h - We are playing a game that was designed by a commitee, none of whom
talked to each other. Ranger is from the Skills section and as such is
different from the Consequences section which is where the adventuring rules
were. As such, the rules bear as much relationship as a critcal chart in
Rolemaster does to the movement rules for Monopoly.

e - The GM makes all stealth and ranger spot rolls on behalf of the PCs.
Mainly because they don't get to know whether the skills work until they get
beaned or not. Thus the GM decides.
