BTW: how exactly would your dog use a weapon? Awaken only changes their creature type and mental stats. It doesn't change the animal's body at all. While your dog can now speak, it doesn't have hands and it can't use a sword with its mouth.

That was the reason I was considering the archetype which specs into an ability to use magic to make attacks with a sword.

Some pretty good suggestions all around. I'm considering magus and alchemist, after having thought about it.

Ranger with Natural Weapons style and Aspect of the Beast feat?

I always heard ranger is kinda gimped. Is that something that's situationally true, or an exaggeration?

My biggest concern is that he has int as his second highest stat, and making him a pure martial would be pretty wasteful in that regard... at least that's my opinion. Plus he's never really going to be a super viable front line, since he'll always be 2 levels down.

What do you think about a rogue of some sort?

So recently I've awakened an animal and taken it as my character's cohort for the leadership feat.
It's stats are simply amazing, but it has 2 'levels' of animal and 2 'levels' of magical beast. And can't replace a feat it started with (skill focus: perception)

I have 1 class level, and 2 feats to choose for my new buddy and I'm not sure exactly how I want to work this one.

I'm thinking of taking the wizard archetype sword binder and binding him with a +3 benevolent elven curved blade we randomly rolled up, since nobody in our area is rich enough to actually buy that. But I would need to take eschew materials (I'm assuming it would be very hard for a dog to mess with material components while casting a spell) and point blank shot (for Hand of the apprentice)

For character reasons, even with these heavy restrictions, choosing a different companion is out of the question.

Stats:

For anyone who cares about the character reasons for why replacing it is not an option.

So, thoughts?

So, we're running a campaign from lvl 3-20. Me and the DM are trying to work out the best way for my character to wind up as an earth elemental by the end of it. (He's an (earth) elemental bloodline sorcerer). So what do you guys think would be the best path towards this goal?
