Beast Master v1.5.0 #

Subclass Version #

Use the TCE version of this subclass as a base, it is a significant improvement over the original subclasses design.

You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block when you first gain this feature, and additionally whenever you complete a Long Rest.
You choose where the Beast moves when it does so during your turn, and you can choose whether or not the Beast takes an available Reaction.

This feature is gained at Level 1 and spells normally granted at 3rd Level in Ranger are granted at 1st Level instead.
You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Beast Master Spells table. Each spell counts as a Ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of Ranger spells you know.

When you reach 3rd Level in this subclass, you gain the following two Empowered Mark options.

Attacks made by your Primal Companion against Creatures Marked by your Hunter’s Mark feature deal an extra 1d6 damage.

When your Beast Companion hits another Creature with an Attack, you can activate your Hunter’s Mark feature, which must target that Creature.

Remove line about using a Bonus Action to command the beast to take the Dash, Disengage, or Help Action on its turn, as this is part of the Primal Companion feature already.
In addition, the Beast gains a Multiattack allowing it to Attack twice whenever it takes the Attack Action, and the Damage Type of its Attacks is your choice of Bludgeoning Piercing, Slashing, or Acid (chosen when you Summon your Primal Companion).
- (Nonmagical Damage was removed, see: Miscellaneous Change Collection).

When you command your Primal Companion to take the Attack Action, it can make Three Attacks as part of its Multiattack.
Additionally your Primal Companion gains the benefit of your Hunter’s Mark.

Additionally when you affect your Primal Companion in this way you both gain Temporary Hit Points equal to half your Ranger Level.
