Martial Ranger

Expertise Conclave

The Expertise Conclave are rangers who walk with the shadows, silent and deadly. They are trained to stalk their prey much like an ambush predator, patient and calculating. Seeking to silence threats before they can reach the broader world.

Inexorable

At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Predator's Quarry forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

Nature Conclave

The Nature Conclave is an oddity when compared to its fellow conclaves. Where others focus on a more direct approach, this conclave takes a more indirect approach, combining knowledge with creativity. They believe that the makeup of a plant and its uses are equivalent to the mating cycles of manticores and their regenerative properties.

Whisperer of Beast

Animal Companion

At 3rd level, you gain a beast companion that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you. The beast is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block: Terrestrial Beast, Aquatic Beast, or Aviary Beast -which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Your companion options are detailed at the end of the class description. You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block.

In combat, the beast takes its turn on your initiative. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block, Dash, Disengage, Help, or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If your beast is ever slain, you can obtain another one by spending 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, to make a bond with another beast that isn’t hostile to you, either the same type of beast as before or a different one. If you use this ability to return a former animal companion to life while you have a current animal companion, your current companion leaves you and is replaced by the restored companion.

Bestial Endurance

At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack's damage against it.
