so, yeah... additional traits on my animal companion.


Rules Questions


umm can i actually do this at level 5. and take armor expert and get a mithril chain shirt on him? and traits like fates favored, unstable mutagen? Adopted: earth sense, my fav Numerological Gift, and the like? could he get any trait he wanted?

but really i just want to know will the mithril chain shirt work with the armor expert trait.


RAW, with an intelligence of 3, your animal companion can take any feat it is physically capable of using, which I would assume extends to any trait they are capable of using through the Additional Traits feat. Talk with your GM, though; they get the final say on what feats/traits are appropriate for an animal companion.

Unless there is another trait you desperately want, getting additional traits just for armor expert is a waste in combination with a mithral chainshirt.

Mithral Chainshirt doesn't have an ACP so you don't need the trait for that.
Mithral Breastplate on the other hand has 1 ACP left, which would be reduced to 0 with armor expert, and this way you'd save 2 feats (light and medium armor proficiency) and can use the other trait for something that the animal companion qualifies for.

Also, what Rennaivx said :).

Some traits make more sense for an animal companion. Armor Expert seems completely reasonable... Divine Courtesan? Not so much.

Unstable Mutagen seems to modify your already existing Mutagen. The Rest is fine RAW I guess.
