Irrespective of their writeups, everything you described a Scout doing is something I would expect a Ranger to do. And I would be very disappointed if they couldn't. Their ability to fight in the wilderness is a side effect of them being able to do all of that other wilderness stuff.Dimirag wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 8:05 pm"Thief" is the OSR way of saying "Rogue", characters that their primarily focus depends on their subterfuge skills.
The Ranger (fighter) is a warrior, trained to combat foes out in the wilderness.
The Scout (Thief) is a rogue, trained to move thru terrain an enemies, either to gather info, collect and object, or open the path for its party.
Both need to know to live from nature, same as barbarians, shamans and others...
They shared some skills, due to the similarity and difference of their concepts
Anyway, there was an ask for input, so I made some. That it was so badly off target is disappointing. (I am not disappointed that my input is rejected. I am disappointed that I just can't seem to understand what is being looked for.) But, good luck with the update on the class.
I will update my Compendium effort with the final version when it is completed.
