Maybe im in minority here, but i would really appreacite if our old forms / pets would only get better stats, so our Ranger could go trough whole game with one faithful animal.
I'm forgetting exactly what I heard where, but wasn't there something about ranger pets getting larger, and getting armour or something like that in one of the things that has been shared? I read that as them being the same pets but growing and getting barding, kind of like in the Pathfinder games. But perhaps that was just wishful thinking, as I also like the idea of rangers with one faithful animal, even if they can sometimes ask others to help out.
Halsin should allways turn into bear in my headcannon ... or at least most often ... if his Bear form will be one-shotet in end game, it will feel odd.
I'm wondering if Halsin's shapechanging will be a standard moon druid one or if it might be homebrewed in some way, especially as we also have Jaheira as a (presumably) normal druid. And if people are right that he might be a werebear or otherwise have some non-standard relationship with his animal form. Perhaps he will be locked to an increasingly powerful bear form? Probably unlikely, I know.
