Animal Companion Skills


Rules Questions


Say someone is able to get their animal companion's intelligence to 10, how many skill ranks per level do they have? Is it the same as a Wizard (2+int), the same as the Druid(4+int), the same as an Eidolon(6+int), or the same as a Rogue(8+int)?

I highly doubt it would be the same as the Rogue but I feel like I have to cover all bases encase it is the right answer.

Animal companions gain skills as animal companions.
I dont have my book with me atm so i will take this info from the d20pfsrd website.
Animal Companions start at 1st lvl with 2 ranks, they gain 1 rank at 2nd lvl, 0 ranks at 3rd, 1 at 4th, 1 at 5th, 1 at 6th, 0 at 7th, 1 at 8th, 1 at 9th, 1 at 10th, 0 at 11th, 1 at 12th, 1 at 13th, 1 at 14th, 0 at 15th, 1 at 16th, 1 at 17th, 1 at 18th, 0 at 19th, and one at 20th.
If it gains an INT of 10 or more it gains bonus skill ranks as normal, but can not have more ranks in a skill than they have HD

Animals, as defined in the Bestiary, are 2 + Int modifier.


2+ int, but chances are very good you're getting their int that high with a headband of intellect, in which case you've already gotten in the bonus skills. In fact with a headband on anything with 2 skill points per level and an int below 8, you get MORE skill points than you would from upping their intelligence.
