Cavalier Beastmaster


Advice


I'm playing a fighter with the cavalier archetype. I'm currently Goblin fighter level 8. And I took the main exploits of the cavalier. Including improving your mount. I had an idea to take the archetype of a beastmaster as well.. To get a second pet. I would like to know if this is possible, how effective it will be, maybe someone will have some advice that will help to realize this idea. Or how best to develop an existing archetype. Since this is my first time playing the second edition.

Maybe that's how it'll work. I haven't used such codes for a hundred years.

You can have a familiar or pet, but not both. Because animal companions function much differently, you can have both an animal companion and a familiar or pet.

The cavalier's mount is a companion, same as the beast master's companion (as it's noted in the dedications). Yet the beastmaster's dedication circumvent that rule:

Quote:
Contrary to the usual rules for animal companions, this feat can grant you a second animal companion. If you ever have more than one animal companion, you gain the Call Companion action.

But as we explore it further, you can only have one companion at a time. So unless both companions won't fulfill a specific niche, it's not as effective as you might think.

Yet Beastmaster's feat enhances all companions, so I'd look how to retrain the cavalier improvement feat when possible (probably to another cavalier one, as I don't think you had enough cavalier feats otherwise). Then you can prepare 2 companions for two sides of the campaign, one when you need a mount, another one when either a mount isn't useful or if you need something specific that comes up regularily in the campaign, depending on what you expect.

Only via Lead the Pack at 16th level, you can have two active companions at once.

img tag doesn't exist in the forum. Only url tag. This forum doesn't accept in-box images.
