Ranger subclass
Beast Master
Fight alongside an animal companion; Tasha’s offers primal companion replacements.
Beast Master starts by changing the normal Ranger play pattern through Ranger’s Companion; Primal Companion (optional replacement), giving the subclass its first clear mechanical identity.
Later features such as Exceptional Training, Bestial Fury, Share Spells expand that identity at higher levels, so the subclass has a clearer role in combat, exploration, utility, or support.
