Player's Handbook 2024
A Beast Master forms a mystical bond with a special animal, drawing on primal magic and a deep connection to the natural world.
Level 3: Primal Companion
You magically summon a primal beast, which draws strength from your bond with nature. Choose its stat block: Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky. You also determine the kind of animal it is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever beast you choose, it bears primal markings indicating its supernatural origin.
The beast is Friendly to you and your allies and obeys your commands. It vanishes if you die.
The Beast in Combat
In combat, the beast acts during your turn. 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 to command it to take an action in its stat block 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 Beast's Strike action. If you have the Incapacitated condition, the beast acts on its own and isn't limited to the Dodge action.
Restoring or Replacing the Beast
If the beast has died within the last hour, you can take a Magic action to touch it and expend a spell slot. The beast returns to life after 1 minute with all its Hit Points restored.
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can summon a different primal beast, which appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. You choose its stat block and appearance. If you already have a beast from this feature, the old one vanishes when the new one appears.
Level 7: Exceptional Training
When you take a Bonus Action to command your Primal Companion beast to take an action, you can also command it to take the Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action using its Bonus Action.
In addition, whenever it hits with an attack roll and deals damage, it can deal your choice of Force damage or its normal damage type.
Level 11: Bestial Fury
When you command your Primal Companion beast to take the Beast's Strike action, the beast can use it twice.
In addition, the first time each turn it hits a creature under the effect of your Hunter's Mark spell, the beast deals extra Force damage equal to the bonus damage of that spell.
Level 15: Share Spells
When you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your Primal Companion beast with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you.

Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun
Winter Walkers hone their craft in the bleak and frozen wilds of places like Asmiya. These ruthless, rimed Rangers hunt monsters that haunt arctic wastelands, eventually becoming frigid terrors themselves. Winter Walkers are well versed in the phenomena of Anaya, including the latent magic of fallen ancient cities, endemic monsters like yetis and crag cats, and the rising threat of Underdark invaders. Due to their cold pragmatism, terrifying magic, and mastery of the region, Winter Walkers are regarded with equal parts respect and fear. Anaya's citizens say that Winter Walkers' frequent exposure to malignant entities gives them their fearsome powers. Many Asmiya acolytes, on the other hand, believe that nature spirits bestow on Winter Walkers a unique curse.
