The following was suggested in the #ranger channel of the official Discord. Posting here per GM recommendation:

Problems:
- Rangers are magic tertiary
- Much of their uniqueness vs. Barbarians and Thieves is packed into spellcasting
- Heavily reliant on weapons to damage (similar to Barbarians, Thieves, Paladins)

Solution:
- Introduce a new metaspell (Syamelyo Kuniyo as the pre-req) that enhances their ranged attacks (bow, crossbow, sling, thrown) with a variety of effects
- No mana requirement for the add-on effect to your projectiles
- Metaspell ability should be on a timer, similar to the Heavy TM timer that other guilds enjoy (no spamming the specials)
- This would allow Rangers to leverage their martial prowess, augmented by their magical nature
- Fits with their Martial + Magic nature

Examples follow (prep allows you to pick which effect to add):

prep entangle, load arrows, aim, fire
If hit, normal arrow damage + temporarily stops target from advancing, retreating, or leaving the room
Contest: Finesse/Fortitude? or Finesse/Reflexes?

prep weaken, load arrows, aim, fire
If hit, normal arrow damage + temporarily reduces the primary stats on the target’s held weapons and worn armor
Contest: Finesse/Fortitude?

prep stun, get blades, hurl blades
If hit, normal damage + short arc light-like stun as the blades emit a bright light when hitting
Contest: Finesse/Fortitude?
