D&D 5E Any 20 level Beast Rangers out there?

[CTurbo]

I'm curious how "good" a high level Beast Ranger would be with a Wolf or Panther. It seems like the beast would be pretty tough after the additional hit dice, ASIs, and added Proficiency bonus to AC, attacks, and damage.

Revised or core book? Because the two play VERY different.

I'm kind of curious about this myself. [MENTION=6786252]Mephista[/MENTION] Revised specifically.

Probably the UA revised Ranger. It's way better of course.

While we are on the subject, if beastmaster ranger(UA version) takes Ape as a companion, could he wield weapons?

I'm thinking of relative simple weapons. clubs, mace, morningstar. no problem with edge alignment.

Also armor?

That's obviously up to the DM. Physically speaking he can wield weapons and wear (custom-made) armor, but he won't be proficient in either.

warhorses wear armor with no problem, so I dont thing it is a stretch to have ape wear hide or similar "simple" armor. Also ape has 6 int that is enough to learn to use tools.

A warhorse has been trained for war and wearing armor. The MM specifically calls out the warhorse as the one animal that can wear armor by default.

The DM can, of course, allow the ape to be trained to wear armor (and potentially, even use weapons) but that can't be assumed. The DM is also well within his or her rights to say, no you can't have a war-ape.

A wizard probably has a 16 to 20 Int but he still can't wear armor (by default).

There are none, who would do that to themselves.
