## Class Options

Within these pages, you'll find additional options for druids and rangers. Druids can make use of any beast within this book when using Wild Shape, within the usual restrictions of Wild Shape. Rangers will find a number of CR 1/4 beasts for use with the Ranger's Companion feature. Any spellcaster could also conjure beasts of the appropriate CR, or use the beasts as options of *polymorph* and similar spells.

### Druid

While most druids can benefit from the new beasts, the Circle of the Moon druid can choose the following option:

#### Primal Forms

###### *2nd-level Circle of the Moon feature, which replaces the Circle Forms feature.*

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous forms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape feature to transform into a beast using the Standard Beast stat block. When you reach 4th level, you can also choose to use the stat block for the Aquatic Beast, and at 8th level you can also choose to use the stat block for the Aerial Beast.

As you advance in level, you can take on larger forms (as defined on the Form Statistics and Maximum Size table), which affect the form’s statistics as indicated on the Size Statistics table. You can assume a smaller sized form if you choose. When your size affects your damage dice, it only affects attacks which deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, including the damage from the Charge trait.

In your primal form, you have 3 Hit Dice, which increases as you advance in this class as shown on the Form Statistics and Maximum Size table.

When you select the Standard Beast statistics, you must select a movement option from the Standard Beast Movement table. You can’t select an option with a swimming speed unless you are at least 4th level in this class. Your movement option will also determine whether or not you get blindsight or darkvision. Aquatic Beast and Aerial Beast statistics have a predefined movement speed.

Your primal form’s attack bonus from proficiency (AB) is +2. When you reach 15th level, the attack bonus increases to +3. You gain a bonus to damage in your primal form (DB) equal to one third your levels in this class when you hit with an attack granted by your primal form. The Form Statistics and Maximum Size table displays these values.

> ##### Flavoring Templates
>
> You can change the descriptive label for a template, such as reskinning the **Tail** action as a bite or tackle.
>
> You should be able to represent nearly any beast you imagine using the template mechanics and flavored for the particulars of your vision.

\columnbreak

##### Form Statistics and Maximum Size
| Level | Standard | Aquatic | Aerial | Hit Dice | Attack Bonus | Damage Bonus
|:--:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| 2nd | Medium | — | — | 3 | +2 | +0 |
| 3rd | Medium | — | — | 3 | +2 | +1 |

| 6th | Large | Large | — | 5 | +2 | +2 |

| 12th | Huge | Huge | Medium | 9 | +2 | +4 |
| 15th | Huge | Gargantuan | Large | 11 | +3 | +5 |
| 18th | Huge | Gargantuan | Large | 13 | +3 | +6 |

##### Size Statistics
| Size | Speed* | Damage |
|:--:|:---:|:---|
| Tiny | −10 ft. | half weapon damage die |
| Small | −5 ft. | normal weapon damage |
| Medium | — | normal weapon damage |
| Large | — | one extra die of damage |
| Huge | +5 ft. | one extra die of damage, + 2 damage |
| Gargantuan | +10 ft. | one extra die of damage, + 5 damage |

Speed can never be reduced to less than 10 ft.

##### Standard Beast Movement
| Option | Speed | Vision |
|:--|:---|:---|
| Running | 40 ft. | — |
| Climbing | 30 ft, climb 30 ft. | darkvision 60 ft. |
| Burrowing | 30 ft. burrow 20 ft. | blindsight 30 ft. |
| Amphibious | 30 ft., swim 30 ft. | darkvision 60 ft. |
| Waterborne | 10 ft., swim 60 ft. | blindsight 30 ft. |

The **standard template** can be used for most beasts, including: bears, boars, crabs, elephants, elk, great cats, horses, rhinoceroses, snakes, spiders, and wolves.

The **aquatic template** can be used for most underwater beasts, including: dolphins, fish, manta rays, sharks, and whales.

The **aerial template** can be used for all manner of birds and bats.

### Ranger
Rangers with Beast Master archetype can select the following option.

#### Ranger’s Enhanced Companion
###### *3rd-level Beast Master feature, which requires the Ranger’s Companion feature*
Your companion has greater resolve. Add your proficiency bonus to your companion’s Strength and Wisdom saving throws if it doesn’t have saving throw proficiencies. It has a hit point maximum equal to the number listed in its stat block or the value from the Beast Master Companion Hit Points table. It gains a number of HD equal to your ranger level that can be spent to heal itself during a short rest. The size of its HD is indicated on the Beast Master Companion Hit Points table.

You can select any beast of Medium sized or smaller, or one which can serve as a mount that is one size larger than a normal member of your race, provided it doesn’t have a flying speed. Regardless, the beast must have a CR of 1/4 or less.

You can command your beast by taking a bonus action. If you mount your companion beast, you can only command it to take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge actions. If the companion acts as an uncontrolled mount, it can move, but will only take the Dodge action.

Your companion gains the benefits on ability checks from your Favored Terrain feature and against your foes from your Favored Enemy feature. It also benefits from your Foe Slayer or Enhanced Foe Slayer feature. If you take the Favored Foe feature, you can have your beast’s attacks benefit from the feature instead of your own.

\columnbreak

> ##### Scaling Beasts
> 
> The DM can provide support in changing the statistics of a beast so that is has a CR of 1/4 and can be selected as a companion beast. Often this requires reducing the damage die, Strength or Constitution scores, or removing multiattack. This option enables the ranger to have a beast companion beyond the normal range presented in the *Player's Handbook* and this supplement.

\pagebreakNum

## Downtime Activity
The following downtime activity is available.

#### Taming Wild Beasts
With dedicated time and resources, most beasts can be broken and trained. A beast must be kept in captivity during the training.

***Resources.*** The amount of time and resources for taming a beast is dependent on how large the beast is and its challenge rating.

The beast must be kept well fed, requiring feed cost for every day it is captive, and double the normal amount during the training time. Herbivores require 5 cp of feed each day (10 cp each day during training), while carnivores require 2 sp of feed each day (4 sp each day during training). If the creature is Tiny, the feed costs can be reduced to half, while a Large beast requires three times the cost, and a Huge beast requires ten times the cost. A Gargantuan beast can’t be tamed under normal circumstances as it is too large to properly handle.

You will also have to pay the price for holding and keeping the beast. This requires an additional 3 gp each week the beast is held for maintenance, supervision, and land use fees.

The time required to tame a beast of up to 1/2 CR is 5 workweeks. A CR 1 or higher beast requires 5 + 5 times its CR workweeks. If the creature is feral to the point it doesn’t interact with humanoids, double the required time, while if the creature is domesticated or is still a child, halve the required time (rounded up). If the creature is hostile, double the adjusted time.

***Resolution.*** At the end of each consecutive workweek, make a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check. If you don’t have proficiency with Animal Handling, you make this check with disadvantage. The DC for this check is equal to 10 + the CR of the beast. If the beast is hostile, increase the DC by 5. If the beast is domesticated, you make this check with advantage. If the beast isn’t well fed, the check automatically fails. If the check succeeds, you can advance taming one week, or change the beast’s attitude to neutral.

Once you have completed the taming progress, the beast’s attitude toward you is friendly and it won’t run away from you. At this point, the beast can used for basic functions it is suited for such as having a dog guard a location, a horse be ridden, or an ox pull a cart. If faced with danger, the beast will flee. You can repeat the training process to teach a beast to be bold enough to enter combat, but when it is injured, you will have to succeed on a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check to prevent it from fleeing.

***Complications.*** During the training, it is common for the beast to lapse to its feral habits. Every 2 workweeks spent taming has a 10 percent of causing a complication.

\columnbreak

##### Taming Complications
| d6 | Complication |
|:--:|:---|
| 1 | An interested buyer seeks to possess your beast.* |
| 2 | The beast has suffered an injury or infection and needs time to recover. An infection could spread to other beasts, causing burden to other owners who may demand compensation. |
| 3 | The beast has reverted to its feral roots and caused an incident that could have resulted in damage to a creature or property or even the death of another creature. |
| 4 | The beast escapes its confines and has to be tracked and recaptured. |
| 5 | Someone claims your beast has cause an incident and demands its removal.* |
| 6 | A fellow tamer approaches you of the possibility of expanding stock, either through capturing more beasts or breeding tamed ones.* |
*Might involve a rival.

> ##### Taming Nonbeasts
>
>The DM may allow other creatures to be tamed. In these cases, the time it takes to train and tame the creature is longer (multiply the training time by up to 10) depending on how long it takes the beast to mature. Feed costs for the creature are likely to be higher, especially if the creature requires a more exotic or specialized diet. It is also much harder to break and tame nonbeasts; increase the DC of Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks by 10.
>
>Monstrosities and other creatures are also more prone to attacking humanoids and domesticated beasts, leading to more severe results when the creature is lose or causes an incident. A creature with high Intelligence and Charisma can actively stymie attempts to tame it, increasing the DC of Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks by the higher of the creature’s Intelligence or Charisma bonus. If the creature has an alignment proclivity*, it may also prove harder to tame, as it is unlikely to change alignments which can cause it to oppose commands and ignore training.
>
>Nonbeast creatures can also require additional restraints to keep in captivity. Other humanoids are likely to also be very uncomfortable around a creature generally regarded as a monster, so complications can more easily arise where a population is hostile to the creature’s presence. The chance of a complication is 20 percent.
>
></br>
>
>*If following looser alignment mechanics, it is reasonable for a creature to change alignments or simply not have an alignment at all.
