 One area in which Rangers are //not// so effective is magic.  While a few Rangers have been known to join the Druidic order, very few bother to learn their magics.  However, their easy access to plants and animals allows them to dabble in alchemy, and many become quite proficient potioneers. One area in which Rangers are //not// so effective is magic.  While a few Rangers have been known to join the Druidic order, very few bother to learn their magics.  However, their easy access to plants and animals allows them to dabble in alchemy, and many become quite proficient potioneers.
