On a purely mechanical level, this can be a bit of an awkward pairing, with the marshal class wanting Strength and Charisma like a herald does and the ranger class benefiting most from Dexterity and Wisdom. On a flavor level, however, this combination sings; the most obvious example of this particular class pairing is none other than Robin Hood, who was not only a gifted warrior and master of woodcraft, but also (in most versions anyway) of noble birth and a capable leader. When building one of these characters, it is probably best to pick either Strength or Dexterity and focus on a combat style using that ability score, with your Wisdom and Charisma scores as secondary. A higher focus on levels of marshal gives you a skilled commander who is comfortable “roughing it” and taking more ranger levels gives you a wilderness expert who can be an effective leader. A roughly even balance gives you a true “Robin Hood” mix who can lead or move stealthily through the wilds with equal comfort as the situation demands.
