You're welcome on the compliments, Dragon2005. I only say them because they're true [img]smile.gif[/img]
BTW, the best thing about the ranger is the ability to learn fletchery. That's also known as the Gael Serran ATM, since it's a constant source of money. Just enchant a dragon arrow, start fletching it, and you can make millions. Literally.
I never have a problem with the final battle any more. If you enchant your rings and bracelets for protection from fire, ice, and magic (+4 each), you can actually cast a firestorm on yourself and do no damage. That's what Missy did when she took out Scanthril... [img]smile.gif[/img]
First time through, though, you generally don't know about those things, and it's much, much harder
