I’m planning to play a multiclass ranger/sorcerer/arcane archer in an upcoming campaign. I’d like to solicit feedback regarding a feat before I propose it to my gaming group. Is there a way to make it more elegant? Does the feat dovetail gracefully with existing rules? Is it too specific or restrictive? I welcome any suggestions regarding the text, as well as opinions as to whether it is under- or overpowered.
I don't think there is an existing feat in the PRPG, and I have not found a similar house rule or other suggestion. If anyone knows of a similar thread, please let me know.
Thanks!

Your ranger levels stack with all other class levels for the purpose of determining your animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats.
Prerequisite: Hunter’s bond class ability, ranger level 4th.
Benefit: Your effective druid level is equal to your class level –3 when determining your animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats.
Normal: Without this feat, a ranger’s animal companion functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the Nature Bond class feature), except that the ranger’s effective druid level is equal to his ranger level –3.
