[QUOTE="ElterAgo, post: 7498387, member: 6972046"] I am brand new to 5thEd (though I remember clear back to the blue and pink boxed sets). Just finished 1st session with this guy in Red War Tier 1 Adventure League. Did surprisingly poorly. Stealth never worked once. Rarely hit with bow or blade. Unconscious 5 times (once in first encounter twice in both of the others). Wood Elf Ranger level 1, planned to take archery fighting style Align NG Deity Mielikki Background Outlander Str 12, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 10, Wisdom 14, Charisma 8 (took stat array though I am allowed to take point buy if it will work better) Longbow, shortsword, quarterstaff Prof skills are athletics, stealth, nature, insight, perception, and survival. Haven't planned what to do with him in the future yet. Was thinking about the beast master archtype to get an animal companion. But if I'm reading this correctly, the animal companion never gets any better than it starts. So it seems like it would become quickly useless. Am I misunderstanding this. If I'm correct, guess I will take the hunter archtype. Not sure if I should take ability increases or feats at the level gains. Ideas how i can make him more effective? Comments, concerns, suggestions, advice? [/QUOTE]
