Even the largest of beasts can be subdued and harnessed as siege weapons by a ranger of this enclave. A siege beast’s power lies in its sheer size and ability to smash down walls or destroy siege weapons. As a result, they are at the forefront of armies, trampling anything and anyone who crosses their path, often serving as mounts for their ranger companions. Once bonded to a ranger, the siege beast becomes a force of devastation, gaining some magical abilities from its companion. 

Beast Companion

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a beast companion that fights beside you. Choose a beast that is no larger than Large size and that has a challenge rating of 1 or lower. The beast obeys your commands and takes its turn on your initiative. On your turn, you can command the beast where to move or what actions to take, which require no actions on your part. If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast has free will and protects you and itself. If the beast dies, you can obtain another one by spending 8 hours to befriend another non-hostile beast.

Siege Beast Companion

Starting at 7th level, the maximum challenge rating of the beast that you can have as your companion increases to 2.

Your beast companion also gains the Siege Monster trait, allowing it to deal double damage to objects and structures.

Magical Siege Beast Companion

Starting at 11th level, the maximum challenge rating of the beast that you can have as your companion increases to 3 and can be of Huge size.

Your beast companion’s natural attacks count as magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistance.

Greater Magical Siege Beast Companion

Starting at 15th level, the maximum challenge rating of the beast that you can have as your companion increases to 4.

When you are mounted on your beast companion or within 5 feet of it, any creature that attacks you provokes an opportunity attack from your beast companion.
