Problem History

In our current Adventure League campaign, Cody is playing a Ghostwise Halfling Ranger–I think post Dark Phoenix he was mostly going for the Telepathy, but when he learned about the Night Gliders he got excited to go Beast Master and get a Giant Owl as his companion.

The beast master companion has to be medium & giant owls are large, so we have a problem.

Research

Other players have identified this problem and have provided some general solutions–play a Pteranodon re-skinned as an owl is likely the most AL legal.

I am going to send some tweets to various people online and see if I can get an official AL exception.–here is Chris Lindsay‘s response:

And though the image is very cool, the “fluff” to which I was referring is from page 110 of the Sword Coast Adventure Guide.

Solution

Once we get the Companion figured out, we will start working on the mini–which looks like it is going to be a fairly big problem.
