[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8433384, member: 6915329"] Wow, this looks great. This is pretty much what I want a ranger to be like. But, of course, things to say: Gnolls are still humanoids? I hope they got de-demon-background'ed in the MM, then. I felt they were still kinda too demony in the monster playtest. (My actual hope is that "gnolls" is just a mistake brought over from o5e and you fix it to read, I dunno, elves or something.) Are "game animals" ever really defined anywhere? Does it count if the Narrator says the town of Stoneburg declares that gorgons are game animals in their neck of the world? Or does this ability only work with beasts? If it's the latter, I think you need to say that. If it's up to the Narrator, then hey, that's pretty awesome. Flash of Steel? Free maneuver, no exertion cost? Awesome! I wonder if any of the other martial classes have something similar. Can another ranger of sufficient use your hunter's blind without inadvertently ruining it? For Under the Stars, do you have to spend the remainder of the time in light activity, or can you just get up and go? Is this the "be the annoying [I]morning person [/I]who gets up at the crack of dawn and jogs a few miles before breakfast" trait? Personally, I'd alter Beast Friend so that you can get a CR 1/4 beast at 11th level, or CR 1/2 if you're a Beastmaster (and maybe have a note that Beastmasters can get CR 1 beasts at, say, 17th level). Nevertheless, I [I]love [/I]that Beastmasters can give their beasts temp hp and bonuses to attack and damage. I don't [I]think [/I]that there should be any issues if you used the Beast of the Air/Sea/Land stats (they have no CR) instead of a regular-issue beast, but what does everyone else think? I think the Wildborn does a great job of having spellcasting rangers, for those people who really prefer more magical rangers. All, in all, this is a great class! Edit: A nitpick: There seems to be an extra space above Waste Not. [/QUOTE]
