Can animal companions get 6 attacks a round?


Rules Discussion


I'm concerned that, at 1st level, if you have, say, a bear animal companion as a ranger, you can issue 3 commands as your 3 actions, each of which is for that bear to make two attacks (since as your animal companion each of your commands gives your companion 2 actions which they can perform immediately). Am I reading this right, or is there some crucial piece of info I'm missing somewhere that says that you don't get to have 6 attacks in a round at level 1?

Glossary on page 634. Minions are specifically limited to 2 actions per turn and that you can only command them once per turn.


Awesome. Thanks!


Also there is a ranger feat called COMPANION’S CRY that allows a PC to spend two actions instead of one which gives the companion an extra action. That wouldn't make any sense to exist if you could just use the Command an Animal action instead.
