Trying to confirm, because it seems to me as if it is one case or the other ...I think a fair bit of the confusion I am having is that WotC seems somewhat conflicted in the writing of the Beastmaster Ranger rules. They definitely want to keep the action economy into mind, so they required the master to, for the most part, spend an action to make the beast do anything. But they also seem to want to acknowledge that the beast is an independent creature, able to act on its own without the master's presence, giving it its own set of actions and allowing for occasional autonomy. As for the ranged question OA question, I thought maybe it's relevant to point out Beast Protector lets you OA even if you aren't adjacent to the enemy making the attack, as long as you are adjacent to the beast itself. Not exactly what you're looking for, but perhaps a step there ...</blockquote>
