Daggerheart monkey boy

So despite having no one to play it with i have been reading the daggerheart open beta materials and took a crack at making a character to see how it feels. And let me say I typically prefer way more crunchier systems like 5e and Pathfinder and Star wars (All more or less the same system which shows how boring i am), so I thought i would find it quick and boring with no real investment. And it was quick, but in a really good way??? I quickly figured out what I wanted and with the tools available to me already feel like I'm making great strides, as compared with dnd5e where it feels like you have to wait till 3rd level to get juicy. This system is just fun out of the gate. I made a Wildborne Simiah named Sage, and he is of course based around Sun Wukong the Monkey King. I wanted him to be hard to hit and hit heard, so I went with Ranger with the Wayfinder subclass, and at level 1 his Evasiveness was 14, and when I bumped him up a level to see what that was like I got it up to sixteen. And instead of giving him a shortbow like suggested I gave him a quarterstaff for the ~~vibe~~ and don't regret it. With my high agility score and I can quickly close distance, hit losers with a 2d10+ instinct weapon, throw on a additional 1d6 with rangers focus from my class feat, and uh oh I still somehow not do enough damage? I spend stress and yesss I did. Apex Predator allows me to never hit below their minor damage threshold. Oh and guess what? With the ferocity feat and one point of hope my Evasion is temporarily increased by how much hitpoints I knocked off an opponent. Meaning I just became that little kid in play fights going 'nuh uh you cant hit me I have super power shield blah blah blah' and then proceed to whack you with my stick. I am level 2 and feel so much closer to the Sun Wukong fantasy with a ranger than I ever did with a 5e monk. Thank you Mathew and the Daggerheart team. I have created a terror that exists only in my mind and thats whats gonna get me through work for the coming weeks. I like to think of him as only 3 feet too. If that helps.
