If you don't mind branching out a little, taking a point in scoundrel and picking the haste skill (currently ONLY available at character creation I believe) is an option.
If you don't want to cheese henchmen crafting, then crafting is a very good pick on a ranger.
Leadership is more efficient on a mage, but roleplay reasons are solid reasons if you want it on the ranger.
I have some points in Charisma, again some people will say it's inefficient, but I like it for convincing my second character not to kill everyone etc.
WP/BB maybe?
