Okay here is a homebrew for the 5E Ranger that I have mashed together from the PHB, UA, and a couple of my own ideas. It's probably a little OP but I'm gonna run it a bit and see what happens. If anyone else wants to have a go and see what they think, that would be great. I've tried to combine different elements of what a Ranger "is" and see how it goes. Constructive criticism and ideas are appreciated. At least give me a courtesy spit...

2d6 HP per level? 12 at start?

Seems excessive.

That figure is from the 5E UA from the WOTC site. I actually like the idea. It boosts the overall durability of the Ranger and gives more flexibility for healing using hit dice. Time and experience will tell if it is too much. It puts it on par with the Barbarian but in general the Ranger will have a lower AC than the Barb. It reinforces the idea of the Ranger being a durable bugger without being a tank. He'll generally get hit more often but can handle it and heal a little faster.

Interesting, especially the Field Medic ability (I'd rename it "Hands of a Healer" for extra Tolkienesque resonance) but what I'd really like to see for 5e is a non-spellcasting Ranger.

I think this proposed class is non-spellcasting unless you pick the Spirit Path subclass.

Was it intentional to buff the ranger's saving throws? Because the current 5e philosophy is to give each class one useful save (CON, DEX or WIS) and one useless save (STR, INT or CHA).

My bad! I'll give it a spin if/when I run 5e.

The Dex & Wis saves are from the UA. Reasonable as far as I am concerned at the moment. Honestly, I find many occasions to ask for STR, INT, CHA saves, so it is difficult for me to consider any of them useless, though I do understand the reasoning behind that line of thought.

Thank you. Let me know how it works for you.
By the way, I like the "Hands of a Healer" phrase. It has a nice ring to it. I myself prefer non-spellcaster rangers.
