Certain hunters seem to know exactly what to expect on every hunt, others bring along companions for safety. Accompanied Huntsmen can summon their own companions and use the bones of their previous quarries to prepare for the next hunt.

 

Hunter's Training

Every hunter needs to know how to track a quarry and remain unseen during the hunt. You gain proficiency in stealth and survival, if you already have proficiency in either of those you now use double your proficiency when making that check.

In addition, when your familiar makes a wisdom skill check, it may add your proficiency if you have proficiency in that skill.

 

 

 

Strength in the familiar

At level 3, you gain access to the Find Familiar spell and your familiar is a proper hunting companions. When you summon or change your familiar's form, you may change it into any beast with a CR equal to ¼ of your Ranger level. Your familiar's hitpoints are equal to half of yours. Effects that negate spells, such as dispel magic or anti-magic field, no longer affect your familiar.

Once per day, as an action, you may change your familiar's form for 1 hour. This effect cannot be ended early.

Additionally, your familiar can take the Attack action on it's turns.

When casting Find Familiar, an Accompanied Huntsman may use materials that could be used in Resourceful Fletching instead of the material components with 1 lbs of material being worth 5 gp towards the material cost.

This fletching is considered light activity however you can only make a maximum of 40 per day.

These arrows have properties by on the creature type of the material used as listed below and wherever a saving throw is called for the DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your wisdom modifier

Two of these arrows can be removed using a bonus action either by the creature hit with them or a creature within 5ft. Once the arrow is used, removed or missed, it becomes a non-magical arrow.

Eternal Companion

At level 15, you have formed an usually strong bond with your familiar. Your familiar now has hitpoints equal to your hitpoints and have the same skill and save proficiencies you have.

When your familiar is killed, you can , as a reaction, cast Find Familiar to re-summon them. When summoned this way, your familiar appears within 5ft. of you and hostile creatures that can see your familiar must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you for 1 minute. A creature that failed its save may make a new one at the end of its turn ending the effect on a success. Once you use this feature you must complete a long or short rest before using it again.
