When I read it, the first thing that came to my mind was the Giant Eagle and how since it has it's own language, it technically qualifies for the Spellcaster and Expert sidekick role. Base stats, the Giant Eagle has an AC of 13 and 26hp (4d10+4)16 Str, 17 Dex, 13 Con, 8 Int, 14 Wis, 10 ChaWell to me that screams Cleric! How awesome would a Giant Eagle Cleric be? lolFirst ASI we could add +1 Dex and Con. That would raise AC to 14 and increase hp. Second ASI we could add +2 WisThird ASI we could also add +2 Wis to get that DC upForth ASI we could either max Dex or Wis or maybe even put it in Con for better Concentration and hp. Maybe even give it the Mobile feat to increase it's fly speed to 90ft. So a level 20 Giant Eagle Cleric could easily have 20 Dex, 14 Con, and 20 Wis. Ac of 17 with Studded Leather barding and 160hp and it even gets a couple of Signature spells like Bless, Spiritual Weapon, Prayer of Healing, Mass Healing Word, or even Aid. I think a Giant Eagle Sorcerer raining down Lightning Bolts and Fireballs would be pretty epic too lolThe Blink Dog also knows a language and has a 10 Int. It would make a hilarious Spellcaster sidekick too. I can see it barking Healing Word at a fallen buddy in combat lolSend it into combat rocking Spirit Guardians and Spiritual Weapon! I think a Blink Dog would make an excellent Expert too with it's teleporting ability it would be great at scouting. Brass and Copper Dragon Wyrmlings are CR1 as well</blockquote>
