[QUOTE="Having fun, post: 6864275, member: 6839813"] First off I am a level 2 Halfling ranger soon to be level 3. So now I face my first hard choice. Beast Master or Hunter?The campaign we are in started off on a new world with no humanoid inhabitants, naked with no tools. So we have literally had to survive from scratch. The DMs are not trying to kill us but then again in the 6 sessions we have played only 8 of the 20+ original characters are still alive. My reason for Halfling is Nat 1s are almost a 50/50 death trap and my hiding ability. Ranged character seemed appropriate for staying alive in the wilderness combined with Ranger bonuses was my reason for going going Ranger. But now that i have managed to survive long enough to build a bow, concoct paralyzing poison for my arrows and reach level 3 the question becomes Beast Master or Hunter. I Really like Horde Breaker and Volley but wonder if having a companion instead of just a mount would be better? Should I go Beast Master for the flying dinosaur or just try to capture a giant buzzard or eagle or the like to train as a mount?Considerations:(1) I will probably never use my companion to attack anyway.(2) This campaign is all about surviving not max DPS.(3) I like to help my team mates and contribute to the group but my life comes 100% first.(4) Seriously thinking of picking up 3 levels of rouge for the assassinate bonuses.(5) Seriously thinking of going at least 2 fighter maybe as much as 10 for the perks.(6) Maybe going as high as 11 ranger for Volley.(7) Took archery style at level 2.(8) 18 Dex.(9) Thinking sharpshooter > Lucky > +2 dex. My ideas being:(1) Do aerial scouting for group.(2) Fight at max range concentrating on crowd control (with paralyzing poison and spells) when necessary.(3) Stay alive at all costs.Any constructive advice will be appreciated.
