@CresstianAs the New Ranger uses Primeval Awareness if it does not spell slots?
I like the Ranger without spells and Primeval is very weak assume ranger can use it once per short rest as if expending a 5th level slot

@FlynnWurmI always look forward to UA. I usually make them an immediate addition to my game!
Dis ranger one tho…feels OP vs Barbarian it's definitely erring on the side of powerful

@Kynewulf74How does Primeval Awareness work with the UA, given that it doesn’t have spell slots? not very well? should be once per short rest, 5 minutes

@jstormtrackerso the new Ranger can only use his spirit companion for 1 minute per day? summon it for 1 minute per day

@jaa0109As written, Ambuscade allows Rogue to Sneak Attack twice during initial round of combat, unless I’m missing something. Intended? yes

@YetiMooseRngr5/Ftr2:Ambuscade atk, 2 normal atks, bonus action atk via TWF or Polearm Master, then Action Surge for 2 more atks? 6 Atks? yes

@mikemearls Ranger's new Ambuscade ability; You gain that special turn in addition to your normal turn in the Initiative?

@mikemearls And if so, it's only for the opening round, correct?
— John Appleton (@jaa0109) September 9, 2015
@jaa0109 yes to both
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 9, 2015
@jaa0109For that special turn, you can ONLY make an attack or Hide? Do you also get movement and bonus action, or no? as it stands, you get movement and a bonus action on that turn

There’s a lot of buzz about this new playtest class and I apologize if you love Monk or Sorcerer.
your humble zoltar sage
@Kynewulf74I’ve mixed opinions on the new UA as a base ranger, but it’s got a lot of good, outside-the-box ideas, and provokes discussion. the ranger is interesting case, in that its identity is at issue. hopefully will touch of a lot of interesting posts, blogs, etc

@ZackFurnissThey’re a ton of fun to throw into the weekly rotation, too. Who cares if they aren’t balanced! that's the attitude!
