Any realms books that focus on Rangers and their activities?
Thanks. |

I enjoyed that book when I read it but have forgotten some of the details. IIRC he was just an adventurer/explorer and not a ranger. |

Bah, any other drow could do most of that stuff anyways.
Yup. It's called "Scout".  |

I had kind of forgotten that Drizzt was a ranger.....
He does not seem to be interested in Mielikki anymore either. |

I forgot about the Rangers Three. I need to re-read that trilogy someday. It was a good one. |

The lead character who received a boon from Alassra from The Simbul’s Gift by Lynn Abbey seems like a ranger to me. |

At the risk of seeming self-serving, I'll diffidently mention that I've twice used rangers in major supporting roles, once in the Year of Rogue Dragons trilogy and once in The Black Bouquet. The ranger in The Black Bouquet, though, is a fish out of water in a dangerous urban environment, so if you want to see a ranger doing typical ranger stuff, that one might not do it for you. |

Drizzt has never shown any particular affinity for nature. We never really seem him defending a wilderness area or pack of wild animals. He's got some of the trappings of a ranger, but where is his ranger heart and soul?
He seems to be more hung up on personal adventure and protecting his friends. |

As for novels with Rangers...I would love to see one about non-epic heroic rangers dealing with ranger stuff... |

The novel Sojourn features the blind semi-retired ranger Montolio "Mooshie" DeBrouchee, who was Drizzt's ranger mentor, and who seems to have withheld quite a few of his ranger skills from his apprentice. |

Pool of Radiance trilogy is one that has a ranger named Ren. Old school realms novels but a fun read.

I haven't read most of the older FR novels, so I can't speak for those, but of the more recentish novels the only ones where I could say that a Ranger was one of the main characters is in the Knights of Myth Drannor trilogy by Ed Greenwood.
That's assuming that you already know about Drizzt. Though to be fair he's kind of a gimpy Ranger, he rarely shows us his woodsman skills. If Salvatore didn't keep calling him a Ranger and have him worship Mielikki everyone would consider him a Fighter. |
