True, but why don't you give them a boon then? Other than the ability to hide, the ranger doesn't have any special bonuses while fighting in natural terrain. You said before that a ranger is a guerilla specialist, but shouldn't that extend to more than just being a good sniper? Perhaps some abilities that let him use the natural terrain to his advantage in other ways, not really because it's a needed boost, but just to give the ranger a little more versatility when fighting in his niche.

Um...let's see, let me try and think of an example so I can explain what I'm talking about...Oh, how about the ability to take 10 on Climb checks when climbing trees, and retaining your Dex mod to AC while climbing (along with some kind of bonus to-hit/Hide checks made when making ranged attacks from a tree)

Additionally, maybe the ranger's keen tracking senses should expand, like giving him the scent quality, or blindsense/blindsight?

Maybe you could include the Track feat in your list of feat fixes, and give it a special ranger-specific bonus to really cement it as useful to the ranger (while letting other classes take it and get the normal benefits of the feat)

Also, maybe you should give rangers proficiency with the net? After all, nets are useful for hunting wild animals, so it would make sense for a ranger to have experience with them.
