[QUOTE="tmaaas, post: 1069965, member: 6481"] Have the Animal Bond ability grant multiple animal companions: For example, Lvl 1: A second animal companion as per a Druid three levels less. Lvl 2: A third animal companion as per a Druid six levels less. Lvl 4: A fourth animal companion as per a Druid nine levels less. Lvl 6: A fifth animal companion as per a Druid twelve levels less (min 1). Lvl 8: A sixth animal companion as per a Druid fifteen levels less (min 1). Lvl 10: A seventh animal companion as per a Druid eighteen levels less (min 1). Druid/Animal Lord levels stack for pursposes of determining animal companion special abilities. Thus, a Druid 6/Animal Lord 1 could have two companions (per Druid levels 7 and 4, respectively). A Druid 10/Animal Lord 10 could have four companions (per Druid levels 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, 5, and 2). As the Animal Lord gains levels, he gets more companions, but each one is progressively weaker. Alternatively, if you want the Animal Lord to have [i]a lot[/i] of companions, you could let the Animal Lord double the number of companions (stackable) for every three effective Druid levels lower they are. So, a Druid 6/Animal Lord 1 could have: One level 7 animal companion, or Two level 4 animal companions, or Four level 1 animal companions. A Druid 10/Animal Lord 10 could have: One level 20 animal companion, or Two level 17 animal companions, or Four level 14 animal companions, or Eight level 11 animal companions, or Sixteen level 8 animal companions, or Thirty-two level 5 animal companions, or Sixty-four level 2 animal companions. For a little more freedom, allow some mix or match: Druid 6/Animal Lord 1 with: One level 7 animal companion, or Two level 4 animal companions, or One level 4 and two level 1 animal companions, or Four level 1 animal companions. Disclaimer: I give no assurances that any of the above is balanced. But with a little work, it probably could be. E.g., double the number of companions every five instead of three reduced levels of effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
