Beastlord
You and your beast companion are like twin aspects of one being, acting in perfect accord. Any separateness is an illusion of space and time—a seeming that might one day be erased.
Beastlord
Beastmaster Ranger Level 16
Background
Epic Destiny
This feature can be taken twice, with additional effects being granted on the second time it is taken.
First Level Features
Primal Coordination: Whenever an enemy targets you or your companion, you can choose for it to target either you or your beast companion, as long as you are within 20 squares of you and you can see it.
Second Level Features
Fused Life: As long as either you or your beast companion has at least 1 hit point, the other can’t be killed, regardless of negative hit points or failed death saving throws. Keep track of negative hit points and failed death saving throws as normal; if you both are reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, the negative hit points and failed death saving throws immediately take effect.
Immortality
When your final task is complete, you have proven that humanoid and beast are not separate. You and your companion act as a single being split into two bodies. Those who tell your story give an account of how the two of you illustrated this truth by becoming one. In fact, they whisper that what became apparent in the end was always so. You manifest a spirit that encompasses the values your beast companion symbolizes, and you merge with the beast exemplified by your nature. In so doing, you take the shape of a great spirit of nature, pristine and immortal. Your shape is thereafter as you wish it to be—person, beast, two at one time, or an amalgam thereof. Forever, you endure in the wild places of the world as a guardian and an inspiration. Perhaps you’ll be an exarch of Ehlonna, The Great Tree, or you’ll remain distinct from any deity, an example of a creature unique to the world. Those who follow your model hold you in mind when they travel and fight alongside their own beast companions. They, and others who revere nature and its creatures, look to you as an archetype and a guide.
