Give Rangers Beastlord Pets

[Aadill]

I think it would be neat to have a wolf familiar much like wizards got imp/dragon familiars in Luclin, but instead of extra mana, resists, and mana regen, it offered bonus melee stats.

A hunting dog, if you will. It wouldn't overbalance the aspect of the game and it would provide what I feel is a little more reasonable expectation of a ranger "being one with nature." Rangers already get positive factions with many times of animals, so why not give them a friend for life?

In Velious, Rangers get way more options in terms of straight AC, but no real extra ability to evade. Maybe the familiar offers a few points of AC, str, agi, dex as a way to continue with this line of thinking. Alternatively, you offer a little extra tank ability by upping the evade stats.

Someone to curl up to on the dark lonely nights. Something to slake this thirst for another living being. Lord, how long must I be alone, a ranger.
