Like Tarzan or Grizzly Adams, the BeastMaster is the lord of his particular jungle, being both the guardian and master steward of the animal kingdom. Unlike the other druids then, the beastmaster takes great pride in his animal changing abilities, and receives many more animal forms as he progresses in level. The beastmaster is also more accutely aware of the dangers of the wild, and is thus a much more physical and able fighter than other druids tend to be.
How to play: The Beastmaster is the perfect loner druid class, though he is never truly alone with all the animals he can summon to his side. He also has numerous ways of enhancing his own innate fighting ability through magical chants, making him formidable even when adventuring without animal companions. |
