[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8550006, member: 6704184"] A subclass shouldn’t rely on specific spells being chosen to not be frustrating to play. If I wanted to play a falconer, and had started a CharOp thread to that effect, and didn’t already know how the mechanics of the game work, this would be very helpful. And I’ve acknowledge it, multiple times, so why point it out again? I find that my time is more fruitfully spent when I [I]don’t [/I]assume that the people I’m talking to have literally no basic knowledge of the topic at hand. This is just dismissively flippant, and adds nothing to the discussion. Also, might want to read the Nature’s Veil ability from Tasha’s. Okay. Where did I give the impression that I was unsatisfied with my power level? Literally part of the point of the OP is that it was frustrating [I]in spite of how powerful I was. [/I] As long as your enemies don’t have very high strength saves, sure. What’s that got to do with the Beast Master? Or any part of the point of the thread? Difficult terrain can be really good, and if you’re in a forest or other area of dense foliage, the rest can hinder enemies nicely. It doesn’t solve any part of what makes the Ranger and especially the BM frustrating to play, of course, so I’m at a loss as to what your point is. Highly situational spells, which isn’t what you want when you can’t easily change spells and don’t know that many. That isn’t very many. And most of the best ones compete for your bonus action, compete with the attack action, compete for your concentration, or some combination of those. [/QUOTE]
