At the tables that ive played at whenever a class has an ability that summons or adds a minion that minion get their own action and bonus action that is separate from the players however in intuitive order they always take their turn with you. honestly that is a homebrew i think should be at every table XD

Or bare minimum they roll their own initiative but get your proficiency modifiers like in BG3. They even get your modifiers on their rolls and AC.

Love your deep dives man, keep ‘em coming

My group dropped the Ranger's Companion rule out entirely and houseruled in the Hunter's Bond animal companion rules from Pathfinder instead. We still use it now, even after the Tasha's Cauldron update.

I get what you mean, but the primal companion only needs a bonus action from levels 3 and 4. Once you get Extra Attack, you can use one of your attacks with your action to command it to attack, so you can free up your BA for some Spellcasting or Cunning Action

Good video with some great things to think about.

I love your videos. Thanks!

As another has mentioned, you have a choice of using a BA or an attack during your Attack action. What's fun at 17th level, with Swift Quiver, you can make 2 BA attacks, have your companion make 2 attacks as part of 1 attack in you Attack action and then you make a 3rd attack with your 2nd attack of your Attack action for 5 attacks. Also, you didn't mention what I feel is the best part of the Beast Master - it's the only class with a companion where the companion moves on your turn, not after. It reflects how much more fluid you and your companion are compared to a Battle Smith or Drakewarden.

I house rule that a primal companion needs one bonus action to attack, but unless the pc wants that beast to do something else, the beast will continue to attack. We’ll see how it plays

This makes the most sense. Like why would they stop after 6 seconda and just sit there and wait for you to tell them to continue again?

I just allowed large beasts, added "The Call" to magically tame a beast upon a summons, and limited the beasts power level to 1 cr below the character level, so at third level you would get a cr 1 large beast.

Wouldn't that be cr 2 at level3

I don't think you get beastmaster until lvl 4 so I would give a cr 1 to a level 4. Yeah, I think you're right, my math was off.

@enterthedungeon looking forward to see videos

Love the videos! I was wondering, where do you get you dnd B-roll videos and images? I see lots of official dnd photos and other things, and have been wanting to add similar things to my videos. Thanks for the great content (:

I prefer Ranger's Companion over Primal Companion.

When using footage of fantasy shows as examples of what the Beastmaster looks like visually, it's a missed opportunity that the author of this video did not use any footage from the movie 'The Beastmaster'... aka, the greatest movie ever about a Beastmaster Ranger.

Whoa. it’s a sword and sorcery flick from the 80s. It gained cult status for the gaudy awesomeness. It feels like a Beastmaster in the Dark Sun setting if you know old school dnd.

Ok Enter the Dungeon Hear me out. 3 lvl dip in Rogue, Thief archetype, 2 bonus actions. Just sayin!!!!
