Your point is well taken. And I completely agree. Then perhaps I should suggest this. A new class dedicated to animal kinship is apparently completely out of the question as per your reasoning. Then how about this.
Rangers...the revamp seems to have gone well. I have always been a big fan of the class and I think the roleplay element can be great. Perhaps allow them greater ability to commune with animals. Perhaps give them the ability to control animals a bit more. Granted there is the "tame" skill. (if it still exists) and there was in the past Bearcall.
I would suggest that a limited form of bearcall be brought back. Perhaps they get the ability to have a animal companion. Something similar to a familiar.
I do see how you could argue that it would again be copying another class.
Then again, one could always roleplay well enough that perhaps some immortal would grant said character a power such as this.
Again...just thoughts. *The movie Beastmaster is the cause of all this...and my own love of animals and things.*
Kudos,
