So long story short I’m working on a pet subclass and want it to function in the character sheet in the same way as the Tasha’s Beast Master‘s Primal Companion. Whenever I want to replicate or emulate an existing feature I make a copy of the subclass that has that feature and copy/paste the “code”(I know it’s not actually code but I can’t think of any other way to phrase it) into the new subclass I’m working on so it all functions the way it’s supposed to in the character sheet. However, when I tried to do this with Beast Master, I realized that making a copy of the subclass only gives you access to the original PHB Beast Master, not the optional Tasha’s version.
My question is, is that “code” accessible anywhere, or could anyone explain how I can replicate it myself?
I don't think it is available since it is an optional class feature, rather than a separate subclass for us to access.
Your could just copy the Beast Master, as it still forms the base for the subclass, and then change the main feature to match Tasha's. The other option is the new Drakewarden subclass from Fizban's. The drake companion seems to function in a similar manner and might give you some insight into the setup.
Thanks for the tip! I haven’t purchased Fizban’s yet, but I plan to eventually. I totally hadn’t thought of that, but of course that would make sense be very similar to the primal companion.
