All the new players come in to it thinking wilderness guy with a bow, maybe swords, and a pet. These spells don’t count against the number of ranger spells you know. I disagree very much but hey, whatever your party wants to do/restrict is really what matters. If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected. Yeah, the game is slow with a big party, but I don't see how it's unbalanced. At level 1 they player ignores non-magical difficult terrain and gets Adv. That's something RR got 100% right. This is my issue with the PHB ranger.

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells. These two are definitely a power bump, but aren’t actually that critical. At 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. Alternatively, you can ignore the equipment given by your class and background and start with 5d4 x 10 gp. At 11th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. The one feature I immediated changed was Natural Explorer. That's over 400 (I'm lowballing here) characters and none of them have been a ranger. Those bits are some steps in the right direction. If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group. It would be nice if there feature allowed him to know to watch out for wandering bugbears without me having to tally them and point out their exact locations. What am I missing here? With base beastmaster you get a tissue-paper unrevivable pet that's useless in combat, a glorified mascot that's too weak, you'd get more use out of an advantage-owl familiar, or a druid can summon better stuff. Your group can't become lost except by magical means. 9 times out of 10 they want a pet, or to be aragorn/legolas. Stories describe primal beasts that mystically change form to align with the spirit of their companion. It greatly increases the power and flexibility of the Ranger class. You can have only one animal companion at a time. I give the Adv. This change represents a shift of focus in your martial training and practice, causing you to lose the benefits of one style and gain the benefits of another style.

This also works well with summons. The base Revised Ranger retains similar abilities to the PHB Ranger, but most of them have been reworked to improve their effectiveness. https://diogonegao.fandom.com/wiki/Ranger_(Revised)?oldid=19149, equal the beast’s Constitution modifier + your Wisdom modifier + five times your ranger level (the beast has a number of Hit Dice [d6s] equal to your ranger level). It's a shame they never returned to the revised ranger for a UA redraft. As normal, your companion can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise. At 18th level, when you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. The base class has all that stuff like 'You and your party can do X if you are in terrain Y for Z time', and the new one is 'You and your party can do X'. It's very nearly excellent but just feels a little wonky and faffy to play.

A special type of beast awaits a Beast Master in the wilds, a creature whose lineage stretches back to the beginnings of the world: a primal beast known as a Beast of the Air or a Beast of the Earth. If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes. I haven't seen anyone make/bring a ranger in over a year. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice. Players only know where they are when the ability is used. At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack's damage against it. Hit: 1d6 + 2 slashing damage.

Huh, I actively urged our new player to take the UA version, as it was more streamlined. This is not so easy.7 players + a DM for 8 people total.If they split, they've got two tables of 3 players each. Which it isn't, or else you'd have not chosen BM. The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice.

You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied. On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.

You can return an animal companion to life in this manner even if you do not possess any part of its body. Your bonus to damage rolls against all your favored enemies increases to +4. This is 99% of your problems right there. Such a creature seeks out the type of companionship that a Beast Master offers, ready for the two of them to battle the imbalances in the natural world. I've found that imposing myself in to the turn order twice was frustrating for my party. The animal companion loses its Multi-attack action, if it has one. I imagine that favored enemy will just get damage progression like barbarian rage, rather than a flat +4 at lv 6.

At 3rd level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class if you don’t already know them, as shown in the Primal Awareness Spells table. It's weird. I've been playing a Revised Ranger - Beast Master, in our Curse of Strahd campaign more or less since the UA was released. The companion obeys your commands as best it can. There is a big difference between dealing +8/round to a group of wraiths at lv 6 vs a balor at lv 20.

Beginning at 5th level, when you use the Attack action on your turn, if your companion can see you, it can use its reaction to make a melee attack against any creature within range. If you wanna be a plane-shifting teleporting shifty guy, then holy hell horizon walker is amazing BUT it's not what most people are after. At 20th level, once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. At 1st level, choose one of the following benefits, and then choose another one at 6th and 10th level.

Different DM every week, different characters every week. (I don't know what the solution is, if I had one, I would be playing a Necromancer in my current game).

Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

It also becomes proficient with all saving throws. As a bonus action, you can command the beast to make its maul attack or to Hide.

When you gain the Spellcasting feature at 2nd level, Hunter’s Mark doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know. Frankly, I wouldn’t hesitate to give the PHB version to any player who could justify it with their backstory. Last night, with the support of our DM, I abandoned the class and switched to a by the book Gloom Stalker. At 1st level, choose one type of favored enemy: beasts, fey, humanoids, monstrosities, or undead.

Ok so I brought this on myself - favoured enemy with +4 damage to Undead in Curse of Strahd is powergaming bullshit. This does not interfere with Coordinated Attack. If one player doesn't show, you have a game with 2 players, which isn't enough, IMO. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. on Initiative and the ability to ignore magical difficult terrain at level 9. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. The base Revised Ranger no longer gains Extra Attack at 5th level, as that has been pushed out to each subclass, now called Conclaves.

That plan hasn’t changed. Though the revised ranger retains many of the elements of the existing class, a lot has changed, so it’s best to simply dig into the new material to get a sense of how it feels. You are automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden. The beast doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy’s reach. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. I've seen beastmasters, people like that class fantasy. Never thought I would hear someone say this. Both will be legal for D&D Adventurers League play, and players of existing ranger characters will have the option to swap to the revised version. With the removal of extra attack, I'm not so sure the revised ranger is better than PHB for non-BM rangers (unless you're dipping ranger from another martial class, of course).

You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn't hidden from you and you aren't blinded or deafened.

While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area. Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons Tools: None Saving Throws: Strength, Dexterity Beginning at 3rd level, you have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit.

My party’s ranger used this recently to confirm the number of goblinoids in a dungeon. (a) two shortswords or (b) two simple melee weapons, (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack. (Unearthed Arcana; Replaces Hide in Plain Sight).

The RR went too far and basically handwaved all those related scenarios into auto success. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. This revised version of the Ranger was created by Wizards of the Coast, aimed at addressing the class's high levels of player dissatisfaction and its ranking as D&D's weakest class by a significant margin. When a primal beast is met apart from a Beast Master, the creature takes the form a regular beast of challenge rating 1/4 or lower, as determined by the DM.

No one I know wants to play them. At 7th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. Hit Points.
