Why was Ranger chosen as the Kagonesti favored class? Why not Barbarian or (in my mind most appropriate) Druid? Elves are supposed to be such a magical race, and druid just seemed to fit so well. Also, with not much of a written language of their own, barbarian works well for fluff -> game translation.

Just curious.

That would be Margaret, Jamie, Chris, Don and the folks at WOTC. ;)

I can only assume it's because the Kagonesti are so at home in the wilderness that their natural tendency is towards the skills of a ranger. There aren't a huge number of Kagonesti druids, and barbarian might be a popular choice for the Wilder Elves but it's not as wilds-focused as the ranger class.

Cheers,
