Improved Evasion gained by Ranger

[poposun]

In change log, it said "Rangers now receive Improved Evasion at 9 ranger levels".
Someone told me the char get this feat like it is on items.
My question is: A char with 9 ranger and 5 SDD can choose Epic Dodge or not?

[Shhhhhhh]

No

[Alkapwn]

Thats absolutely correct.

If you search the following thread titled "Pure Ranger Ideas" the 2nd last entry by Linuxpup on page 3 will confirm "Ranger" Improved Evasion does not allow you take Epic Dodge the way 9 monk or taking it as a Rogue Bonus Feat.

Quoted for accuracy:

Not that it has anything to do with this topic, but I should mention that the Ranger's Improved Evasion is applied via creature skin (and not a native feat via leto), so it won't count as a prerequisite for anything (like Epic Dodge).

thanks a lot

Although that would be awesome ... BUT NOT FOR SL!!

Seriously, it would be an awesome perk for an underused awesome class.

I agree Frog.. fav enemy and bonus feats are the primary perk of a ranger, offensive spells only goof vrs goblins and verim, while the buffs will pop like a soap bubble in a storm, come the first dispell cast.

Hmm maybe open epic dodge as an epic ranger bonus feat, with only prequisit of minimum dex.

[LinuxPup]

I didn't want to mess with leto for a class bonus...

[Tru3Fals3]

the improved evasion gained by a ranger is not actually a feat but is added to your characters skin and therefore cannot be used as a prereq for any other feats, or something like that.....

[Rufio]

Well I guess this is why my ranger/shifter doesn't get improved evasion while shifted?

I knew I should have rolled a barbarian or fighter...

[Amoenotep]

but ranger/shifter is so much fun....good ac, nice ab, favored enemies...its hillarious

[Korr]

Correct skins dont shift, the new form has its own

I actually have a cool idea for a Pure Ranger class bonus:

Allow the Pure Ranger to see all toons on his mini-map, regardless of party alignment or anything. It would make the ranger a true tracker. It would be worth it to build a pure ranger just to have that ability for my party.

I thought it was a cool idea.....
