[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 6404306, member: 59057"] I have to say, I don´t like shared actions too. My requiring is just not having such a class at all. The original plan for the beasts was just have them as a special kind of hireling. Just a beastly kind, and this is what I will do at my table. The summoned familiar however is not a creature as the original one in its own sense. It is a magical construct which has to be directed by you. I don´t even like it to have its own initiative, when the ranger pet shares its initiative with the ranger... I could also see the familiar requiring concentration to attack as the cost you pay. Maybe you just have to direct it mentally. The ranger pet should just need a single action to be set at a target, maybe even just a bonus action and maybe also requiring your concentration. If your concentration breaks, there just should be a chance that your beast goes wild or flees. Other mechanics, still balanced, as a pet ranger can´t use hunter´s mark in conjunction with his pet.
