Bodyguard Archetype Companion

[Hushed]

So Improved Spell Sharing (Teamwork) functionally allows me to regain Share Spells, since you're only ever targeting yourself- assuming the use of a saddle that shares teamwork feats or a class feature to do the same.

Totem Beast Mouse aspect can even get back the evasion and improved evasion that was traded away.

Use of the Perfectionist Shavtoosh as a slotless item can get it Improved Unarmed Strike, which is a great way to open a lot of options given its limited HD and feats.

Is there any way for the companion to gain improved uncanny dodge? Or any other good corner cases to give it features that might keep it alive or relevant past level 10? I'm looking for good bang for your buck, preferably applicable to a horse (mount).

Given that a Bodyguard Archetype has the Tenacious Guardian class skill, it can always act in the surprise round, so I wouldn't say IUD is worth it.

And the Bodyguard synergises well with the Lookout teamwork feat - best if you're a melee hunter. Helps to keep it relevant moreso by enabling you than by contributing itself.
