Like me
The wooden weapons are just the staff and the club. This means that even a cleric has acces to better equipment. If you see a ranger as someone very close to nature and it's animals and want to take the beastmaster kit, you'd be wise not to spend your points on the scimitars and longswords, but invest in the wooden weapons. Dual classing to or from a cleric won't help you either, as you'd still be stuck with the beast master's limitations. I'm sure it will prve to be a challenging game
Did you think about equipping your beastmaster with a club in each hand? I bet that would be a lot of fun too
