Hello,
i need some advice with my newest Char. I want to build a Char like a Squigherder from Warhammer online. Make good Damage with his bow and have a Squig to protect the little Git.
The race should be a Goblin and we start at level 3 with 25 points to buy.
For the Squid we use the traits of a proper animal (if there is one :)
We can use all stuff from the OGL.
What do you think about the new Hunter? ...or other builds...
I am glad about every help!!!

I think you should put 13 (or more) into cha and (ab)use the evolved companion feat to give your companion some abilities above what a normal animal would have.
As squigs (if I remember right) are mainly a mouth on legs an small or medium animal with a big bite would be fitting. Give it improved natural attack bite and the bite evolution via evolved companion. That way the bite does not only get a higher damage but also adds 1-1/2 str to damage.
Hunter might work well. It is definitely if you want to have a strong companion. Or you could go summoner. But I do not know how good they are as archers.
Suggestions for animals:
- Badger
- goblin dog
- giant toad
- giant weasel
Edit: The hint about taking the bite evolution is only helpful if the animal in question has more natural attacks than just the bite. With only one natural attack you always add 1-1/2 str.
Primal Companion hunter would probably be the way to go.
Or if homebrewed, make up a squig, and add it to the companion list for hunters, or create an archetype for them.
Hello again,
thanks for your tips.
the goblin is not the best in Cha! I do not know if it
is the best choice?!
What do you think about 4 level Luring Cavalier + horse master feat ?
and how do i get enough damage from my bow and companion
to keep up with our Warrior and Sorc? ... i know i can't,
but at least a little bit.

You could always go summoner but that is a cha based class. I think primal companion hunter is the way to go. If you really want to be ranged I'd suggest ranger but their animal companion selection is small. As a substitute for a squig you could reflavor the trex it starts out medium but it's a nasty biting machine.
Another option if you could see riding the "squig":
Go sohei monk archer and use buyable mounts like riding dogs or ask your GM if he allows you to get a mount via the torchbearer feat. You can full attack with the bow while your mount moves. Archers are among the best damage dealers in the game so keeping up should not be hard. And the sohei gets abilities to make his mount tougher. And he can use monk bonus feats to get mounted feats without prerequisites.
