[QUOTE="Nikroecyst, post: 3306895, member: 47287"] The following is as cited from the PHB pg 36 (3.5) "...... An animal comapion gains additional skill points and feats for bonus HD as normal for advancing a monster's hit dice (see the Monster Manual)." Now I take a wolf as my animal companion at first level, and i continue till im third level. At third level as a Druid my companion gains a bonus 2 HD, now making it a total of 4 HD for my wolf. As in the monster manual when a wolf hits 4+ HD its size increases to large. There seems to be no stipulation as whether or whether not you get the size increase due to bonus HD for a companion. I wouldn't think it would due to the fact that the companion becomes ALOT more powerful with a size gain and that it doesn't seem to say that it does. On the other hand it doesn't come right out and say that it doesn't. It talks about hp, skill pts, and every thing else EXCEPT size increases. It even cites the MM. So do you get the size increase or not? [/QUOTE]
