Be the beast, master the beast, feast with the beast on the meat and bones of your enemies.
You see right there that’s the spirit !!!
Not gonna lie, the cheesy Beastmaster movie from the 80’s was one of my favorites growing up.
I don’t know why I have never played one of these, but it’s such a cool fantasy troupe.
Yeah boy beast master 1 had those bat people that would like liquify you, or was that the second one? Either way I loved them
@@TheSinisterheroes that was the original one. They backed off once the eagle came to his side. Very cool and creepy monsters.
I loved them both
There aren't any bad jobs, its up to individuals who play and understand the strengths to them. When I first played dnd, it was a setting in the Capitol. We had a beast ranger who in rp was a exotic exhibition for animals to the local wildlife of the non aggression . She used the rats to survey and follow our list of culprits. Our rogue hoped the rooftops to gather evidence for a crime we never commited while my guy was held for trial.
Did you end up getting cleared of the trial? Did you find the people setting your character up?
@TheSinisterheroes turns out it was the whole damn court itself that needed an excuse to kill grija for simply being a minotaur. Basically, they were " purest " who view citizens like Grija as subservient cattle slaves and nothing more. Clearing my good name mattered little as it turned out. They just wanted to show it as a display of control over their people while the real victims never got real justice. So we did the unthinkable, the rouge and ranger got me out will sending messenger birds to a kingdom that did see all as equals and caused a war. That war also revealed a far more dire truth as it was directly above the underdarks capital. The teachings of lolths very cruelty was being taught by the drows elders in secret to the peoples of the Rasenburns nobility, it's citizens and even it's cabinets, marketers, hunters.. practically everyone in twisted beliefs of lolths only viewing purity as absolute. Eventually, our king, who was our paliden before I joined, realized how grim it all was to have the underdarks wickedness ideologies surfaced and taught, a ramification that must be prevented at all costs. Near the end of our campaign, we founded a direct tunnel leading to the cathedral of lolth in the very underdark with the vile king in silent prair, while this was happening Grija as well as our dueragar armorer were fighting Grijas most hated enemy, a nasty hill giant that killed his daughter, broke his horns and laughed in his face while having me in headlock. The king was the drow elder in disguise and became lolths avatar... It took all of us to bury it all for those unable to escape prejudice. To this day, it blew my mind on how amazing dnd is for that very story is my introduction on not just a fun game, but how storytelling can truly be implemented.
That is an awesome campaign. Its stays with you when your part of something that great. Kinda jealous. But so happy that Grija had that moment of revenge and heroism.
@@TheSinisterheroes everyone that participated in the campaign were already trying to break into fantasy novels back in 2009 and being a first year was life adjustments. Our dm was a diabolical smart ass 🤣 made it a running gag that Grija slept in the stables during the campaign. At the core of it all, the story we were in was morally about finding your own truth. Our paliden became a king not for his father’s deeds but bring more fairness to the less fortunate. Our rogue beast master devoted her youth to understanding wildlife across the world. Our duregaur dreamed of being a man of adamantine and crafted til he couldn’t no more, until he did by being inspired by Grija’s stern physic, tenacity and humbleness to offer his services like pulling the wagon across lands to save on horses. Our shadow warlock whom lived at the kingdom had to unlearn his behaviors to better understand people, and except all. And for Grinja, he had to learn to let go of his deep fury, despite it being his greatest strength, it would have inevitably killed him, so he reflected back to his days as a very young sailer of the seas, and even to this day he is at peace across the totem’s isles were he fishes for a living, laughs and loves when he is visited by his friends.
Last time i played this one i used the tasha’s version and played a dwarf ranger with a goat kinda like the WoW racial mount. I would use beast sense to use the goat to spy on people in town. Nobody every suspects a grazing goat to be listening to their secrets
🤣😂🤣 no one suspects the goat! Thats cool! I really need to take out my yuan ti ranger
I didnt play the beastmaster but swarm keeper with a little female halfling who summoned deadly butterflies. I had average stats but she did well. I took two weapon fighting and dual weild feat. At level 6 i was +6 to hit without magic weapons still but 1d8+3 rapier plus 1d6 for either favoured foe or hunters mark plus swarm allows an extra 1d6 piercing once per turn. Then second arrack rapier is extra 1d8+3 then off hand i had scimitar for 1d6 +3. Not bad for a little girl with butterflies...on one attack i used the swarms move ability instead of 1d6 piercing to move enemy 15 feet instead and drop them off a cliff. Was a fun character
The tactical ability of the swarm keeper is great and when not needed the extra damage is awesome. I really enjoyed playing it. If you got to high level that swarming dispersal is just to die for!
I am glad you had fun this was the subclass that made me really really like the ranger. There’s so much to it I think it’s amazing.
Small race benefits from medium-sized companions for mounted combat & lances but sometimes, I just want to play the game with a pet. Honestly, I prefer the original Beast Master Ranger.
It pairs exceptionally well with Arcana Cleric for Nystul's Magic Aura. Now you can treat any medium-sized creature of CR ¼ as a "beast" for qualifying as a Ranger's Companion.
Really surprised you prefer the original beast master, that seems unusual to me. Mainly because all your builds and ideas are so well formulated, and have a clear strength in their strategy. Maybe there is something you’re seeing clearer than I am. I’d love to know what that particular knowledge is.
@@TheSinisterheroes I like the complexities of it. While it probably won't happen, you can legitimately start off with a dinosaur. How to roleplay that is beyond me, maybe an egg found as an archeologist? I like the possibility of playing Disney Princesses or Studio Ghibli characters like Ashitaka and Yakul. Yakul is a red Elk, but the closest qualifying creature is a deer.
Instead of playing a Wizard, you can play a Ranger as a Witch with an actual cat or crow instead of a Familiar... or better yet, start off with Ritual Caster & get both a Cat Companion & Crow Familiar or vice versa. Or with Tavern Brawler to attack with a Broom & Grapple as a Bonus Action with Canny Expertise: Athletics. Or with Poisoner, apply poisons from your own mixes or your poisonous companions that can be found easy with Detect Poison & Disease, harvested with Canny Expertise: Nature.
Another is Actor Feat, with Canny Expertise: Deception & Druidcraft. Now if there's any question if the animal sounds from Druidcraft through the Druidic Warrior Fighting Style were real or fake, well, it'd probably sound real most of the time. Eventually, your Companion can Help you make the Deception checks.
Yeah half way through that read was the rabbit whole of complexity that you conjure so greatly. Seeing that as a concept is awesome!
The biggest issue I had with the serpent master ranger I played is movement kept restricting everything I could do & then the game ended earlier than expected too. I was hoping I could find a way to make it work, but between my bad rolls, saves always being behind, the movement issues I seemed to keep running into & the game ending early it just kind of made it less than desirable & I have not tried it again. Though the halfling flying-beast master really inspires me to try again. Finding a DM that would allow me to have a Pteranodon 3rd level though might be difficult.
What do you mean the movement kept restricting you, you mean the snakes?
@@TheSinisterheroes I'd be just outside of range, would move everyone within range using all my movement & bonus action up to get us close enough & the rest of the party would smack the creature my snake would get one bite & then it was gone, or work my bad rolls I'd miss but the creature would be dead by time my turn came round.
That’s super unusual. Your luck must of been astronomically bad for that to happen. If I was a gambling man I’d bet my life that wouldn’t happen again. Thats just incredibly unusual.
@@TheSinisterheroes my rolls are typically bad, even when everyone else is rolling for stats most DMs tell me to use point buy. Not certain how I am effecting the dice the way I do, but it is especially bad with d6s. One DM had me roll three sheets of stats before he told me to use point buy. I play many tank or support characters as a result.
?????? Are you rolling actual dice?
Okay instead of putting in my usual two cents i have a question how the heck did you make your channel logo
I had a bunch of discussions with a graphic designer. Some other ideas floated around and then they sent me this bad boy and I was just all in
@@TheSinisterheroes should i ask how much the price was
Sure it was around 200-300? I believe it was a few years ago now. Are you interested in getting a logo done?
@@TheSinisterheroes possibly I might be getting a pc soon though blind luck so I'm like screw it all I do is game might as well make videos then i realized oh crap need a logo
Yeah seriously let me know when you start up !!! It’s a lot of fun really. I’d love to return the favor and support!
Also definitely shop around somethings are worth the money
Tasha's Beastmaster sort of ruins the entire point of the Beastmaster class. Is it better mechanically? Arguably, yes. Certainly cleaner than the PHB version. But the PHB version is actually really good -IF- you understand that your Ranger exists to support the beast companion, not the other way around.
I always considered it not as the beast first but as you and the beast as one entity, as opposed to two separate ones. You are right in your thought process, as you begin to shift from just what your character does, to what you do as a team, that’s where the real understanding comes in.
@@TheSinisterheroes Often people will complain about the survivability of the companion but honestly they're incredibly tanky and RAW only limits the companion to CR 1/4 at level 3 or if you have to commune with a new one. But even a wolf with low HP can still easily have better saves and AC than most of your party.
They buffed them a little later on, though there was a ua that gave them asi increases when you got them, which I think was awesome
@@TheSinisterheroes They did. And the printed version of the PHB has different wording than DnDBeyond does. They never updated DnDBeyond when they buffed the companion HP haha
Seriously considering most campaigns don’t go past 12 it’s a better subclass than people gave it credit for
Not gonna lie the player's hand book sucks 😂😅 how many subclasses do we have left? And are we for sure going to cover the Tal'dorei subclasses? I would prefer a yes or no on the last question
I won’t cover the taldoeri subclasses.
But we did finish all the subclasses I just have the release dates spread out so I can finish the races and then it’s off to other new material that scares me
@@TheSinisterheroes ok fair choice thanks for satisfying my curiosity. how many subclasses do we have left then?
3 but then I am gonna try and bounce around some ideas like I’ll do more lore videos about deities and maybe something about the class as a whole. And there’s a few alignments left.
Then the new book should be out around there and I’ll probably go into the new changes
I mean it’s what 5 subclasses? 2 wizards 1 Druid and the overpowered fighter?
@@TheSinisterheroes hey speaking of subclasses there's a sorcerer subclass feature that I've always had a problem with it's the expanded spell list that almost everyone has been saying should be on every subclass and while I'm not against the additional prepared spells what bothers me is the ability to swap those spells and pull spells from the wizard spell list and I was just curious if my reasoning for not liking this feature because it steps on the wizards toes too much is valid or not. Am I just being retarded here or is the dislike reasonable? I really need a second opinion here
