No one told me that gloomstalker rangers are basically monks with arrows. It's one of many discoveries I've made on my latest Baldur's Gate 3 sojourn that's seen me revisiting a semi-abandoned save game. My mission? Respec my entire party to rangers, despite having zero comprehension of how to create a solid ranger build, and see for myself what makes the class so loathed among Dungeons & Dragons players.
But what started out as a harmless experiment has taught me about more than just subclasses and feats. I'd forgotten that this particular save had gone markedly off-the-rails by the time I'd decided to park it, a gift for future me to worry about. But the desperation of loading into the Gauntlet of Shar while masquerading as a rookie ranger and morally ambiguous True Soul had me trying out some in-game pathways I'd never dared to before.
