I like the idea of a ranger without spellcasting. I don't like the one presented in Complete Warrior, because it largely replaces spells with spell-like abilities, which defeats the purpose. So here are the abilities I'd give (all extraordinary, no supernatural or spell-like abilities):

4th level: Fast movement (as barbarian)
8th level: Uncanny dodge
12th level: Trackless step
16th level: Improved evasion
20th level: Supreme combat style*

*If the ranger uses two-weapon fighting, he gets to make a fourth attack with his offhand weapon. If the ranger uses archery, he no longer provokes an attack of opportunity when making ranged attacks. (Both of these, IIRC, are like epic feats, which I really don't think is inappropriate at 20th level.)

Tell me what you think. If you have other suggestions of extraordinary abilities that a ranger could receive, let's hear them.
