I know it is instinct for a snake or bear or something to attack a person who has invaded their territory, but it seems odd when a ranger is attacked by animals. I was recently wandering with a ranger and a bunch of snakes just randomly attacked.
Would it be more feasible if rangers were not attacked by animals?
Rangers and animal instinct
Ranger's just don't automatically get along with all animals. What they do get is a check that isn't unlike a diplomacy check with a person (obviously, via table top) - and even then the ranger would have to be able to study the animal before hand and the animal study him.
In a rp situation, you're probably better off "look"ing for the snake in adjacent squares and avoid it, but while by yourself, just gloss over those parts

Wild Empathy checks. Good stuff.Dugald wrote:What they do get is a check that isn't unlike a diplomacy check with a person (obviously, via table top) - and even then the ranger would have to be able to study the animal before hand and the animal study him.
When you're by yourself, it's not such a big deal. However, it's really embarassing when you walk into Ardeep forest and all your fellow rangers and druids get to watch you pummel a bumble bee into unconsciousness right when you walk in.

Perhaps rangers and druids should get a wild empathy check. That way, those more in tune with nature are less likely to get randomly mauled. Just a thought.
