It's in there...Yeoman said:Does a druid's CR factor in their animal companion, or is it added separately?
That's what I thought. I was sure that static abilities were already factored in.mikebr99 said:It's in there...

lukelightning said:But don't forget that if the PCs encounter the animal separate from the druid, they should get full xp for defeating the animal. For example, Sneaky MacDruid sends his dire wombat to attack the party but doesn't himself join in the fight (perhaps hiding in the trees in the form of a koala). If the party defeats the wombat they should get xp for deafeating it.
Nonlethal Force said:To me, it's just as easy to tell the party they get Y xp for defeating the animal companion and (Z-Y) xp for defeating the druid if that occurs in seperate combats. [Z=druid's full xp value, Y=animal companion's full xp value]

Do not mess with the housecats.Arkhandus said:.......unrelated note, but I DEMAND that we get stats for Dire Wombats and Dire Koalas! And, while someone's at it, Dire Mongooses, Porcupines, and Toads!!!
...Of course, a Dire Toad would probably be size Small or Tiny, and still weaker than a housecat in D&D.![]()
