Why? Just because people only played 3E, 4E, and Pathfinder? Or because of Drizz't?
Most of the Rangers I have played were in 1E and 2E, so no pets. If I wanted a pet back in those days, I would have had a Ranger/Wizard multi-class with a familiar. And the reason I think it should be a Barbarian subclass is because of the Beastmaster movies.
enh? I played a 1e Ranger like a year ago and had a whole storybook full of pets; Griffons, Giant Owls, I think a couple of bears. Just have to roll well on the followers table. (Granted that's at 9th or something.)
