[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 6356325, member: 529"] Looking at beastmaster closely I can see some potential in it that probably can't be expressed in DPR. Beast are fast, have movements such as climbing and flying, and can threaten more enemies just by their mere presence, drawing attacks away from others and granting advantage with Help actions that are pretty much free at 7th level. Having an animal companion gives you options, and is pretty cool with regard to flavor. It's too bad their "share spells" ability is 15th level though; I think that should have been granted at 3rd because the power of it scales with the power of the spells you're casting. They should get something else at 15th level to enhance both the ranger and the beast's survival, possibly some sort of hit point sharing "life bond" ability. As an aside, it amuses me that we are continuing the grand tradition of being overly critical of every single ranger class ever designed. People are passionate about rangers! :) [/QUOTE]
