[QUOTE="Terraism, post: 7909, member: 278"] I'd say ECL +1... if it weren't for the whole animal companion thing. That's a bit powerful - you're giving them perhaps 1/4 of a 1st level class' abilities as a racial trait. Also, there's a stacking problem... how does that work if the character takes a level of druid - after the first level it isn't a problem, but that first level seems a bit unfair... look at it this way... [b]1st Level Mistani Fighter[/b] [list] [*]d10 Hit Points [*]2 Feats [*]Weapon Proficiency: Simple & Martial [*]Armor Proficiency: All [*]+1 BAB [*]3 HD worth of Animal Companions [/list] [b]1st Level Mistani Druid[/b][list] [*]d8 Hit Points [*]1 Feat [*]Weapon Proficiency: Druidic [*]Armor Proficiency: Light & Medium, minus metals [*]Nature Sense [*]3 HD worth of Animal Companions [*]3 0th level spells, 1 1st level [/list] Notice anything? The fighter's extra feat nicely cancels out the druid's 'Nature Sense', and the extra 'balance' remaining on the fighter side overpower the few spells as well. Not much chance for the Druid, honestly. I'd say to ditch the free animal companions - the idea is a nice one, but giving them Druid as favored class should be good enough... [/QUOTE]
