This is something that I made in between, while working on my update and waiting for artworks, so I thought I'd share it.
I wanted to give some love to the ranger after they received the mediocre Favored Foe in Tasha's, and decided to make a revision along with a subclass that works even better with that mechanic. For when you want to play a dragon slayer or a goblin slayer or a doom slayer or whatever you like to slay to your hearts content :)
In addition I've also added a revised Beast Master, as I felt that the whole spirit angle was a bit boring. Now you can bond with as many beasts as you'd like, provided their CR is below 1/2, and you can only have one out at a time. However, now they retain their special traits, meaning that there is an advantage in trying to get more beast companions for yourself (I also gave each one the pack tactics trait now, as they only have 4 times your ranger level instead of 5 times+4 like the spirits have, plus this way wolves won't be the default anymore). This also makes more sense, seeing as you are supposed to be a Beast Master.

It also helps that I was looking for a dragon slayer Archetype for the future update for my Children of the Dragon project, which you can find here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/33.....and-Subclasses If you are short on cash you can type in 0, and get it for free, or you could pay what you want if you feel like donating :)
If you want to keep updated about my future update for this project, as well as any other homebrew I might make, you are free to join my discord group. Here you can also post any ideas and/or suggestions you have, and here I will also be posting all my artworks as well: https://discord.gg/mBmKcp6E3s

Thanks man! That is a big compliment XD And I guess they are just doing it safe. Though honestly I wish that they had indeed come up with these ideas themselves, as I had made this after feedback from other players. It still has to be playtested, but so far people are quite positive about it.
Hopefully this will make the Ranger a viable choice again, instead of a weaker fighter that doesn't have second wind or action surge.

There's a lot of wrong and pretty stupid things in 5e.
For example: you're telling me that I can add +10 damage to a blowgun for a price of -5att with a certain feat, but can't do the same with a longsword if I hold it with both hands (versatile) with the ranged feat's equivalent for melee, because it lack's the heavy property? That's pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, it's basically power attack, so why not?
Crossbow expert negating ranged penalties for ALL ranged attacks in melee range, not just for crossbow.. So you gotta be a crossbow expert as a caster to cast spells with attack rolls in melee range without penalty.
I seriously hate some things about 5e.. over all I really like it, I have about 4k hours on roll20 playing 5e alone, but God damn it, it makes me mad. I could go on and on, at some point I even wanted to write an email to WotC but I don't think they would care at all, especially after how they treated mystic... they just got lazy.

Heya! In case you are interested, I have already started my Kickstarter, featuring several of the artworks I’ve commissioned :) There are still only 8 days left to get a book, so if you are interested now is your chance! ;) Here is a link to it: https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....plement-for-5e
I’m flattered to hear that :) I had intended to work on my future update, but I also wanted to give some love to rangers, so that they would have their unique feel and role, instead of being a weaker fighter with slightly more flavor. This should give them the utility one would expect from a ranger, while (hopefully) keeping them balanced.
Glad to hear you like it :)

And also added a bestest girl/boy option at the end :)
Also happy 2021!
