Animal Companion feats


Advice


Isn't there a feat chain to give a char an animal companion? Like iron will - familiar bond for getting a familiar.

What other feats can the master take to make the animal companion better, smarter, more skilled, etc... ?

No, there aren't feats that grant u a companion.
You need to have at least 1 LvL in a Class which grants you one.
Boon Companion gives +4 to the Companion level if you have at least 4 Levels in another Class.
Horse Master (needs Cavalier) sets your overall level set as the Companion level (has other prequisits too)


Actually, there is. Nature Soul -> Animal Ally.

Yeah, it's at character level-3, and from a shortened specific list (badger, bird, camel, cat (small), dire rat, dog, horse, pony, snake (viper), or wolf), but it's an animal companion. And Boon Companion will make it equal to your level, so.

Actually, there are. It is a feat-line which can be found in Pathfinder Player Companion: Faiths & Philosophies.

Nature Soul
Animal Ally

This combination allows one to get a Animal Companion at your character level -3. Your choice is limited though, not the full druid list. And it would require you to also take Boon Companion from Animal Archive/Seeker of Secrets if you want it to be combat viable on its own (without being a mount).

Edit: I should type faster...

The Exchange

Yes, there is!

In Faiths & Philosophies is the Animal Ally feat who gives you a ranger animal companion.

Prereq is CL 4 and the Nature Soul feat who gives you +2 on Survival and Knowledge Nature (+4 10the level ).

Other option is VMC Druid.

Edit: ninjaed..i'm to slow! ^^


For other feats, look up Spirit's Gift and Evelved Companion. Both are pretty handy. But if you're sinking upwards of three feats into an animal companion, it's probably time to start looking at the many class options to get them. The feat route is a pretty bad deal by comparison.

Silver Crusade

Well, its great that its possible but I find this a bad trade off.
You have to invest 3 Feats into making it Working and there are so many AniCom classes that give other great benefits (Hunter exspecially) that I think its wasted.

Dark Archive

If you take a class that has the Animal Companion class feature, then there is also a feat called Totem Beast. It is a free Hunter's Animal Focus that increases in power as your Animal Companion levels.
