You can use the Drake as a mount if you’re Medium sized (it comes online slower than a Paladin’s Find Steed spell but…).Drake’s damage scales midway decently (IE you don’t have to wait until level fucking 11 for more damage although the Drake does have the problem that its initial d6 + PB bite is always non-magical RAW).Drake actually has decent armor / selectable resistances (14 + PB fuck you +1 over Beast Master lmao).Even if you can’t you can have it try an opportunity attack.) Drake actually does decent damage (2d6 + PB, assuming you can use the Drake’s reaction every turn which you should.Let’s just go down the point-form list of why Drakewarden is pretty much objectively better than Beast Master: 1/10 Pre-Tasha’s, 7/10 Post-Tasha’s Drakewardenīeast Master’s younger, cooler brother. But I absolutely wouldn’t go out of my way to play one outside of a very specific build. It does what its built for now (which is a far cry from how it was in the PHB), and if you want to play that sort of character it’s perfectly fine. The Sky companion won’t get hit if you’re not stupid but it’s really not that great overall, and the Land companion is pretty much objectively worse than the Drakewarden companion (discussed later.)Īdd in the need for Wisdom and you have a meh subclass overall even after Tasha’s “buffed” it. The thing is that Ranger has better sources of Bonus Action damage and the main reason to have a companion really is to divert some attacks, which is where the problem with Beast Master comes in. Your companion can do good damage, with the Land companion being able to knock people prone and the Sky one being able to survive with Flyby. Post-Tasha’s it’s an alright pet subclass. Beast Masterĭon’t play Beast Master without Tasha’s rules. For now enjoy my quick-ish thoughts on every Ranger. I’ve got exams for my summer courses to study for which is why builds have been slow, but I do have a few ideas in the pipeline for what to build. I felt like I made a decent enough writeup to post it here on this Tumblr. This is a repost of a Reddit comment I made a little bit ago to a thread talking about Rangers. ![]() ![]() (Artwork by Terence “Terrylefruit" Cantal.
