Second Animal Companion?


Rules Questions


So, my friend has told me that he wants to make a druid with two animal companions for a game he will be playing in soon-a roc and a wolf. I really don't think it's possible, but I wanted to ask the good people of Paizo forums before I crush his dreams :P So...is this possible?


Pack Lord Archetype for the Druid Class. This allows him to have more than one companion, effective Druid level split between those companions. IE Pack Lord Druid Level 6 could have a Wolf 3 and Roc 3.

Boon Companion Feat to boost an Animal Companions level by 4 (but no higher than your characters level).

So, if you were Pack Lord Druid Level 6, you could have Wolf 1 and Roc 5, Take the Boon Companion Feat for the Wolf and half Wolf 5 and Roc 5.

Or, Wolf 2, Roc 2, 3rd animal, 3 Boon Companion Feats and all animals would be at 6.

Pack Lord Druid gets an Improved Empathic Link at 6th level so it might help to have a disposable scout creature, say Wolf 2, Roc 2, Hawk 2. and take 2 Boon companion feats to have Wolf 6, Roc 6, Hawk 2.

Keep in mind that when you gain a level, you only advance 1 companion. If the Druid wants to reset HD, he has to release at least 2 companions and then reacquire them.


Animal companions with an Intelligence of 3 or higher can select any feat they are physically capable of using. They'll get a stat increase at 4th level.

Look into some of the Teamwork Feats, Precise Strike and Outflank have worked well for me.

A team of Wolf 6, Wolf 6 with Weapon Focus (bite), Precise Strike and Outflank can be nice. Getting better at Wolf 7, Wolf 7.
