You and your companion creature are adept at fighting together against foes.
Prerequisite(s): Int 13, Combat Expertise, ability to acquire an animal companion.
Benefit: When you and your companion creature have this feat, your companion creature is adjacent to you or sharing your square, and you both threaten the same opponent, you are considered to be flanking that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning.
Normal: You must be positioned opposite an ally to flank an opponent.
A cavalier gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry him into battle. 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. A Medium cavalier can select a camel or a horse. A Small cavalier can select a pony or wolf, but can also select a boar or a dog if he is at least 4th level. The GM might approve other animals as suitable mounts.
The prerequisite doesn't say "Animal Companion class feature" like other feats with class ability prereqs do. So my question is simply, since the class ability isn't called out as a prereq, does the mount ability that functions as an animal companion qualify for "abilty to acquire an animal companion"?
I would think that the cavalier qualifies for any feat that has Animal Companion as a prereq.
Mount (Ex): A cavalier gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry him into battle. This mount functions as a druid's animal companion, using the cavalier's level as his effective druid level.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's probably a duck. SKR had some choice words on that topic back in the day.
