Base Class: Ranger
In the deep forest, the Torath are a tribe of elves renowned for their tact and tenacity. Well known for their relationships with the local wildlife, many forest folk travel to learn of the Torath's ways. Torath Beast Hunters utilize their companions in both combat and daily life. Forming incredible relationships, the Torath have been known to develop almost telepathic bonds with their companions. Body language and minor gestures are all an established Torath Beast Master needs to communicate with their companion.
Beginning Bond
At 3rd level you can tame a beast with a CR of 1/4. The beast becomes a companion and adopts the following stats:
- Add your proficiency bonus to the companion's AC, Attack Rolls and Damage Rolls.
- Add your proficiency bonus to any skill checks/saving throws that the companion is proficient in.
- The Companion's HP is equal to 4x the Ranger's level.
You can use your bonus action to command the companion to Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge or Help.
The companion can move at the same time as the player but with their respective movement speeds.
The companion never needs the player's command to use it's reaction such as when using an attack of opportunity.
When the player lands a critical hit on an enemy target then commands their companion to attack that same target, the companion's attack will automatically hit.
Mounted Combat
Beginning at 7th level, you can now use your companion as a mount in and out of combat.
While mounted you can:
- Use your companion's movement speed.
- Have an attack range of 10ft for melee attacks.
- Have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws.
In addition, the beast's attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Advanced Bond
Starting at 11th level, when you move within 10ft alongside your companion, you can match your companion's movement speed.
Mounting/Dismounting now only costs a bonus action.
While mounted, you no longer have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws.
Ultimate Bond
Beginning at 15th level, you have mastered the bond with your companion.
You no longer need to use a Bonus Action to command your companion.
Half of any healing dealt to you carries over to your companion if they are within 30ft of you.
