Player characters are supposedly special and more often than not, have backgrounds which are atypical for their race, so to me it is too restrictive to limit rangers to only the obvious racial background with regard to terrain (and to lesser extent, expertise). Storm giants especially suffer from this with a measly two ranger choices available, Mariner Savage or Mariner Hunter.

So in order to have more ranger options I hope Santa would consider allowing each race to have at least three terrain and expertise options. Variety is always good and this would create something new even for the veterans "who have already played everything".

As a starting point I'd basically start from allowing the traditional ranger (Forester Survivalist) for all, but here's a more detailed wish list for the races which currently only have 1 or 2 terrain options (and few expertise choices), in order of preference:

1) Storm giant

- Current terrain: Water
- Add new terrain: Forest, Marsh (+Plains, Mountain?)

- Current expertise: Savage, Hunter
- Add new expertise: Survivalist, Explorer, Animist, Beastmaster

2) Dark-elf

- Current terrain: Marsh, Cavern
- Add new terrain: Forest, Plains, Desert (+Mountain?)

- Current expertise: Hunter, Beastmaster, Explorer
- Add new expertise: Survivalist, Savage

3) Fire giant

- Current terrain: Desert, Cavern
- Add new terrain: Forest, Plains

- Current expertise: Savage, Hunter, Beastmaster
- Add new expertise: Survivalist

4) Gnome

- Current terrain: Plains, Water
- Add new terrain: Forest

- Current expertise: Hunter, Animist, Explorer
- Add new expertise: Survivalist

5) Svirf

- Current terrain: Mountain, Cavern
- Add new terrain: Forest

- Current expertise: Animist, Explorer
- Add new expertise: Survivalist


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus: the following already have 3 terrain choices, but could also be expanded similarly:

6) Frost giant

- Current terrain: Forest, Mountain, Cavern
- Add new terrain: Plains

- Current expertise: Savage, Hunter, Beastmaster, Survivalist
- Add new expertise: -

7) Arial

- Current terrain: Plains, Mountain, Desert
- Add new terrain: Forest

- Current expertise: Savage, Hunter, Animist, Beastmaster, Explorer
- Add new expertise: Survivalist

(Cloud giants also have only 3 terrains, but combined with their 4 expertise options they seem about right, though perhaps you could add Explorer)

Races have restrictions, particularly as rangers. We don't have the desire to expand them for the sake of expanding them.

With that said, I personally plan to look over some of the MOST LIMITED ranger-terrain/spec races and see about making them a bit better at what they are limited to. After all, they should be the fanciest in that terrain, right?
