Looking for help

[Rafim]

Hi guys,
i hope this is the right place to ask the question i have.
here we are:

if a cleric (Theologian Archetype) select Animal as her (only) focused domain
the animal companion level at lvl 4 will be

Druid as a Cleric -3 liv so : Cleric 4 + 2(archetype) = 6 - 3 = 3

So basically she looses only 1 level without the use of boon companion feat.

the question is: Does ANYTHING exist to fill that 1level gap without the use of Boon Companion feat??

Trait, items.. but NO FEATs plz.

Thank you.

I got nothing.

[Avoron]

There are several feats, but I don't know of any traits or items that would work.

[Imbicatus]

Human with Eye for talent can give it a +2 to an ability score to try to close the gap, but I don't know of a way to overcome the effective druid level loss without boon companion.

First there is no way to do what your asking.

Secondly What is the point of Theologian Archetype w/ Animal domain?

A lot of the spells in the list are terrible targets for Domain Secret (Ex).

You better off with Vanilla cleric with Boon companion. But the best would be Evangelist Cleric with boon companion.

Theologian is reserved for more of the full caster types of Clerics.

Thank you for answers :)
Yes i know that its not an optimal choice but its great for the type of pc i figured out!!

The idea was a cleric with two animal companions.
The first obtained by the animal domain and the second by the eldritch heritage feat.

The one obtained by EH is boostable with a cloack of arcane heritage and i'm looking for a way to keep the feat slot for something else.

With the two level boost of the Theologian i could accomplish my task using Dinosaur Companion (Ex) from the Saurian Domain.. a couple of t rex? sound well :))

But my idea of character is a cleric with two tigers so that's why i opened this thread :)

The idea is to are ready for lvl 7 when the tigers grow up

so

Human Cleric 7 (Focused study)

Domain

Feather (Animal companion: Tiger)
second domain: depends from the archetype choosen

1 - Boon Companion (Tiger from the Domain). (1B) Skill Focus Knowledge(Nature)
3 - Eldritch Heritage(Sylvan)
5 - Boon Companion (Tiger from the bloodline) or another feat using a cloack of arcane heritage
7 -

Now that's my second goal: divide my cleric buffs with my pets: i found two way to make this

first

Feat Improved Share Spells that requires 10 ranks in Spellcraft so it's usuable from the lvl 11.

second

Improved Sharing spells (teamwork): i can take this feat early and take this even with the two tigers using the stat boost in INT from 2 to 3.

This could be done early in levels (even from the fifth with only one pet atm) but requires the use of one feat for each Tiger

so i dont know what do to..i probably choose the second way so i can have fun playing this early.

So now, i've a cleric with two large tigers with 3 attack pounce rake grab, i can share my buffs (dividing the duration obviously) with them.

With the Evangelist i can start buffing everybody and play with only one domain.
With the Separatist i can pick up a domain for big buff

a lot of options, and i like this :)

However sorry for the digression.
You answered me: there were not a way to do what i asked

thank you.
