[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7478490, member: 22779"] But, again, the UA companion does what you want [MENTION=12731]CapnZapp[/MENTION]. It's strong enough not to get killed in combat (and, simply adding 3 death saves to the companion fixes that completely) and deals enough damage that it makes for a decent second attack. Remember, the UA companion is attacking twice per round, typically - once on its turn and once on the ranger's turn. That makes a pretty big difference. See, I've actually played in groups with the the UA beast master. If it wasn't the top damage dealer in a given fight, it was probably second best. It consistently pumped out very comparable damage to any other martial character. AFAIC, the class is fixed. Job done. I would suggest that instead of theory crafting, actually TRACK the damage done by your characters for a couple of sessions. I think you'll find that the UA beast master ranger is fine. [/QUOTE]
