Continuation and further variation with the Mystic Ranger

[FenrysStar]

In the class acts section of Dragon 336 there was a version of the ranger class I rather liked in the Mystic Ranger. I have a question and a suggestion related to this variation. First the suggestion which in some ways is a question in and of itself. I had this weird and wacky idea of making a psionic ranger with varying degrees of success. My idea for a Psycho Ranger starts with the mystic variation. Instead of spells he receives powers, using the same table and power point progression as the psychic warrior.

The second point is a pure question of what spells from the just released Spell Compendium would be appropriate to possibly add to the 0 level and 5th level lists of spells? One spell in particular I think should make the Mystic Ranger's Level 5 spell list is Wind Tunnel as it affect archery.

hi im very interested in the mystic ranger class for a player of mine im a bit confused about the casting level, is it 1/2 per level as standard for a ranger or full?. The text in Dragon#336 states they wield spells more effectively but isnt clear on the caster level. I like the idea of a psionic variant also there are some good powers in races of the wild that would fit well.

From what I can recall of the article the spell casting for the mystic ranger starts at first level instead of fourth level, they add 0-level and 5-level spells, and slightly lessen the combat ability.

I have not played a ranger so I am not sure if this class is worth but my thinking is the quicker you get spells the more abilities you have. And some of the combat spells for rangers rock.
