D&D 5E Ranger Beastmaster is Overpowered: Shocking video evidence

[Ancalagon]

There has been a lot of debate in the community as to the power level of the ranger subclass, Beastmaster . Particularly, there were some concern that the new versions from UA was overpowered.

Following an extensive playtest, I can assure you that it is massively broken. Nothing can stand in front of it. As I don't feel like writing a 50 000 word essay detailing our campaign, I instead bring you this shocking video evidence:

As you can see, not only is the beastmaster overpowered, if you let it in your campaign, things will get... peculiar. Sad.

Only if you allow the Bard multiclass.

I'm surprised more people aren't debating the value of the Chicken as an animal companion. Clearly needs a nerf.

Incontrovertible proof. Can't argue with the facts.

Was this vision real or was I dreaming?

My next character is going to be a Beastmaster ranger, with a chicken who has taken monk levels. Call me a powergamer, but my chicken will end you before you can finish the word power.

"Now go, now fly. You own the sky."

Clearly the chicken needs a nerf as well.

"Oh what a cute little chicken, is it your pet?"
"Yes"
"How is it called?
"Genji"
*runs*

 

[Ancalagon]

Oh, and it's not just chicken that are the problem!

About two weeks ago, playing Skyrim, of all the dead bodies in the area to raise as a revanant, my follower chose a chicken. No joke. I was like, "Why a chicken!!".

Now I know why. My follower knew something I did not.
