Bonded Ranger’s Companion

At 3rd level, you gain a beast companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you.

The beast obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative.
On your turn, you can:

• Verbally command the beast where to move (no action required by you).
• You can use your bonus action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Help action.
• Use the Command Bonded Beast spell to non-verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Help action. 
• If you don't issue a command, the beast takes the Dodge action.

Before taking an action roll a Defiance Die, if you roll a 1, use a 1d10 on the table below:

1D10 Result	Beast Action to take
1	Angry Chomps! Roll a regular Beast attack using 1d4+(Ranger Level) damage to the nearest friendly player or NPC.
2	Scatter! Dash toward your beast master and hide.
3	Bored! Find the nearest good smell, roll a constitution saving throw to continue sniffing next turn.
4-7	Zoomies! Use Dash, every 10 feet roll a d4 and go east on 1, north on 2, west on 3, south on 4. Take the closest direction if blocked by impassible terrain.
8	I am Speed! Use Dodge as a free action this turn.
9	Predator! Gain advantage on attack this turn
10	Feisty! Gain an extra attack this turn

 

If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself. The beast never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.

While traveling through your favored terrain with only the beast, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.

If the beast dies, you can revive them using the Soul Recall spell.

You may not bond another beast.

Exceptional Training

The beast's attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Bestial Fury

Starting at 11th level, when you command your beast companion to take the Attack action, the beast can make two attacks, or it can take the Multiattack action if it has that action.

Share Spells

Beginning at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you.
