Hi,
i want to use a Velociraptor as companion. Until lvl7 it gets +1 Natural Armor and is Small, from lvl7 it gehts +2 Natural Armor, +4 STR, -2 DEX, pounce and is medium.
The rules also state:
"Instead of taking the listed benefit at 4th or 7th level, you can instead choose to increase the companion’s Dexterity and Constitution by 2"
Questions:
- Until lvl7, does it get +1 Size Modifier from being small to AC?
- If i chose to take alternative benefit, would the Velociraptor stay small?

Yes to both. Being small gives a +1 to hit too.
But Pounce is a very strong ability and it gets it only if it takes the whole package. Applying spells that increase its size doesn't change that and being medium generally allows it to go everywhere a PC can go, so I see little reasons to keep it small.

Well. It's cute.

If you can figure out a way to get a familiar too, you can take a mauler compsognathus for the cute aspect and have TWO murdersaurs
