Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Twig" data-source="post: 6904919" data-attributes="member: 31754">Great information from an actual play test! But I do have a couple comments.Regarding the animal companion getting additional spotlight time. The only difference between the Revised Ranger and the PHB Ranger in play time is that the companion has a different initiative and Coordinated Attack. They both need to be moved separately, take damage separately and they both attack separately. The PHB Ranger can attack once and his companion can attack once. The Revised Ranger can attack once and his companion can attack twice (using its reaction). When it comes to spotlight, that's the only difference between the two. So if they went on the same initiative I think it would clear up the majority of the difference, but honestly I would rather the companion kept its own initiative and remove the extra attack.The second comment is that the Barbarian would also have advantage on initiative rolls by 8th level, although I would assume that the Rangers had a higher Dex bonus.Edit: Oh! And my players are horrible about being ready for their turn when it comes around. They decide what they are going to do when their turn comes up. Therefore casters take quite a bit more time than strait fighter types. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /></blockquote>
