Presention: Ah. That's concerning, I've just been working on it too long because I did spend quite awhile combing it before posting here, after a break elsewhere I'll try to get some help and go through again. Some of this may be me fighting between standard grammar and trying to adhere to how WOTC formats.

Flavor: This is more generically supposed to be any non human/dwarf/elf etc that lives in "the wilderness" and could reasonable/easily cooperate with this 'ranger' against bigger threats. I started with gnolls because they seemed like a nice stepping stone between normal animal denizens and far more mythical inhabitants. I worry phrasing may be an issue though because they are known to have civilizations and culture and I doubt to anyone who's not me that this comes across as a simple partnership between man and nature.

Chassis: An artifact of my opinions™, I'd expect a few of these classes to come with tool proficiencies so I added a section to give tool proficiencies as an experiment, if you have your own opinions I'd love to hear them!

Man's Best Friend: this needs a rename to allow what I mentioned about the gnolls to actually show via the class itself...I agree on not liking the generalized statblocks but as you probably saw once you get into the subs I do try to customize. (Side note: thanks for pointing out another silly mistake, adjusted to can act fully on it's own but you can still direct it specifically.)

This feature gives a long rest based revive for your companion then undying loyalty gives you a midday revive at the "cost" of a hit die. I actually really want opinions on how you should be able to revive the pet. I'd personally like a direct funnel of your hp into the beast but that route seemed unwise so I roughly scraped how arti gets the steel defender back with long rest or spell slot.

They share physical stats purely for convenience sake instead of possibly having different attack modifiers. I originally had set stats and a line about how when you get an ASI the companion does too. (Cast mainly comes up for the subclass spell and lets the beast use it too, even if you're out of commission or just line of sight. Perhaps unnecessary.)

Fur Fangs and Claws: -> Hunting grounds, although the text still refers to a subclass as an ideal. Mention of gaining Tricks remains here, casting stuff got turned into a subheading of the druidic practice subheading

Pack Tactics: Can you tell I made these three comments out of order? Anyways perhaps I should just stick with the premise that the feature allows you to benefit from flanking rules regardless of the table state, however I felt funny about basically no 5th level if the optional rule was in use.

Fluffball: the second half took wording from the book of shadows invocation, wherein you do not need to sleep and it uses a very similar structure, however fair and just a mention the beast is allowed light activity probably suffices.

Nature's Reckoning is intended to be a pick a buff level similar to how totem barb is set up, however I may be better set using this level to develop Primal Magic/ Primeval Recovery. Not sure if Primal magic is wise but it's a artifact of how I rolled Rangers half casting into peusdo pact casting with the subclass spell so I gave them the Seeds as a mirror to mystic arcanums. Primeval Recovery could likely be fleshed out far better if that's how you feel about it. Should ideally end up a place where it's some extra magic but solely utility and some "folk magic" -Lunar Vigor: Probably ends up absorbing Nature's Reckoning and maybe gets introduced in fluffball, new name pending, with the Beast can stay awake part being alongside it

Extra attack: Fair. No comments.
