Hi!
I've been playing Rise of the Runelords for a while now, and my friends and I survived the encounter against Barl Breakbone. However, I'm a cleric of Erastil and I had a wolf animal companion that died in the combat. Just before I could cast breath of life and save him, Barl casted Animate Dead on its body.
My DM considered that the undead wolf (dire wolf) should keep all the bonus of the animal companion (excepts its feats). I thought it wasn't fair, but I would like outside opinion on this.
I've looked through the messageboards and I only found this 3 years dead threads with no answer: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2l43v?Dead-animal-companion-and-animate-dead
Should it had been:
A) an undead dire wolf "standard"
B) an undead animal companion dire wolf
C) an undead wolf
There's just not enough rules (or even fluff) about the animal companion class feature to correctly judge what happens when the player dies, the animal companion dies or an animal companion is changed.
What do you think?
