Message: <blockquote data-quote="steeldragons" data-source="post: 6702741" data-attributes="member: 92511">Thanks for all of the feedback! This is great.Let Jason know that there is no language or intention that because the animal is taking the same action as the ranger, that means they are just working together/next to each other. To whit the ranger can have the animal attack someone other than they are attacking, the animal can Help the ranger, etc... I am confused by his interpretation and obviously the language needs more clearing up I guess.His concern about the action economy does seem to warrant closer inspection. My only initial reaction to that is, if the most attacks the ranger's ever getting is three. Yes, that does sound very powerful at 2nd level. But 1) How long is anyone lingering at level 2, realistically? and 2) the fighter still gets to be the only one with 4 attacks. Yes, the ranger is getting their 3 before the fighter does (at 11) but that's all they will ever have. Maybe it is not a significant enough trade off. Like I said, definitely worth another look. Also thanks to Carl and pointing out that I apparently need language (that it isn't already there puzzles me a bit), that both Animal Companion and Beast Champions are pertaining to Beasts...the ranger will never gain a brass dragon wyrmling (forgetting for a moment the idea whether a wyrmling would be big enough to use as a mount), because it is a Dragon, not a Beast.But the observations are all appreciated...the idea of splitting off actions other than attack from Animal Companion into a separate knack has legs, I think.Keep 'em comin'...and of course if anyone actually plays them, look forward to hearing about that too.</blockquote>
