I'm creating an NPC ranger for my party to encounter, and I want him to basically be focused on his animal companion. Towards that end, would you think it's an even trade-off for him to lose the ability to cast spells, but advance as though he were a druid in terms of his animal companion? If you think not, what if he also sacrificed his combat style? Thank you for your thoughts, I know it's random but I need some extra input
