Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 7830005" data-attributes="member: 6802378">When I was a child my first contact with D&D was the game-books "Endless Quest". It was almost in the same time of the "D&D" cartoon show, maybe one of the icons of the 80's. Then RPGs were totally unknown in Spain. One of the things I loved of the stories were the animal sidekicks.It is a concept too good for potential merchandising. A beast master not only could become a base class, but also a own spin-off of D&D, a new line as Pokemon or Digimon, or Mattel's Enchantimals, or al least a new D&D world as a remake of "<a href="https://kaijudo.fandom.com/wiki/Kaijudo_Wiki" target="_blank">Kaijudo: Rise of Duel Masters</a>". Who would be so crazy to allow a monster battle arena? Easy, the sorcerer-kings in Athars. And some gladiators would be cursed with mutations to become creatures as fomorian giants as punishment for their crimes. And some civilizations of Spelljammer with great love for bets. And in any places fights with lethal damage between sentient creatures wouldn't be allowed.   <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoyalAnimalCompanion" target="_blank">Loyal Animal Companion - TV Tropes</a>I remember the occultist class, created by a 3rd Party publisher, Radiance House, for a Pathfinder sourcebook about vestige pact magic had got a special class feature, the vestigial companion. * What if a player wants a monster tamer and a monster character? It would be using two PCs, and with the right distribution of XPs reward to avoid a leveling up too up. But we could find 3rd party publishing sourcebooks about monster classes (for example dragons) to be used with a "monster tamer". Maybe we would see anything like the remake of "Council of Wyrms" where dragons ask help to "dracolytes", their loyal "squirrels". * A 3rd party could create a class as monster-tamer, but not only an animal companion, but a little squad of minions or even a swarm, playing like a warlord in a RTS.</blockquote>
