I know it might be difficult to implement but i was wondering if people thought giving rangers the Hunter's Mark as a baseline similiar if not replacing Favored Enemy would be too powerful since its almost a required grab for rangers.
I agree this is something that would be a big step towards addressing some of the shortcomings with the ranger class. Please have a look at the link below.... It's an amalgam of sorts, attempting to bring together recent work done by Mike Mearls to give the ranger alternate class features, whilst at same time avoiding a whole 'new class'. It offers an alternate class feature whereby you can swap out Favored Enemy as it is presented in the PHB for something that allows for additional attacks on your marked enemy.
It has a bit also from Unearthed Arcana and a very light touch of home brew. My hope is that in near future, we see an official release through UA, DM's Guild or something of the work Mearls did on the alternate features. (In particular, it grants a pathway to a more robust beast companion, and also provides versions of Natural Explorer and Favored Enemy that are not terrain and creature specific).

Please let me know what you think!
