    Default Good stuff for a dex melee ranger

    Hey guys. I'm looking for good weapons, powers, feats etc. that would serve a melee dex ranger well. Thanks, and as always, go nuts.
    Player: I'm going to make a new character, I suck at bard.
    Me: Your only saying that because you died.
    Player: So?
    Me: Everyone dies when they do stupid stuff between two rogues.

    What kind of Ranger are you using? Because the default melee Ranger uses Strength. Finesse Weapons are not a thing here.

    There are a heap of Ranger Powers in Martial Power 2 that are both Melee and use Dex for attack. Amusingly, they're not restricted to Light Blades; feel to dive into a battle swinging your Mordenkrad of Fullblade very carefully.

    EDIT: More seriously this pretty much requires MP2, which also contains class feature choices (Running Attack, Hunter Fighting Style) that support this kind of Ranger.

    I'm aware. The biggest thing I'm looking for is dex to damage.

    Unless you are using a Dex mod damage power, that's not going to happen, I'm almost certain.

    Closest thing I can think of is reverse: Half-Orc Rogue PMC Ranger/Martial Archetype.

    Actually pretty good.

    You could play a scout ranger which has dex based attacks. It will limit your power acquisitions (most notably no daily powers) but is full dex focused.
