Special Your ram +1 status bonus to Acrobatics checks to Balance on narrow surfaces and uneven ground

Advanced Maneuver Headbutt
Headbutt (A)
[Flourish]
The ram makes a horn Strike. If this Strike hits, the target is also stunned 1.
I think this belongs in the PF1 section.
Looks neat. Some thoughts:
The Ram's support benefit seems very niche, and their advanced maneuver seems really strong. Might balance out overall, but I'd probably tweak it personally. I'd go with the Cave Gecko's support benefit, it seems to thematically be similar
Support Benefit Your cave gecko helps you stay afoot, leaning into you and propping you up as you maneuver your opponent. Until the end of your next turn, as long as you are adjacent to your cave gecko, if you attempt to Disarm, Shove, or Trip an opponent and roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead.
and change the advanced maneuver to successfully Shove the target instead of stunning it.
The crocodile support benefit description seems to fit the debuff Frightened 1 more than Enfeebled 1.
I think this belongs in the PF1 section.
Uh...what? These are definitely PF2 animal companion statblocks.
Anyway, I totally dig the boar.
I'd point out that minions don't get reactions, so technically the ability shouldn't work, but Paizo added an animal companion with one in the Age of Ashes AP so you're in good company.

Whoops, for some reason I interpreted as "familiar" which, these are not PF2 familiars.

I know the cave gecko's benefit would be perfect for the ram, but I really didn't want to copy existing abilities. There seems to be a concerted effort to make all the companions unique in both their support benefits and advanced maneuvers. That's why the crocodile makes enemies enfeebled instead of frightened, as that condition was already taken by the hyena.
The ram support benefit did cause me the most trouble. I decided that the two qualities I wanted to represent were rock climbing and headbutting. Representing headbutting was fairly easy, though I think you're right about Shoving the target being a more appropriate benefit than stunning them. Unfortunately, it's hard to make good balance an offensive ability. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

That makes sense. Maybe have the goat support ability render enemies clumsy 1 for one round if you successfully damage them because the goat is outmaneuvering them?
