Everyone knows you can't be a Beastmaster without a couple ferrets... This man has zero ferrets, so he can't be a Beastmaster.

He's got tons of ferrets, you just can't see them right now. When he reaches the far shore and engages the enemies, the ferrets will all jump out, getting a surprise round.

Ferrets aren't for fighting, ferrets are for quicksand defense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUKTS11zo48

He's mastered his beast.

I was playing a little game of "what can I get away with in Torchlight?" And discovered I could have a necromancer ferret companion. Little bastard could cast Raise Army of Undead and just have 6 skeletons at his beck and call.

The Fighting Fantasy books are wild, I love them.

You can get them on Steam. It's pretty cool and much more streamlined than just having the book and dice.

They also recently did a reprint of the first ~5 or so books in paperback. One of the neat things they did with the reprints is they've included dice rolls at the bottom of every page, so instead of needing to use dice, you can flip to a random page instead and use that as your roll.
