> I'm disagreeing that rangers should be able to see assassins who are hidden in the forest. despite being masters of the forest, rangers are not How do you figure that? Let's take two people.. one a ranger, the other an assassin. We're in a forest of pine trees. We got one person, the assassin, who's standing behind a tree, acting sneaky. We got another person, the ranger, who's covered himself in pine needles and stashed himself in a gully with nothing but a small hole to the surface that might give him away. Who is easier to find? The guy behind the tree, or the guy laying in the ditch covered in pine needles? Would look to me like they are both basically hiding in the shadows, although the ranger would be doing so in a more complete manner. Therefor, if we both can agree that a ranger is hidden better than an assassin in a forest, wouldn't it make sense that if the ranger could see other rangers hidden in a similar manner, that the ranger could also find the guy behind the tree? ...Rome...
