I would like to have a Cavalier & Fighter character & use boon companion. Has any one worked this out?
As far as I can tell, the cavalier's mount functions as a druid's animal companion. Therefore, "Boon Companion" should apply.
Boon Companion is worded a bit oddly, but the intent of the feat is similar to the "Natural Bond" feat from 3.5. Basically, you add 4 to your effective druid level, up to a maximum of your character level.
A Cavalier 1/Fighter 4 with Boon Companion would be treated as a Druid 5 for the purpose of the Animal Companion.
A Cavalier 1/Fighter 1 with Boon Companion would be treated as a Druid 2.
A Cavalier 2/Fighter 3 would be treated as a Druid 5.
A Cavalier 1/Fighter 8 would be treated as a Druid 5.
Hope that helps.

What type of feat is the Boon Companion? If it is not a combat feat neither a Fighter nor Cavalier could take it. Do I have this right?
