Ranger Animal Companion


Advice


Does anyone know of any way to expand the list of animals a ranger can choose from?

I was hoping to get a Bear or possibly a lizard other than a snake.

Scarab Sages

There's the Beastmaster Archetype and....... GM fiat, basically. I think there's also a half orc racial feat you can take that adds some specific critters, let me see if I can find that.

**EDIT**

Here it is:

Beast Rider
You gain the service of a monstrous companion or mount.

Prerequisites: Animal companion or mount class feature, character level 7th, half-orc or orc.

Benefit: Select one of the following creature types: elephant, pteranodon, rhinoceros, stegosaurus, or triceratops. Add this creature type to your list of possible animal companions or mounts. When summoning a creature of the selected type to serve as a mount or companion, treat your effective druid level as if it were two levels higher (to a maximum of your character level). If the creature is large enough for you to ride, it gains the combat training general purpose (see Handle Animal) at no cost.

Scarab Sages

You know, I hadn't noticed how good that was before. In addition to the cool critters, it has that " When summoning a creature of the selected type to serve as a mount or companion, treat your effective druid level as if it were two levels higher (to a maximum of your character level)" which almost completely closes the Ranger gap.


Thanks for the advice
