Beastmaster - A New Class For The Blackest of Deaths

I watched one of my favorite swords & sorcery flicks earlier this weekend decided to turn the protagonist into a class for The Blackest of Death.... which is coming to Kickstarter next month.

Beastmaster

Beastmasters are primal warriors touched by the gods. Each bears a brand or birthmark that grants them a connection to the beasts of the earth and the fowl of the air. Sometimes, confused with Barbarians and Rangers, they are versatile warriors, aided by furred and feathered companions.

Class Bonus

+1 to WIS

Class Restriction

Despite elven ties to nature, the gods only grant true power over beasts to Humans.

Weapon/Armor Restrictions

Beastmasters can use one-handed Swords, Staves, and a thrown weapon known as a Caber. Seeking to emulate the beasts they command, they eschew the use of armor and shields.

Master of Beasts

No animal will attack a Beastmaster unless the Beast Master attacks it or it is under magical control. He can also sooth and calm beasts. To use this ability, the Game Master set a target Difficulty Challenge and the Beastmaster rolls with advantage.

Animal Speech

The Beastmaster can communicate telepathically with animals, including magical varieties.

Beast Bond

The Beastmaster can be bonded two one animal or pair of smaller animals (such as rodents) equal their WIS. As long as they are not treated poorly, they will follow the Beastmasters commands without the need of a Difficult Challenge. The Beastmaster may sever this bond at anytime, but it takes a day of close proximity to create a new bond.

The Eye of the Tiger

Beastmasters can enter a trance and see through the eyes of an animal he is bonded with up to a 5 mile radius. They may speak during this trance, but can do nothing else.
