Once again, I'm going to use my CP D&D (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BJOYlk7muLvDsabcTlnP3SCqBt3pEETzPd0ccSOlndM/edit) rules to lay out the class.
Abilities
*Additional Attacks (30)
*Armor Optimization (10) (allowing the ranger to survive while using lighter armors)
*Back Protection (10)
*Climb Walls (5)
*Damage Bonus (10) (like the 1e bonus v. giant class)
*Detection (5) (includes traps, secret doors, and hearing)
*Empathy with Animals (10)
*Followers (10)
*Improved Combat (10)
*Improved HD (10)
*Improved Proficiency (Herbalism or Hunting) (5)
*Improved Proficiency (Survival) (5)
*Improved Proficiency (Track) (5)
*Improved Surprise (10) (in lieu of a straight stealth skill)
*Increased Movement (5)
*Magic Item Use (5): Warrior
*Pass without Trace (5)
*Proficiency Group Crossovers (10) Warrior, Priest
*Special Enemy (10) (either 1 enemy type at +/-4, or two at +/-2)
*Style Specialist (choose one) (5)
*Unusually Accurate (5)
*Warrior Ability Bonuses (20)
*Woodswise (10)
Base is 210
Hindrances
*Can Never Retain Wealth (15) (Keep what they and their mount can carry)
*Limited Armor (10) (no more than studded leather)
With hindrances is 185... a little lower than a Paladin. The character has no magic, but a variety of skills. They're limited to light armor, but that is slightly mitigated because they can make the most of that armor. Fast, stealthy, hard to surprise, they're limited in the wealth they can keep and the armor they can wear, but have no restriction on alignment or odd hang-ups.
