• (a) a simple vibroweapon or (b) a simple blaster and two power cells
• (a) an explorer’s pack or (b) a technologist's pack
• A combat suit and a wristpad

Variant: starting wealth

In lieu of the equipment granted by your class and background, you can elect to purchase your starting gear. If you do so, you receive no equipment from your class and background, and instead roll for your starting wealth using the criteria below:

Class	Funds
Beast Master	6d4 x 100 cr

Tech powers known

You learn 6 tech powers of your choice, and you learn more at higher levels, as shown in the Tech Powers Known column of the beast master table. You may not learn a tech power of a level higher than your Max Power Level.

Tech points

You have a number of tech points equal to your beast master level x 1.5, as shown in the Tech Points column of the beast master table, + your Intelligence modifier. You use these tech points to cast tech powers. You regain all expended tech points when you finish a short or long rest.

Max Power Level

Many tech powers can be overcharged, consuming more tech points to create a greater effect. You can overcharge these powers to a maximum level, which increases at higher levels, as shown in the Max Power Level column of the Beast Master table. You may only cast tech powers at 5th, 6th, and 7th-level once. You regain the ability to do so after a long rest.

Techcasting ability

Intelligence is your techcasting ability for your tech powers. You use your Intelligence whenever a power refers to your techcasting ability. Additionally, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a tech power you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Tech save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier

Tech attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier

Techcasting Focus

You use a wristpad (found in chapter 5) or your tool proficiencies granted by this class as a tech focus for your tech powers.

Gene Therapy

Also at 2nd level, your experience in geneticism allows you to harness the energy throughout a creatures body. You learn two effects: Shared Hide and Neuron Accelerant. Each effect costs 1 tech point and uses a d4, which changes as you gain beast master levels, as shown in the gene die column of the beast master table. You can only use each effect once per round.

Shared Hide

When an ally you can see takes damage, you may use your reaction to roll a Gene dice. The target gains temporary hitpoints equal to the roll on the dice. These temporary hitpoints stack with any temporary hitpoints they may already have.

Neuron Accelerant

When an ally you can see fails a saving throw, you may roll a gene die and add it to the result as a reaction, potentially turning a failure into a success.

Beast Master Genus

Starting at 3rd level, you begin to focus on a specific beast master genus, which is detailed at the end of the class description. Your genus grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, and 14th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see Chapter 6 for a list of feats).

Master's Command

At 5th level, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make two Attacks as part of the Attack action. When you take the attack action, you may instead give up one or both attacks to command your beast to attack that many times instead.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus as seen on the Beast Master table. You gain these uses back on a long rest.

School of the Adaptation

When you adopt this school of thought, you modify your Shared Hide ability. When you grant temporary hit points through Shared Hide, you may spend two additional tech points to grant resistance to the triggering damage type. This resistance does not include the triggering damage. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

At 14th level, this resistance extends to the triggering damage as well.

School of the Fighter

Conflict is natural in the animal kingdom and you embrace it. When you adopt this School of thought, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the fighting style options, detailed in Chapter 6.

When you reach 14th level, you learn the fighting mastery that corresponds with the fighting style you chose with this feature. If you already know that fighting mastery, you instead learn another fighting style of your choice.

School of the Versatile

When you adopt this school of thought, you gain proficiency in one tool and one language of your choice. In addition, you may substitute your Wisdom in place of your Intelligence for techcasting and your beast master features.

At 14th level, If a creature you are giving the Help action to succeeds in their check because of your advantage, they gain temporary hit points equal to half of your beast master level. These temporary hitpoints stack with any temporary hitpoints they may already have. A creature who gains temporary hitpoints in this way cannot do so again in this manner until the creature takes a short rest.

School of the Warlord

When you adopt this school of thought, through your connection with nature, you've attuned to those around you. When you or an ally you can see rolls initiative, as a reaction, you may choose to add your Wisdom modifier to the roll.

At 14th level this school improves, when a hostile creature you see rolls initiative you may instead have them make a Wisdom saving throw contested against your tech save DC. On a failure you may subtract your Wisdom modifier from their initiative roll.

School of the Whisperer

When you adopt this school of thought, you may cast Beast Trick as a Tech Power. This ability still consumes tech points appropriate for the power level. In addition, you may substitute your Charisma in place of your Intelligence for techcasting and your beast master features.

At 14th level, you may cast Dominate Beast as a Tech Power. This ability still consumes tech points appropriate for the power level.

Nexu Accelerant

If your beast is hidden you may use a bonus action to roll a gene die to increase your beast's speed by 5 x the amount rolled until the end of your turn.

During this movement, they may move into the open without revealing themselves if they end their move in a position where their not clearly visible.

Special Trait

When you choose this Genus at 3rd level your companion gains the size medium beast trait and ignores its prerequisites. This trait does not contribute to your maximum traits picked.

Bonus Proficiency

Also when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in medium armor, heavy armor and martial vibroweapons.

Gene Therapy

Additionally when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain an additional gene therapy option.

Jousting

Finally at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack while mounted on your beast, you may choose to force the creature to make two saving throws against your tech save DC if the target is mounted, first Strength and then Dexterity. On a failure, a mounted opponent that you can see is thrown from their mount and falls within 5ft of their mount. On a second failure, the target lands prone.

If this attack targets an unmounted foe, they instead make one Strength saving throw against your Tech save DC. On a failure, they are moved 5ft back and knocked prone. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your techcasting modifier. You regain all expended uses on a short rest.

Master's Flurry

At 7th level, when your beast would take the attack action on your turn, your beast may choose to forgo one or more of their attacks to allow you to attack a number of times equal to the amount of attacks your beast forwent. These attacks are made without the aid of your proficiency bonus.

Battlefield Challenge

At 10th level, as an action, you call forth creatures in range to duel you. You can target a number of creatures equal to your techcasting modifier within 30ft. These creatures that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, these creatures are drawn to answer your call for carnage. For the duration, they have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you and your companion while mounted, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this power does not restrict the targets movement for that turn.

This ability ends if you attack any other creatures, if you cast a power that targets a hostile creature other than the targets, if a creature friendly to you, excluding your companion while mounted, damages the target or casts a harmful power on it, if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target or a minute has passed. You regain the ability to do so after a long rest.

Impale

At 14th level, your mount charges forward at foes unlucky enough to be in its way. As an action, your mount can charge up to double their speed in a straight line without provoking opportunity attacks. Each creature within 5 feet of your path must make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, the target chooses the ability they use). On a failed save, each creature takes damage equal to your Strength modifier + a roll of your Gene Die.

Once you’ve used this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Strength Alone

When you choose this Genus at 3rd level, you forgo your companion to gain the following feature. Toughness, your hitpoint maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Bonus Proficiency

Also when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in medium armor and simple lightweapons.

Gene Therapy

Additionally when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain an additional gene therapy option.

Genetic Forcecasting

Finally at 3rd level, your connection with force-sensitive beasts has awakened latent force abilities within you. Choose two force powers of 1st level. The chosen powers count as tech powers for you, but are not included in the number in the Powers Known column of the beast master table.

At 8th level, you learn two additional force powers of 1st or 2nd level. At 13th level, you learn two force powers of 1st-3rd level, and at 17th level, you learn two force powers of 1st-4th level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the force powers you know and replace it with another force power of the same level.

Master's Attack

At 7th level, your Master's Command is replaced. When you make the attack action you may make two attacks on your turn rather than one. You are no longer limited on the amount of uses for this ability.

Ysalamiri Bubble

At 10th level, you may cast force immunity at its base level without expending force points. You have two uses of this feature. You replenish these uses on a long rest. Upon reaching 14th level you gain an additional use of this ability.

Midi-Chlorian Mastery

At 14th level, the Midi-Chlorians flowing through your body empower your connection to the force and the many implements derived from it. Using your bonus action, you may spend 3 tech points to temporarily adopt any Lightsaber form of your choice, detailed in Chapter 6.

Call of the Force

At 20th level, if you don't have a companion, you learn one 7th level force power and may cast it once per long rest.

Overseer Genus

Through flight, many feats become possible that otherwise weren't.

Special Trait

Gene Therapy

Also when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain an additional gene therapy option.

Rancor Accelerant

When your beast would deal damage from a grenade, you may double the damage to all structures and constructs in the affected area.

Bomber Bandolier

Additionally at 3rd level, your beast gains a unique bandolier. This bandolier can only be worn by your beast. If your bandolier is destroyed or lost, over the course of an hour you may craft a replacement bandolier by expending 200cr worth of material. This can be done over a short or long rest. This bandolier is designed to hold, arm, and drop grenades while in flight. As an action, your beast may prime and drop one grenade directly below them.

Air Superiority

At 7th level, your creature can take the Help action as a bonus action. Additionally, height is no longer factored into the range required for the Help action. However, your beast must still be within one tile of the target.

Bogey Buster

At 10th level, upon a hostile creature missing an attack of opportunity against your beast, you may use your reaction to select you or an ally within 15ft to make one weapon attack against the triggering hostile. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your techcasting modifier. You regain all expended uses on a long rest.

Bombing run

At 14th level, as an action, your beast may move in a 30ft straight line, arming and dropping three grenades at 3 10ft intervals. You may use this ability once, regaining the use after a long rest.

Special Trait

When you choose this Genus at 3rd level, your companion gains the burrower beast trait. This trait does not contribute to your maximum traits picked.

Gene Therapy

Also when you choose this genus at 3rd level, you gain an additional gene therapy option.

Dynamic Entry

Additionally at 3rd level, after resurfacing from a burrow, all creatures within 5 ft must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + companion's Strength or Dexterity, your choice). On a failed save, the target takes damage equal to a roll of your Gene die. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your techcasting modifier. You regain all expended uses on a long rest.

Ground Superiority

At 7th level, your creature can take the Guard action as a bonus action. Additionally, depth is no longer factored into the range required for the Guard action. However, your beast must still be within 5 ft of the target.

Vitality Dart

At 10th level, while you are within 15 ft of your beast, as a bonus action you shoot them with an enhanced compound. While under the effects of this compound, any kinetic or energy damage your beast takes is reduced by an amount equal to your techcasting modifier. This effect lasts for one minute.

Once you’ve used this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Lylek Entrapment

At 14th level, as an action, if your beast is burrowed and within 5 ft of an enemy, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + companion's Strength or Dexterity, your choice) or be paralyzed, as they are pulled into the ground by your companion softening the soil beneath them.
