How does everyone feel about Rangers getting resistances to fire etc.?
A resistance i.e. 50% damage reduction seems like something you get from a powerful magical spell or item, or a physiological trait like Tieflings being half-devils. Not so much from a mundane skill or "experience" as the Ranger.
Mechanically, the Rangers resistance doesn't stack with magical sources. A Tiefling Ranger wouldn't be any more Fire Resistant than a human Ranger which is a bit of a flavor fail imo. The Ranger spells Absorb Elements, Protection from Poison and Protection from Elements all give you resistance which are redundant if you already have resistance.
Should Rangers get a Saving Throw Advantage instead that would nicely stack with Resistances from their spells?
