Alright, sick, thanks bros.

so that would be, one at first level then another at second because 3hd then another at level 5 because 5hd and so on?

Hello everyone, i was just wondering, how many and how often does an animal companion get feats? I was in the process of planning a cavalier riding a lion with charge attacks and extra crazy, but then realized it doesn't actually say when does a mount (animal companion) get feats.

I only managed to gleam the info that it gets a feat depending on hit dice.

halp :I

I don't intend to let him have a custom class. I don't think so anyway.

I thought about what you said, and i think i'm gonna interview him. :p
i'll roleplay the alchemist that messed him up and ask him questions about who he is and what he does and build his character like that. i'll be like "there are six different numbers here. please choose one to represent each of these six attributes." or something like that. should be fun.

though i think i'd like him to not get a magical class at all. i think it will take some of the fun away from this character. but thats also up to him.

i think i got it now. any other ideas are appreciated. thank you all for helping. :)

okay, first of all, thank you all for your advice! you guys are great! :D

second, from all of your suggestions i have drawn up this idea of how to build his character:

i will first ask him to make a non class character without applying skill points or feats yet. it will simply be base attributes same as any other player.

then, i would apply the form changes by changing all his non mental attributes to those of a fox and giving him all the perks and disadvantages involved.

after this, i would tell him to make a class. the restrictions would be nothing that requires you to be lawful as his animal instinct prevents him from that, nothing with inherent magical capabilities such as sorcerer because i doubt it has a magical bloodline.

the idea is that after he was turned in to a fox he began adventuring for a while before meeting the group, gaining a class on the way.

any feats and skill points he gets in one from will be transferred to another. any racial bonuses to skills or feats that he had before, would be changed to those of the new animal.

i will make it so that he will not be able to take on new forms if a druid of the appropriate level could not shapeshifft in to them (i made this rule up. i like this rule ^-^).

and i think thats it. something i'd like to clarify is that he will be able to speak.

this is my look at it, tell me if i am missing something. thanks! :D

he can talk freely. but can an animal actually gain class levels? say he was a rogue (sly fox kinda thing), could he be proficient with weapons? could he pick a lock? how do i advance him?

do i take the the base fox attributes, changethe the int and wis to fit the character, and then give him a class?

edit: also, lets say at level four he added an attribute point to dex. then one day he switches to the body of a bear. should i let him reallocate the point, or do i make him keep it?

i'm confused by my own musings. @_@

Hi, i'm a new DM and am running a new adventure for my friends. in this adventure one of my players is playing a human who switched bodies with a fox (from some horrible experiment). The idea is that he is questing to aquire a new body and on his adventures he will get opportunities to "upgrade" from time to time until he finds a way to get a proper body (the upgrades can be like, becoming a bear or a hawk or maybe even a construct).

now, the idea is good and all, but i am having a hard time figuring out how to make a character sheet for him. i understand that he is supposed to be limited by his new form, but i want him to have the ability to progress in levels like the rest of the team, by gaining skills and feats (for the sake of him having fun).

if anyone has any idea as how to go about this, i would love to hear it! thanks for the help!

some additional information:
1) i assume that because he switched bodies, he would have the physical attributes of a fox and the mental attributes that he had before the switch. as would be the same with any other form he takes later.
2) we have yet to decide what class he would be because we don't know if he can have a class or how it would transfer from one form to another. we don't even know what class he would be if he were to one day find a new body.

thank you for your time!
