I have a sorcerer with the sylvan bloodline and have taken boon companion so that it levels with me.
I am considering giving it the bodyguard archetype (Source: Pathfinder Player Companion: Animal Archive). My biggest concern is that it replaces shared spells, which has a lot of nice applications for a sorcerer.
I'd like some feedback on this. I have chosen a megaloceros for the animal companion and the sorcerer is a gnome. I intend to build the gnome as a debuffer.
