Humanity's real enemy is me!
Hya hya foowah!
I'm having my first 5e session in the near future, and my boyfriend wants to port over a character he really enjoyed from Pathfinder. The character is a Tiefling Ranger who dual-wields and has an otherworldly animal companion (just a devilish reskin of a normal animal). The thing is, Tieflings in 5e lose out on their dexterity bonus, and their intelligence boost isn't as useful as it used to be, where it provided additional skill points. I know he's going to care more about the character's personality than about maximizing his character's power, but I want to make sure he doesn't set himself up for a bad time by having a really underpowered character.

Does anyone have any tips for setting up a Tiefling ranger? I feel like Hunter would probably be the safer archetype, but I know he is going to want to have his pet. Is there anything we should keep in mind when he's designing his dual-wielding Tiefling Beastmaster?
