Improved Spell Sharing for druid and animal companion


Advice


I have a melee druid character, could I please get some opinions on what are some good Spells to share with an animal companion via Improved Spell Sharing? Besides Animal growth and Strong jaw.

Feather Step (1st level) lets you ignore difficult terrain. May come up if you like to use Entangle or Stone Call.

Longstrider (1st level) has hours/level and is +10 to base land speed.

Monkey Fish (1st level) can give you a slow but functional way to deal with a bunch of obstacles.

Barkskin (2nd level) is a solid boost to AC, though it doesn't stack with an Amulet of Natural Armor.

Resist Energy (2nd level) scales with level and works against each energy attack that comes your way for the duration.

Spider Climb (2nd level) is a nice way to deal with cliffs and walls.

Vine Strike (2nd level) adds 1d6 damage and a chance to Entangle with each natural attack.

Greater Magic Fang (3rd level) has an hours per level duration and can either boost one attack a lot or all your attacks slightly. Does not stack with Amulet of Mighty Fists for enhancement bonuses, but the AoMF can be used to gain special abilities.

Atavism (4th level) is functionally Rage for animals.

Life Bubble (4th level) protects against a large amount of situations.

I normally don't get to play much with 5th level spells or higher, so that is outside my knowledge.


You realise that you need the horsemasters saddle to make this work.

Or the Pack Tactics Feat.


There is no point trying to spell share animal growth as it doesn't work on you. Some useful options include most of the good buff spells:

Longstrider
Feather Step
Jump
Monkey Fish
Negate Aroma
Animal Aspect/Greater Aspect
Bulls Strength/Cats Grace/Bears Endurance
Barkskin
Delay Poison
Resist Energy
Burrow
Call Lightning (odd but seems to work)
Daylight (harder to get rid of if there are two up)
Greater Magic Fang
Absorb Toxicity
Air Walk
Cape of Wasps
Caustic Blood
Echolocation
Freedom of Movement
Ride the Waves
Strongjaw
Thornbody
Aspect of the Stag/Wolf
Call Lightning Storm
Death Ward
Geniekind
Stoneskin
