Beastmaster Lore
A beastmaster (aka beast master) is a warrior Hero who is able to call forth the creatures of the forest to serve him. These lone wandering forest dwellers come from all backgrounds and cultures, seeking the essence of combat through the mimicry of wild beasts. Beast masters are noble savages, wandering the woods and communing with nature. The beastmaster is more at home with wild animals than sapient beings, able to call upon the forces of nature to help him. Most beastmasters are mercenaries, but a few work solely for the Horde.

The beastmaster is a wilderness warrior who has developed an uncanny rapport with animals. Though truly fearsome in battle, the beastmaster can be quite gentle when dealing with creatures of the wild. A beastmaster typically travels with one or more animal companions such as hawks and bears who show incredible loyalty to their humanoid friend. Though a beastmaster prefers to spend his time in the wild with his animal companions, he is not averse to venturing into civilized lands when the need arises. As long as animals may be found where he travels, the beastmaster is at home.

A beastmaster can use body language, vocalizations, and demeanor to improve the attitude of an animal (such as a bear or a giant lizard). The beastmaster may comprehend and communicate with animals and magical beasts.

The beastmaster can grow claws and fangs or horns. In time they grow even longer and wicked then before.

A good portion of the Mok'Nathal in the Warcraft universe are beastmasters; because of their ancestry, they are seen as outcasts among orcish and ogre factions, and aside from other Mok'Nathal, are only accepted by a few sympathizers. They find comfort in the friendly beasts of the wild and the isolation from the hostility of civilization in the wilds.

According to Brann Bronzebeard, Rexxar is not only a beastmaster, he is an epic beastmaster.

Beastmaster as a Dual-Class
NOTE: This is in no way offical, this is an idea to be added with a later expassion.

At Level 100 Players will be given the option, through a series of quests, to be able to turn their character into a new Heroic Class. The is achieved by the player Dual-Classing from their original class with one of the 2 available options.

To become a Beastmaster the Player has to either be a Hunter or a Druid, then Dual-Class to with their respective counterpart.


 * Description

To becomes a Beastmaster the Druid/Hunter must undergo special training with their Companion(Pet) to form a new, stronger bond. This new bond allows the Beastmaster to tranform into the same form as his pet. This may only be done in the presence of their companion, but grants the Beastmaster a much wider array of forms to change into. Although this is a great new ability, it comes at a cost; unlike Druids, Beastmasters loose any ability to change at will into any beast other than the type of their companion's, when they are present. This transformation the Beastmaster takes on makes it impossible for their enemy to tell the difference between master and pet. Some Beastmasters have been known to have the ability to switch positions with their companion to avoid a fatal blow(this replaces the Feign Death ability). Although sacraficing their pet is revolting to the Beastmaster, they understand that they can always bring back their fallen parter, while if they fall in battle then his pet will soon join him anyway. Although the Beastmaster can transform into a creature that can fly, they require Flight Form training simlar to a druids.
