Martial Elf Ranger of the 1st Forest an ACKS Wednesday post

This is a class developed using the Martial Elf race for the Adventurer Conqueror King System RPG (or ACKS rpg in brief) using (at the best of my ability) the rules for building classes presented in the ACKS Player's Companion.

The Ranger of the 1st Forest is the first class I present for the Martial Elves, some of this classes will have "of the 1st" in the name since they are inspired by some classes of AD&D 1st edition.

The Ranger of the 1st Forest is built trying to mimic the 1st edition Ranger.

Ranger Divine Spell repertoire (5 spell per level):
1st level: Cure light wounds, Locate Animal or Plant, Predict Weather, Pass w/out trace, Resist Cold
2nd level: Charm Animal, Delay Poison, Resist Fire, Snake Charm, Speak w/animals
3rd level: Call lightning, Cure disease, Eyes of the eagle, Growth of Animals, Water Breathing

Ranger Arcane Spell Repertoire: like a mage and needs a spell book (must find a teacher to learn spells or to change them), rarely a ranger will change his arcane repertoire

Ranger Skill list: as Elven Ranger in ACKS Player's Companion

A Martial Elf Ranger of the 1st forest can build an Elven fastness

In ACKS terms it is built as follow:

(1625) Martial Elf 3 +
(0625) Mage 1 (delayed availability Level-8)* +
(0250) Cleric 1 (delayed availability Level-6)**

*max 2nd level spells
** max 3rd level spell, +1 3rd level spell

as a five point class The Ranger of the 1st Forest has a level limit of 12

trade off
Unrestricted armor to Broad (+1 power) +150 XP
no turning undead (+1 power)
* & ** (+1 power)

total cost 2500+150=2650

powers:
+tracking (like elven ranger)
+bonus melee damage vs beastman and giants: ranger adds +1 to damage at 2nd level, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th (for +6 that is cumulative to the +5 from fighting 2)
+bonus hd at 1st level (so he goes from 2d6 at 1st to 10d6 at 9th level + 2hp additional levels)

Designer's note
I eyeballed the value of some non standard trade-off but I think that I come close to ACKS standards.
Obviously any suggestion is welcome.
