So we are starting up a new campaign this sat. and I have been kicking around the idea of a small race(Halfling or Goblin) Druid pack lord . The idea is to have a Roc as a flying mount at 1st level and then add a ground mount/melee Animal Companion at 2nd level .
Using Boon Companion on them both to keep their levels near mine . We never seem to keep a campaign going past 12 th level or so . Anytime we will be doing something where the Roc can't go I will just release him and get a good melee companion and gound mount like a wolf or boar .
I really like the idea of having a mount and melee companion. What I'm looking for here is other great ideas both fluff and crunch to help me flesh out my idea .
My first 3 feats will be
1)Mounted Combat
3)Boon companion
5)boon companion
thanks for any help/ideas
P.S. not looking for a full build here just fun cool ideas.
No one ? Lol
Seems like it could work...
That's a use of Boon Companion I hadn't thought of before. I like it!
You can keep two animal companions at full levels through 8th, then keep one at full levels and the other at 8th. Also, the only "cost" of this strategy is 1 daily use of Wildshape and 2 feats.
You could really get good use out of this at lower levels...
This is a really interesting concept!
Is there a problem if you take one level dip into another class that offers a mount or druid-animal equivalent? I.e. the cavalier or its Beast Rider archetype? Would it impact your mount level, using the PackLord's ability? (It seems like you can, but I'm not a rules expert)
I'm imagining Joust (the game), with your gnome charging in with a Roc and a lance. Do you ever want to wildshape, or do you intend to be mostly a mounted fighter, surrounded by melee minions?
Sylvan's Companion is their Arcana and not eligible for EH.

I was also thinking about having all 3 of us take team feats and just gang up on everything . 3 pounce tigers at 7 th level sounds like alot of fun. LOL

It would be fun to play, for example, a Pack Lord/Wolf Shaman. Be a wolf who has two wolf friends and summons wolves:)

Can you really combine something like PackLord with Boar Shaman?
Pica pica?
Wolfy-chu, I choose you!
Less: "Pika?"
More: "Arcanine I choose you!"

Well, here's the RAW issue...
Both Archetypes modify the same class ability, Nature Bond.
Granted, the modification of one totally fits with the other...but I could see a very RAW'y GM saying, "Nope, these two archetypes don't stack, sorry."
By R.A.W.? No. By R.A.I.? Maybe.
I personally allow Archetypes if they only Modify the Ability and don't completely rename the ability. And they don't change the same Aspect of the ability. Meaning if both limit your choices they aren't allowed but if one limits them and the other grants you an additional one you are fine.
