those buggy rangers

[izarek]

The ranger (at least the grey elf ones) seem to be in a state of flux so i wanna know if what im seeing is a bug or not.

grey elf dex attacks: i have the same dex i had in alpha2, but not seeing the extra attacks nearly as much (i.e. i saw them 1/6th of the time in alpha 2 and like 1/100 or less now). I've talked to a couple others and they say they have less now. Is this a change, a bug, or am i just missing somtthing.

shillelagh: i know ya guys up there are aware of it. Many rangers have asked me if i m having the same problem so i'm just posting it so they know

range code: any chance we can have the old one in for now until you get the new one in??

any other rangers noticing anything else??

I seem to be getting more dex attacks actually, with a lower dexterity than I had before (heroic as opposed to perfect).

I don't get the dex hit with "good" dex. Also, all the new ranger spells are bugged, not just shill. Maybe not ALL, but I know goodberry is.

I think the current working theory is that something is wrong with spellcast nature. So all our non-nature spells might work ok... dunno though because I haven't tried the first circle ones and haven't gotten the second circle.

Notably, sticks to snakes doesn't work either, but FF and DI do.

Spellcast nature it is.

update on one of my questions/problems from earlier:

Dex bonus attacks: From re-rolling chars and talking to other elves, its beginning to seem like there are sub-notches in dex for the bonus attacks that dont match the +hit bonus from DEX. I doubt the gods will confirm or deny this, but this is what im thinking now since:

alpha2 ranger: mighty dex +7hit some extras
beta ranger 1: mighty dex +7hit rare extras
beta ranger 2: heroic dex +7hit some extras

*shrug*

Remember everything is just a roll of the dice. You might just be unlucky. Also, even tho your hit bonuses are nothced. I'm sure you could have had a low and high dex between the same two notches that affects your bonuses applied to your chance of an extra attack.
