[QUOTE="famousringo, post: 6825772, member: 6792445"] Ah, sorry, I can see how that may have looked misleading. I was trying to articulate that natural armor + Dex is the typical base formula that Mage Armor is replacing, and beastmaster bonus applies after whatever base formula is used (except Barkskin, obviously, because it's pants :p). [MENTION=6804468]leonardoraele[/MENTION] Also Absorb Elements, but the ranger needs to be targeted by the same attack and level 15. Useful feats include Inspiring Leader, Mounted Combat (must be halfling or gnome), and Sentinel, and there are some other useful multiclass options. And as I started off saying, while you're building to keep your pet in the game, the fighter or hunter ranger is building to wreck things more spectacularly.
