View Full Version : [4E] Class Acts - The Exotic Beast Master Ranger! (PEACH)

Design Notes:The Ranger is regarded as one of the strongest strikers in 4E, but the beast master path (from Martial Power 1) is largely looked at as unsuccessful and weak. While I'm not sure such a path could ever be mechanically up to snuff with the default ranger, part of the problem (in my estimation) is that WotC was EXTREMELY conservative when it came time to designing powers and paragon paths that put that beast to use. From the word go, that beast companion's attacks are getting compared to Twin Strike and it only gets worse from there. This problem is then compounded by a lack of ways to consistently boost your companion's attack and damage numbers, meaning that at almost every level damage from the pet will be significantly worse than a basic attack from the Ranger themselves (to say nothing of an at-will or encounter power). Beasts can have attributes comparable to a PC, but with no feats, magic items, or proficiency bonuses with their attacks they quickly get left behind even though they add their full level to attack rolls (instead of half).

This is especially sad to me because in my dream Azeroth 4th Edition campaign, Rangers are the ideal analogue for Hunters from World of Warcraft and the Hunter class in the game is all about the pet companion. Further, the Hunter is exclusively a ranged class, but the handful of Beast Master Ranger powers that are even remotely worth using are actually melee attacks in D&D.

The following content aims to "fix" this class feature. I don't want to make it outright better than the other ranger fighting styles, and am honestly uncomfortable with the amount of blatant OPness I'd need to include to do so. Instead, what I want to offer are powers that are comparable to the strongest Melee and Ranged powers at each level for the Beast Master, a Paragon Path that feels appropriately "character defining" in the way Battlefield Archer and Stormwarden reward dedication to their fighting styles, and a handful of feats that help the beast companion have attack and damage values that are at least a little bit closer to a PC (although not equal).

New Paragon Path: The Exotic Tamer

"Wolves? Bears? Feh! Ye haven't truly experienced tha wild until ye've wrestled an devilsaur ta a standstill and then bonded over roast boar. Tha wild holds a million criiters: why limit yerself to the ones that are right on the beaten path? " - Hemet Nesingwary, a dwarven Exotic Tamer

Some Rangers seek to bond with a beast companion, feeling more comfortable with wolves and eagles than their fellow adventurer's. For some Rangers, however, these "mundane" animals simply aren't interesting enough. Like the fighter that seeks to master the strange and exotic spiked chain or boomerang, an Exotic Tamer seeks to find, subdue, train, and master the weirdest, wildest animals imaginable. These companions are powerful allies that frequently confuse and bewilder foe and friend alike with their strange powers.


Paragon Path Features:
[B]Exotic Beast Master (11th level): Upon becoming an Exotic Tamer, you may replace your current companion with one of the exotic beasts listed below. The name in parentheses indicates that this pet counts as that family of pets for the purpose of certain powers. This happens instantaneously.

Great idea! :smallbiggrin:

Bad execution. :smallfrown:

The Beast Mastery path has flaws, yes. Fun fact: None of the printed "Beastmaster" powers are worth the ink and paper they took up. Your best option with it is, strictly speaking, to pick up a greatbow and use your pet as a spotter for your Hunter's Quarry.

If you want to actually fix it, on the other hand...

Take a look at the Sentinel druid in Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, and/or the Fey Beast Tamer theme in Heroes of the Feywild. The best fix would start with having the ranger's beast companion blocks look like those.

Then would follow through by fixing the feature swap; Beast Mastery should cost an at-will power, not Prime Shot. Telling your beast to attack takes up the same action as attacking on your own, and any ancillary effects on the attack are dependent on what kind of animal you've befriended. :smallsmile:

Then, we need more powers that enable paired attacks, of course!

I was hoping that new feats would make up for losing Prime Shot, but I'd agree that giving up Prime Shot is too much, and think that this fix could definitely rule it and say that you give up an at-will power to have a companion, and don't get another fighting style, but keep Prime Shot (and have it work with your companion). Honestly I'm not sure even giving up an at-will is necessary...

It's a much larger rewrite to give all companions a passive aura or rider on their attack...do you think it's necessary to make them effective?

The aura, not so much. I'm looking more at how defenses and hit points are determined; Sentinel and Fey Beast Tamer have them as flat "your defenses" and "your bloodied value," respectively. Giving up an at-will compares it to the Sentinel; your second at-will is your beast companion's attack, with whatever riders that entails. :smallamused:

Basically, if you want "ranged attacks with a pet," it's fine as-is; most Sharpshooter builds use a raptor as a spotter. If you want to actually attack with your pet, prepare to jump through a crapload of hoops just to reach baseline ability, because the option was provided without thought to how lack of enhancement bonus would affect you and only addressed half-assedly at best afterwards. :smallannoyed:

Alternative proposal: instead of making the companion cheap, lets make the companion expensive:

Beast Companion: A Ranger may give up Hunter's Quarry in exchange for a Beast Companion.

When you have a Beast Companion, your Prime Shot bonus applies if no ally of yours is closer to the enemy than you or your Beast Companion.

When you do so, you gain a Beast Companion (chosen from the list below (TODO)), and the at-will power Companion's Strike.

Companion's Strike + Minor Action
Effect: Your beast companion makes a basic melee attack.
Special: You may use this ability once per turn.

You can order your companion to take an action by expending the same kind of action yourself. If you are unconscious, your beast companion will act on its own.

---

Basically, I have replaced the Hunter's Quarry class feature with a different one. HQ has a 75%+ chance of connecting (assuming twin strike) for a DPR of 5.25 at level 1, which gives us a baseline feat-free estimate of a basic melee attack by your companion.

In general, powers should grant your companion basic melee attacks, with possibly bonus riders, which allows us to have companions that attack Ref or the like by default. Ie, a power might grant a basic melee attack with an extra +2 damage.

Now the design of the "bonus minor attack" is that it is possibly too strong, and corners out possible other power space. Suppose we drop that, and instead roll the HQ damage into the beastmaster powers (making them "better" than they should be)

Ie:
[b]Combined Attack + At-Will
Standard action
Effect: Make a basic attack, and your beast companion either makes a basic attack or charges.

This now competes head-to-head against twin strike plus hunters' quarry. By folding this extra power into the beast master powers, we make non-beast master powers "less tempting" (because you lose HQ, and don't get anything for it), but we do leave more design space for the beast master powers.

The Beast might have a basic attack that is seriously nasty, and scales really fast, under this kind of model, because we are competing directly against Twin Strike+HQ -- with the minor action attack, it would limit the rate at which the Beast's basic attack scales, because it only competes against Hunter's Quarry.

Found it! (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26092097/-E-_Druid_to_Druid) :smallbiggrin:

Now all that's left is the necessary edits to make this version useful for the ranger, and powers useful for both... :smallannoyed:
