[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7767536, member: 6871653"] I would have to see (or even better, play it) how this would work out because IIRC, Beastmaster's pet have a different way of calculating HP and AC. For the rest I'd let them stack, with the idea that at level 3, the pet-sidekick is level 1 and that it level each other level, not every ranger level. So a lvl 20 Beastmaster would have a lvl 8 sidekick wolf with magical attack and shared attacks and spells that it could further enhance with spells such as Awaken. As for the warlock, when a warlock takes the chain pact, it gain a superior lvl 1 familiar-sidekick (must choose if its a pseudodragon warrior, an Imp Expert or a Sprite spellcaster, for exemple). The warlock can then select invocation such as Voice of the Chain Master to improve its sidekick. Sure, other players might get other sidekicks, but none will be better than the warlock's, unless the DM give a higher level sidekick to another player before that or at the same time. To me it would be like a DM handing the paladin a Flametongue weapon at the same level that the warlock decide to go with a pact of the blade; its a little unfair. EDIT: I could totally see an fighter or paladin archetype with a sidekick-mount and features that mesh well with that. [/QUOTE]
