matt-- Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Creature Handler This profession combines skills from both the combat and creature handling disciplines. A player in this profession can tame and train animals. A tamed animal can be sold to other players who have sufficient skill to control the creature. Ranger This profession combines skills from the creature handling, outdoorsmanship, and combat disciplines. A player in this profession can “solo” as well as find creatures for the food or taming. Is it just me, or is Ranger just a more advanced Creature Handler? Can anybody clarify this? Or am I going to have to wait for the professions to be updated in Febtober?

Thew Rydur Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 It sounds to me like a creature handler deals more with taiming and training creatures, while a ranger deals more with shooting them. Just my thoughts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Well, the Ranger needs to know the behavior of creatures and how to handle them if he/she is to survive out in the wild, thus you need creature handling skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonan_Ren Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Similar but Creature Handler has little to no combat training while the Ranger is assumed to mix it up on a regular basis. The CH is a pure crafter where the Ranger is somthing of a mix of this and some combat. The CH is the ranch-hand and the Ranger is the Cowboy...

matt-- Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 CH is not a crafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonan_Ren Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I guess I should not say that they are a pure crafter as their description does say that they combine skills from "combat and creature handling" so they should be able to hold their own. The Ranger has some outdoorsmanship skills so I guess that’s one difference. However the CH's main task is to "tame and train animals" which can then be sold to another player to use as a pet. Using a skill to Make something (the tamed animal) of which you then sell is pretty much a crafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpocus Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 To me it seems the Ranger is much like you ol D&D ranger with tech gear:) Here are some skill but not sure if exact like in SGW. But you will get the idea. Handling animals= calming an enraged beast, knowing what kind of food a certain animal prefers..that sort of thing. Training animals= Like a CH but not as good. Teach it small tricks Get an animal pet. Using the skills above. Tracking Exploring Foreging To me it seems like the Ranger is like a Fantasy Ranger with combinations Explorer/CH and maybe other proffesions.. on the tech side:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendjir Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Hasn't the ranger been renamed to scout? Or is it an elite profession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 My understanding is that to be a good CH, you'll also need to be a Ranger. Being a Ranger will give you the necessary tracking skills to find animals to train and breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonan_Ren Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Scout is one of the 6 starting professions. Ranger and Creature Handler are Hybrid professions meaning that they take parts of more then one of the starting professions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 i tihnk its more training in the taming area and maybe possibly mercant? it said something about selling them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 I really don't think it'll take skills to sell something once in a while. You can sell your car by yourself without being a salesman, so I think you'll be able to sell creatures no-problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
