There's a reason that rangers and mages don't multi (and I agree that dual is really a case of game balance): their jobs are totally incompatible.

On the one hand, you stay indoors all day studying from books and scrolls.

On the other, you're involved in a six-week trek guiding *somebody* over the Matras...

On the one hand, your notion of home involves someplace that keeps plenty of writing materials, and is parchment-friendly.

On the other hand, your notion of home involves truly minimal indoor space, and lots and lots of really rugged terrain, with as many animals as possible hanging out right around you.

So, what do you say to your bear buddy when he accidentally knocks over a priceless brazier filled with imp's blood? And how do you keep sharp on your wilderness skills when you've been sitting in one place working on spell research for a week by lamplight?
