[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7118910, member: 17607"] Between our two scheduled sessions, we have 14 tables at our FLGS. I can re-check, but to the best of my knowledge, none of them has a Ranger who is eager to take on the Beastmaster option, while I know three people who have said in so many words that, once the UA Ranger is legal, they'll be retraining into Stalker Conclave if it's allowed. I'm guessing my info is more generally applicable than yours. Well, I'm glad you managed to [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?502577-5E-Beastmaster-Ranger-Update&p=6947304&viewfull=1#post6947304"]read your own review[/URL] of the class, but the discussions I've seen and been involved in express concern over the restriction on beast type, the loss of Multiattack, and the eventual need to choose between using the companion's reaction for offense or defense (starting at 11th level) make folks leery of jumping feet-first into the class, especially when comparing those options to the entirely unchanged Hunter Conclave (which was already considered the stronger PH subclass), and the obviously potent Stalker Conclave.
