Axebeak Companion Boon Application Question *SPOILERS*

[Fomsie]

Hello all,

Just trying to clarify if the Axe Beak Companion Boon from

SPOILER:

Completing all 3 parts of the "Quest for Perfection" line of scenarios.

It states "If you posses a class feature which permits you to take an animal companion or a mount that progresses as an animal companion, you may add the Axe Beak to your list of legal and available companions".

I want to make sure that this would apply to the Lunar Oracle "Primal Companion" mystery.

Thanks for the help.

Yes it does. If it is added to the list and is now legal, you can take it with the Primal Companion mystery.

[Wolfspirit]

Similarly, if you're a Nature Oracle that's level 4+ you can use it with the "Bonded Mount" revelation to have an axe beak with 6 intelligence!

[Fomsie]

Awesome! Now my Angel kin Fighter/Lunar Oracle (Purifier) can have a celestial chokobo!

Actually, I think Axe Beak is now legal anyways, isn't it?

No.

The slightly longer answer is... it depends.

Animal Companions (p. 311): antelope, archelon, axe beak, baluchitherium, basilosaurus, dimetrodon, elk, giant chameleon, giant gecko, giant vulture, iguanodon, kangaroo, megalania, pachycephalosaurus, spinosaurus, thylacine; Familiars: all familiars listed on pages 112-113 and the carbuncle and sprite; Feats: none of the feats are legal for play for PCs, animal companions, or familiars unless specifically granted by another legal source; Other: all creatures in this book are legal for polymorph effects (including a druid's wild shape ability) within the boundaries of each spell or ability's parameters.

So the Axe Beak is a legal 'Animal Companion' choice.

The benefit of this particular boon is that it adds the Axe Beak to 'limited' animal companion/mount lists (such as that of the Primal/Lunar oracle mysteries, or the ranger animal companion list).

I hope that helps! :-)

Ahhh, I get it. So this applies to paladins and cavaliers too, I assume. Probably wasn't going to play one of those anyways so that's all right.

we're doing CORE qfp 1-3 at our local con this weekend and I'm wondering if the axebeak would be considered a legal animal companion for a ranger once s/he hits lvl 4

I have visions of a dual-wielding ranger flanking with his enlarged axebeak to kick butt and am hoping that they can be a reality

[SCPRedMage]

Without the boon: no, because it's not on the list of options for rangers in the CRB.

With the boon: yes, because the boon adds it as an option.

Spinosaurus was quietly removed from the list of legal companions at...some point.

Ah, I didn't realize that quote wasn't from the most recent AR.

Here's what it says now for anyone else that was confused.
