[QUOTE="Horrendos, post: 1643089, member: 15425"] Hiho, creating my Ranger and looking for the Skills i can take i recognized that the HA-Skill is very powerful. Its allow me to handle as many as three creatures of the same kind at once. (15 + HD) So if i have the right items or high Charisma (for example a Paladin which has the HA-Skill as Class-Skill) it is possible to handle much greater Animals as the Ranger can over his Animal companion. For Example: LVL4 Paladin(18 Cha): 10(Take10)+7(Rank)+(4Cha)=21 (==> 6HD Brown Bear * 3) LVL4 Ranger: Animal Companion --> 1 Wolf o0 LVL4 Druid: Animal Companion --> 1 Black Bear o0 If a Barbarian, Paladin or Fighter pushes his HA-Skill very well he will gonna have always better and (together) stronger Allys as the Ranger or Druid. Imho the Life for a Ranger or Druid can get very frustrating if someone else in the Party has much stronger (and more) animal-allys. The Companions "growth" with the lvls but a maximized Wolf of a Ranger would imho never get a chance vs. 3 black-bears which the Pala gets at lvl 4. Whats your opinion? I think this Skill is too powerful... [/QUOTE]
