, +1 Life

Druid- +1 Str, +3 Int, +2 Agi, +2 Res, +1 Stam, +1 Life

Or some variation of this. But as like every other class, the physical should have the more physically inclined stats and vice versa. I know Int is used with a Bow...but still, the GREATER benefit would go to the Druids.

Just a thought, thanks.

Rangers having bonuses to AGI and INT over STR makes sense to me.

Druids having a bonus to STR rather than INT, that is indeed strange.

@Farvel : Yeah I get it. The small strength bump with higher agility and int. But no way should a Druid get a bigger strength bump than a ranger.

Thanks for the suggestion

It's odd, yes, but it works.

Not everything can be picture perfect.

Just as a note, Rangers are normally seen as ranged fighters, and as such...Intelligence makes perfect sense for them here. Int is a stat very important to physical ranged attack and defense, and as such one likely to be quite important to rangers.
