I noticed now that we are officially launched, I have a Ranger with Beast Master so I went ahead and purchased the Players Handbook to be able to get that as an archtype. I was hoping that I would get a choice of beasts and that it would auto level them / provide their stats for me. Do I have to also buy the monster manual for this to work, or is this something that isn't in yet? If it's not in, will it ever be?
Not at at launch, but soon after. Our priorities for this week (starting Wednesday) are the Backgrounds revamp, familiars/companions/wild shape, and then some of the layout changes we have mentioned for the builder and sheet. Those won't all be done this week, but that will be the order we tackle them.
I have found the search rather good, however it only really works if you use the right words, in this cast the reason you were unable to find it was, the feature you are descrbing has been normally referred to as familiars/companions/wild shape so unfortunately in D&D similar things can have multiple ways of being written and in this way the search can be let down.
But hopefully this feature is coming soon as I really want it for my Moon Druid!

It's not in yet. It is, if I recall correctly, the second or third major thing they're going to be updating. So... very soon.

I wish the search was better in the forums, I tried searching on Ranger, and Beast Master.. and the stuff that turned up wasn't relevant.
Thanks so much for the reply both of you!

Damn! Looks like they have pushed companion and wild shape back, but the other stuff I really want too so as long as it still comes soon! :)
