Hi all -
I have a character that is multi-multi-multi-class.
3 Rogue, 2 Fighter, 1 Bard and 1 Druid. With the Druid at 7th level, I took Boon Companion giving my Lion some bonuses.
Now that I want the PrC Battle Hearld, I need to take a level of Cavalier.
How will the animal companion aspects stack or not stack from the two classes as well as the Boon Companion feat.
If I lose my companion, am I able to get a new one within 24hrs or must I wait via the Cavalier aspect (I understand the waiting of 1 level for the benefits from the Cav). Does the Animal Companion go up a level from the Cav or only if I take another level of Druid?
I'm all about taking multiple classes because that fits the Goldfrapp method (and with a 10 Wis, the only reason to take Druid was for the Animal Companion) - and with no reworking of PC's in PFS, it's staying.
I appreciate the feedback and rules - as some of it might or might not jive together the way I would prefer.
Thanks.
Goldfrapp the Naked Taldoran Trebuchet.

Well.... Animal companion classes only grant one animal companion and your effective druid levels stack for the purposes of the animal companion.
The character’s druid level. The druid’s class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion’s statistics.
With the following issue:
This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using the cavalier’s level as his effective druid level. The creature must be one that he is capable of riding and is suitable as a mount.

I suppose more info might be needed.
Golfrapp is a Halfling. Thus the Lion is a suitable mount for the Cavalier class.
But even with that, I think I'm missing the finer point.
From Druid 1 + Boon Companion (+4 levels) the Lion is a 5th level AC (with all the extra feats, skills and ability adjustment that comes with it). Does the Cavalier aspect increase the Lion to level 6? Or is it that the Boon Companion sets one class as the AC grantor, does that mean that the Cavalier aspect won't increase the lion?
I do appreciate the thoughts and advice.

Start with the above. Levels in Cavalier add a 1-for-1 bump to the effective Druid level of the Animal Companion.
Whether you have to wait 24 hours or longer to replace a slain companion..urg, it's a rough question.
I think the fairest way to do it is allow replacement of the Animal Companion after 24 hours but without the benefit of the Cavalier levels. After a Cavalier mount would normally be replaced, advance the replacement companion to take the Cavalier levels into account.
I'm not sure I'd do it the fairest way as a GM, since it also adds complexity, and I'd be a bit leery of the multi-dip-dabbler in a game I ran (so I might be inclined to be harsh and say you have to want the longer time for the whole thing once you add the Cavalier levels).
