Message: <blockquote data-quote="MacMathan" data-source="post: 2399897" data-attributes="member: 191">Interesting idea. I had always though of it as more of catch up skill for multi-classed druids and rangers.It makes for some very tough animal companions with a straight druid. Not that it matters from a rules stand-point but would this allow the animals to have more HD than the Druid himself?It looks like it would. Then my worry, from a DM/balance stand point, would be the already powerful druid class also having a 5hd friend at level 4. That pretty much means the animal will be as tough or tougher than the melee types in the party so they may feel over shadowed.It would think it would be somewhat like allowing leadership companions at or above the PCs level rather than 2 or 3 behind.I think it may fly as written but I do not know if I would allow it IMC that way. It will be interesting to see if there is any coherent errata or clarification from WoTC.(not holding my breath<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
