My friend, the weasel.

[BigHatLogar]

Wikipedia says:
In North America, native Americans deemed the weasel to be a bad sign; crossing its path meant a "speedy death".

This is the fear that I hope to strike true into the hearts of the Aspis Consortium. But I'm hoping for some help fleshing out this concept.

I was thinking of going the Hunter route, but I have had a tough time hunting down the proper source material and stat block for a legal animal companion weasel. I'm hoping for a giant weasel w/ the bite+grab offense, but I'd be overjoyed with any legal weasel.

So my questions remains, is hunter the best class for this character concept? I want a tracker type PC who can hunt down the dastardly AC agents and have his weasel friend.

Thanks for any help

Well, you are in luck - as per Additional Resources, the Bestiary 4 giant weasel animal companion (which has a bite+grab+bleed attack) is legal for use in PFS :-)

Beautiful stat block. Thank you sir. Sir Duskpaw Snufflefluffers the Third is most grateful.

Well locally we have a player that uses weasels as combat animals. It's interesting (though he just gets the store bought ones), i have a feeling the bestiary 4 ones would serve you much better.

Will need to find an opportunity to introduce Sir Snufflefluffers to a friend of mine, Fluffy Maulington Esq.

There has got to be a way for us to legal-fu PFS rules to cast awaken on Fluffy Maulington Esq. and give him hunter class levels with Sir Duskpaw as his Animal Companion.

I know, right?

I'm thinking the enemies will have to roll will saves (DC 25) upon seeing him just to not wet themselves and flee in terror.

Don't forget, if you're a Hunter, to give him the Skirmisher trick Cunning Pantomime. The hilarity of a weasel telling the NPC that he should join our cause with Diplomacy is always the right choice!

(Psst, the mustelid-lover in me feels the need to point out that's actually a pine marten, not a weasel. But it's still very awesome and adorable.)

As a huge nature geek and watcher of many documentaries, I can still recall with vivid intensity the most horrifying predator-prey chase scene I've ever watched on television.

It wasn't cheetah vs. gazelle.
It wasn't lions tearing apart a gnu.
And it wasn't the myriad types of parasitic arthropods that consume their victims alive from the inside out.

It was the happy-go-lucky, almost comically adorable stoat chasing after an equally emotion-inducing floppy eared hare.

The screams still haunt me at night.

This rabbit might as well be wearing a sign that says "Aspis Agent"

There is no sanctuary. There is no escape.

Mustelids forever.

for your giant weasel, its one of the rare instances where taking the alternate advancement is better than the normal increase.

Weasel, Giant:

Source: Bestiary 4

Starting Statistics

Size Small; Speed 30 ft., climb 10 ft.; AC +1 natural armor; Attack bite (1d4); Ability Scores Str 10, Dex 19, Con 13, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 10; Special Attacks blood drain (1 Con), grab; SQ low-light vision, scent.

4th-Level Advancement

Size Medium; Attack bite (1d6); Ability Scores Str +4, Dex –2, Con +2.

Instead of taking the listed benefit at 4th or 7th level, you can instead choose to increase the companion's Dexterity and Constitution by 2.

Thats a base dex of 21, and goes higher based on the chart and possibly his hit die increases. Get him an agile amulet of mighty fists and he'll be the most adorable bundle of blood spurting gore ever.

Isn't nature amazing?
