OK, so I'm confused as to what this feat actually does. I use Hero Lab and don't see anything different with my animal companion with this feat selected. It could be that it's a bug and I was going to send them an email but I couldn't get a solid function of the feat by reading it.
Benefit: If you have the animal companion class feature, pick one of the following types of animal companions that this feat affects: bird, dog, small cat, or horse. If you have the divine bond (mount) or mount class feature, this feat always affects horses.
You gain a +2 bonus on Handle Animal and Knowledge (nature) checks with creatures of that type of animal. Furthermore, you are treated as one level higher when determining the abilities of your animal companion or mount, as long as it is of the chosen type.
At first I thought that the companion was 1 level higher but the bolded part confuses me. Does it only affect certain aspects of the companion or am I right and it is just a level boost? It also doesn't mention any kind of cap like boon companion does. Is it capped (at character level) and just not written in the text?
Let me ask you this:
What class and level are you? Do you also have Boon Companion?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but what animal companion do you have?
