Druid Animal Companion Question


Rules Questions


Druid animal companions are able to gain stats, meaning that it's possible for the animal to go from a 2 intelligence to a 3. There are a few sources that cite special rules for animals that gain this intelligence bump being able take additional feats and skills, rather than those that animals are typically limited to.

The bestiary, though, states that animals can't have an intelligence more than 2. Does this mean that when an animal companion gains this intelligence bump that they become magical beasts or some other creature? Or do these animals merely break the rule for animals presented in the Bestiary.

I'd appreciate any answers/opinions you could give, as well as documentation (if possible).


It's just a special animal. To compare, a paladin's mount or a wizard's familiar has an intelligence of at least 6 but it still has the animal type.
