Rangers should have things that help at range. Ergo, Sorcerers and Wizards that cast Magic Missile are rangers. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Imma make a PC that's a Yosemite National Park Ranger who is very confused about how they ended up in Faerun.

I never missed a shot with magic missile. Can your ranger say the same?

Yes. My ranger has also never missed a shot with magic missile.

Brian below linked the etymology - but a ranger for Tolkien was pretty close to a park ranger: someone who wandered the woods keeping things safe.
