Strider, 5th Edition Fighter Subclass
Here is my Ranger-themed Fighter Subclass: The Strider! If you enjoy this material, please send me money via my KoFi . Rangers Suck. At least that is what I keep hearing. And then I look at the Ranger Class and give it a good long read and comparison to other 5e classes, and you know what? Rangers suck. They are supposed to fill this special niche in the game as roaming wilderness warriors and keepers of nature.
