So many cool options allowing different flavors of pets.Act on player's turn, faster and allows strategiesCons: HP per level is abysmal, very vulnerable to aoe, Action economy is wonky you use your action to command beast. Levels 3-5 you ranger is literally just talking the whole time if he has a good pet.Have to physically find animal. This is handwaved in many campaigns (such as AL) but realistically this is a big limitation, if your beloved wolf died and you are in a dungeon, you can't find a new one.No HD increase. Short rests don't help if you have not HD to spend.Hunter's Mark loses much effectiveness.Revised Ranger Pros:Pet gains savesPet gains skillsPet acts on its own.Cons:Lose extra attack, if pet dies, part of you diesVERY Limited selection RAW.  Mule is one of the 8 options? Really?Hunter's Mark loses much effectiveness.Lose out on Favored Enemy damage.</blockquote>
