To me they feel a bit much, given I didn’t feel my ranger was struggling at low levels, though I’d hope that it’s the sort of thing Larian might consider for FE improvements at level 6 if they carry on the theme of their home brew. But that’s just my instinct. They’re probably not enough to break balance in practice.
It is worth noting that this is just my perception of ranger not having seen what they unlock as the game goes on. It is kind of easy to see lvl 5 as the late game. If each FE gets some sort of unique progression at lvl 6 or 7 (sort of how draconic sorcs are supposed to get stuff based on their dragon ancestor at lvl 6) that would address many of my concerns. Hopefully that is the plan.
Though I do hope that the initial bonuses for sanctified stalker and mage breaker especially can be rethought a bit. As has been discussed, true strike and sacred flame cantrip aren't super useful or meaningful to the kit. Unlike other FEs which are incredibly meaningful (heavy armor ranger is kind of a game changer for example). Many good potential alternatives.
