I decided to rebuild Birdfood as a Packmaster Hunter at the 11th hour. My party may encounter him tonight. The build is not finished and I have to go pick up my son in 5 mins. Any chance the community here could fill in the gaps please? I think the only thing I am missing is teamwork feats. Thank you.

I hope the session went well. I looked at doing the same thing but what changed my mind was the limitations on using animal focus (it could only apply to one companion). I instead kept him as a ranger but gave him Boon Companion to give him the levels necessary to make the birds Companion 2s (picking up the Hover feat for each).

I completely forgot to give one of the companions focus. It didn't really matter, they dropped fairly quickly. Birdfood's Gravity arrows were pretty devastating and all but one of the party went into the negatives with one death. I also was using the sword to hit bonus, so he was dealing with a pretty hefty penalty. So far, this is the second ranger in the campaign I have rebuilt. What's the point of having favored enemy human if there are no PC humans?
