[QUOTE="Christian, post: 3254383, member: 381"] :uhoh: Somewhere on these boards is a thread about a party that was trapped in a desert & ran out of food, and ended up eating the druid's companion. The next day, they agreed to stop for the day so the druid could summon a new one; the party unanimously suggested she select a bison for maximum food value. :lol: Oh, yes. I took that feat for the DMPC druid in the game I run for my kids, and was thrilled by how well that worked out. When I chose to play a druid in my current game, I was pleased :] to find on the DM's list of house rules that he was using the 'Spontaneous Metamagic (daily uses)' rule from UA.
