Some ideas. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Move shared spells down to 7, along with making the beast's attacks magical, keep Bestial Fury at level 11, allow the beast to take the dash, dodge, disengage, or help action without needing any of your action economy, right from level 3. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Also at level 3, you can understand the beast as if you shared a language. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At level 15, you and the beast deal extra damage on attacks when the target is within 5ft of the other.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All this would help to make the beast actually a scouting benefit, as well.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Give the beast a self-heal, and an at-will "spend a minute to heal the beast for 2d6" feature.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Give the subclass a feature that lets you share special senses stuff, like darkvision or blindsight.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Combine the revised Ranger subclass (other than the level 5 replacement for extra attack) with the Tasha's Beast of The Whatever statblocks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Just let the beast be a familiar with a Beast of The Whatever statblock, which is much simpler than the rest of my ideas.</li> </ul></blockquote>
