Is there any way to give a land based animal companion a swim speed?


Advice


As the title asks, Is there any way, Feat, class ability, not too expensive magic item, Something, That can give a land based animal companion (Like say a wolf or sometihng) A swim speed, And possibly water breathing?


For swim speed look at touch of the sea

School transmutation; Level alchemist 1, bloodrager 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1; Elemental School water 1

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a fish scale)

EFFECT
L
Range touch
Targets creature touched
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)

DESCRIPTION

You cause webs to grow between the target’s fingers and its feet to transform into flippers, granting a swim speed of 30 feet along with the standard +8 bonus on Swim checks and the ability to take 10 even if distracted or endangered. You can also use the run action while swimming, provided you swim in a straight line. This transformation causes any boots or gloves the target is wearing to meld into its form (although magic items with a continuous effect continue to function). This spell does not grant the target any ability to breathe water.

Now of the creature is going to stay in the water and your evil look at Flesh warping

Shark Gills

Price 9,000 gp; Slot neck; Elixir Price 500 gp; Temporary Duration 1 hour; Saving Throw DC 20

DESCRIPTION

The gills and some of the glands of a shark are grafted to the subject’s neck and into its lungs, changing the way its respiratory system works. While it benefits from this fleshcraft, the subject can breathe water.

Penalty The subject can no longer breathe air.

CREATION REQUIREMENTS

Cost 4,500 gp; Fleshwarper, Craft (alchemy) 15 ranks; Heal DC 25; Elixir Cost 250 gp


Thank you, I was hoping something less spell casting so it could be used by anyone, I guess wands are a thing if you buff up your UMD a lot. (I dont really know how UMD works so I'l have to look that up)

The Gills wouldn't work well as I'd want the animal companion to be able to go on land still..

Thank you for the sugestions! =)


The gills as an elixir is only temporary (1 hour) but if they fail the save take 1d6 con damage so it’s dangerous


Any 2nd level companion with the Elemental Companion archetype gains a swim speed and waterbreathing.

If you have Animal Focus already (hunter, sacred huntsmaster, etc) then Planar Focus gives you (and your companion) a ton of utility.
