This is the ultimate TTRPG cancer.

Rangers shouldn't be one thing or the other. It's a flexible skillset that can arise in any number of cultures.

Why does that upset you?

Hadn't put it into practice, but I had made up a ranger order that ran graveyards out in an area known for being infested with necromancers and undead, and they would offer to take the recently deceaced to their graveyards for, quite litteraly, two pieces of silver (either to melt down to make weapons or for actually making a bit of money). Obviously, they all take some kind of undead or humanoid as their preferred enemy to hunt down and destroy undead and necromancers.

I try to come up with at least three pre-generated orders for every class in the PHB 3.5 for my campaign setting. For rangers I have the following:

>The Black Watch
In the southern reaches of the Aedyrn Marshlands an ancient order of rangers maintain a delicate defense against the reptilian tribes that seek to encroach on the civilized lands. Skilled in combating kobolds and their draconic overlords, members of the Black Watch are famous for their mastery of their exotic repeating crossbows.

>Raynald's Rangers
Throughout the succession war of 1212 AB, the warring families of the Western kingdoms employed the usage of mercenary companies en masse. Many companies rose to prominence and later fell shattered but one company that endured were the Rangers of one Captain Raynald. Infamous for their ruthlessness, Raynald's Rangers ran a successful guerrilla campaign that secured the throne for House Dyn, as well as power, wealth, and influence for the Rangers.

>Snow Wolves
Not all the wolves of the white wastes hunt on four legs. Rumors tell of an ancient order of warriors who guard the frozen north, defending their borders and what lays within with single minded determination. Stranger rumors abound still of the same mysterious warriors embarked on quests in the south, to what purpose none can say. All that is known is that these warriors are always accompanied by great northern wolves, and that they are as deadly as their namesake.

Came up with a setting in which the UK and France have been at war for some considerable time. The entire English Channel was essentially once giant no mans land. Shattered with artillery and with ad-hoc units forming from the broken remains of other regiments in a pre-WW1 timeline, set in a tech level between WW1 and Crimean War.

One was the Pontoon Footsloggers.
