Eidolon / Companion / and Familiar Feats

[coastalsoul5]

What are the access points of eilodons, animal companions, and familiars? Can they take monster feats? I been told both... which is it?

[doc the grey]

An animal companion can only select from the list of feats in the animal companion section for the druid, once they have an int over 3 though they may select any feat which they would be capable of performing.

[Starglim]

An eidolon can select any legal feat for which it meets the prerequisites, but doesn't have access to Bestiary feats.

A familiar has the feats listed for its kind in the Bestiary and doesn't gain any more feats.

adding a Bestiary feat to an animal companion that doesn't already get access to that Bestiary feat based on the animal companion write up in either the CRB or the additional animal companions in Bestiary 2 and 3 that are legal, is not ok.

In other words, if you take Lion, and in the animal companion write-up in the CRB, it says it gets Grab and Pounce at 7th level, that's the only Bestiary feats/abilities that your animal companion can take.

Because in general, the Bestiary feats are not legal.

Unless access is granted through another legal source (like the list of feats available to animal companions in the core rulebook).

That's what I thought I said, but guess I wasn't clear enough.

I guess no fly by attack for me!

FWIW, I don't believe there is any way to alter/ add feats to a familiar at all.

beast bonded witch can give feats to her familiar
