The and such is a TBA type of thing. About your spell. There is at least one major problem with the spell no cap. A spell at 3rd level that gives you crazy amouts of damage to either you or your Companion. To top it off it is an hour/level so you would be able to do Orb of {type} damage on each hit for 6 hours a day/casting. That makes this a way too powerful spell. Even Weapon of Energy {3rd level Sorcerer/Wizard spell} is weaker only offering 1d6 and the crit like a flaming burst weapon and lasting 1rd/level.
Ruling: No

Remember you should have a portion of your history that you know about but your character does not know. This way I can reveal tiny specks of it as ways of you remembering your past. Otherwise you will completely forget your past and just move forward.

Improved Init. is a good choice, and you can't take weapon focus (grapple), you can take Wpn Focus (Unarmed Strike), or even Clever Wrestling, why not trade great fort with iron will or are you going for something in paticular?Moonstone Spider said:

Just so you know Natural bond only gives you one effective caster level in Druid towards Companion. Practiced Spellcaster should have (Wizard) because you can take it for just about any casting class due to the wording.gabrion said:

Coins--33gp, 11 sp, 8cp 50gp gem x2 10 gp gem x10
XP: 17,000 / 21.000
Appearance:
Eglath is fairly unremarkable as Goliath’s go, but among flatlanders he is an exotic sight standing just short of eight feet tall and weighing 300 pounds. His head is hairless with a pronounced jaw line and strong brow ridge. The eyes are brilliant green and in the shadows almost seem to glow softly with an inner light. His skin is light gray with darker patches and dotted with lithoderms. He is massively muscular. He has a large birthmark on his upper back and a scaring on his chest from an unfortunate slide down a rocky cliff. His voice is gravely and deep with a thick dwarven accent when speaking common. He typically wears a comfortably worn suit of fine studded leather dyed a light gray, but when going into battle he has a suit of full plate. He carries a huge long handled axe, a cold iron morning star and a quiver of massive javelins.
[Personality:
Eglath is friendly and loves games of all types. He is very competitive and does not hesitate to partake of sporting events or gambling. He enjoys telling and listening to stories as well. He is fond of dwarves and gnomes, but has had less experience with humans, elves and halflings and may be a little slower to warm to them. He is slow to anger and rarely starts a fight, but once engaged in battle he is confident and tenacious. He is motivated by the cause of good, protecting the land—particularly the mountains and the wealth beneath them, and not above working for pay as well.
Background:
Eglath was born to the Thuliga some 22 summers ago. He was born with an unfortunate birthmark that obscures part of the natural mottling associated with a Goliath’s fate. This marked him as an unusual child with an uncertain future. He took some teasing from other Goliath children for his birthmark and choose the path of a warrior to earn the respect of his people. He developed his skills and muscles until other boys no longer felt it wise to tease young Eglath. They still tended to talk about his behind his back and he never felt totally welcome among his own people. Just over a year ago Eglath fell sliding down a rocky cliff during a game cliff-climb. He skinned his chest badly further marring the patterns on his skin. Eglath found himself the brunt of much speculation or worse pity. Unlike most of his kin, he took to wearing armor to cover the markings of his body. Feeling frustrated and unwelcome, he eagerly volunteered for a trade mission to dwarven lands and found he like these small people. He choose not to return to his clan, but instead to explore other races and cultures. He supported himself by finding work as a guard, mercenary or simple laborer—any job where his unusual size and strength were assets. He used the profits to acquire fine dwarf made gear and trained hard to improve his skills. Slowly, he has moved further and further from his mountain homeland in the Crystalmists looking for interesting places and cultures as well as profitable work.

His AC is so low because he will be in wild shape 10 hours/day, and if we're doing any fighting after that, he'll be far away from it. As for the HP, why would the last one not be 5 instead of 4?
If you're going to rule it that way I won't object (it is your game after all), but I'll probably switch it out for something else. You should keep in mind though that the wording of the feat says "add three to your effective druid level for determining the bonus hit dice, extra tricks, special abilities, and other bonuses your animal companion recieves," and (the part I'm sure you're hung up on), "This feat can never make your effective druid level exceed your character level."
Under the fleshraker dinosaur (and many of the core animals too), it says that a druid can have one as an animal companionbut they must "apply a -3 adjustment to the druid's level for purposes of determining the companion's characteristics and special abilities." The last part is obviously talking about the stuff an animal companion gets according to the entry on page 36 of the PHB (the same stuff called out in the Natural Bond Feat).
So, I'm a 5th level druid and I decided to get a fleshraker as an animal companion. What does this mean? I'm treated as a 2nd level druid for purposes of the animal companion abilities chart on page 36 of PHB. I then take natural bond, which treats my level for determining animal companion abilities as 3 higher than it is, to the maximum of my actual druid level. In this case, my effective level goes from 2nd to 5th, and since my actual druid level is 5th, it doesn't break the cap established by the feat.
Like I said, if you're deciding to use the feat differently that this then I will simply swap it out, but could you explain your reading?
I'll make sure to add that in there.
Altogether I'm carrying 9 lbs., so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If I acquire more equipment I can always get some kind of saddle bag for my companion and have him carry it too.
Thanks for looking this guy over for me![/sblock]

I just realized I hosed myself on my ability scores, bad math skills. Think I'll go half-orc for the race.Amazing Triangle said:
I'd trade Fortitude for willpower in a heartbeat, but Great Fortitude is a prereq for Drunken Master for no reason that makes any sense. Improved Init sounds like a really good idea, since most of my AC is coming from dex.
If I put weapon focus unarmed strike does that apply only to normal unarmed attacks or does it also work on grappling?
Great. Thanks for checking it. I'll put these changes directly into the sheet above.
One other question, the Drunken Master entry doesn't have any indication for how Drink Like a Demon interacts with low wisdom or int scores. What happens if you have 6 Drinks and you're Int is 10 (-12 for drinks)?
