[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8309199, member: 53980"] Like I said, I think that solution would work great for some groups, but would be a showstopper for others. Although having someone play the beast might be a fun colab, I definitely don't want to need another player's buy in to run a beastmaster. Think of it like this. Let's imagine that someone made a playable dragon. And because dragons are powerful, they made it as powerful as two full characters (maybe it gets two turns, or legendary actions; the implemention isn't particularly relevant). Some groups would be perfectly fine with someone playing a dragon and getting a double share of XP. For other groups though, it would be a no go. Not everyone is okay with sharing half the spotlight time that another player gets. I think that for many groups, a playable dragon that is only equivalent to a single character can be more appealing, despite that it doesn't have that overwhelming true dragon feel that the double character implemention has. Granted, some groups would rather the true dragon, so it wouldn't be an issue for them. In fairness though, neither option precludes the other.
