Beast Companion
At 3rd level, you gain an animal companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight along you. It is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. Choose one of the game statistics bloc presented below to represent a companion that is either agile, robust, flying, or one that you can ride. Then, select one of the animal presented for each stat bloc. In combat, your companion shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take the action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide or Search action. Your companion has a number of Hit Dice equal to your level in this class, and can spend Hit Dice during a short rest to regain hit points. Like other creatures, it regains half its total Hit Dice on a long rest. If it has died within the last hour, you can use an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend one of your ranger’s spell slots. The beast companion returns to life after 1 minute with half its hit points restored.
When your animal companion is not wearing armor, its Armor Class is 10 + its Dexterity modifier + its Constitution modifer.
Your animal companion grows stronger as you gain levels in this class. The following numbers increase by 1 when your proficiency bonus increases by 1:
- The companion’s unarmored defense AC
- The companion’s skill and saving throw bonuses
- The companion’s bonuses to hit and damage
- The companion’s the DC to resist abilities requiring a saving throw
Tandem Fighting (Variant Exceptional Training)
Starting at 7th level, your companion can take the Help action on its turn instead of the Dodge action when you do not use your bonus action to command it otherwise. In addition, your companion’s attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Improved Animal Companion (new)
When you reach 11th level, your animal companion acquires new traits and special abilities, as presented in the animal special traits below.
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.
