DM's Tip for Jon: Your Bonus Action is very busy! On your first turn, you often have to choose: mark a target with Hunter's Mark, command your wolf, or make an extra attack with Crossbow Expert. Plan your first round ahead of time. Hunter's Mark is great for a single tough enemy, while commanding your wolf adds another body and more damage to the field.
