It can be improved with effort. That effort is a great deal easier than moving up the socio-economic ladder. I therefore find your characterization erroneous.The beast master ranger looks to me like one where you do change up pets from time to time. So that's how I play it. If someone tries to play it in a way that is not supported, then they are making it harder on themselves.There's no real load on the DM in my experience. The smart play is to choose characters according to the campaign that is being planned e.g. don't pick a PHB ranger for an urban campaign. Choosing an effective character in the context of the campaign is just another player skill.</blockquote>
