I am just about to start converting my Druid to 3.5 and I came upon an interpretation problem with the Animal Companion advancement info and table.
I am not sure how the table works, do the figures represent how much extra HD (etc) an animal ganes with each level increase or do the numbers represent the total increase from the base animal?
So does the animal gain +2 HD when my druid reaches '3rd-5th' level and then an additional +4 HD when my druid reaches '6th-8th' to make it a total of +6HD?
The description leads me to believe that this is the case because for STR/DEX increase it says that this value is added to the companions str/dex score. So at 3rd level a wolf's str would now actually be 14 not 13 and at 6th the str score would be 16.
umm, any thoughts on this?
