You might want to keep a decent CHA for wild empathy if you intend to never leave that forest.

If you want to be a melee ranger, take the Archery Path, then build as if you were a Barbarian. Power Attack, Leap Attack, some decent two handed weapon, etc.

Because two weapon fighting totally precludes any decent melee. The Archery Combat Style at least gives you some versatility, which is always appreciated.

good point about decent melee....but i thought he was going to be scouting primarily

oh well...just switch to Archery....just as good...but still take Weapon Finnesse at 6th

Isn't there a prereq for quick reconoiter? Like skill focus-listen or something?

Why not play a Scout instead of a Ranger? That way you can find traps also.
