[QUOTE="LifebaneSoulshadow, post: 1547409, member: 7475"] I'm playing a 2nd level druid, soon to be 3rd level. Part of the character concept behind this druid is that he was raised by a dwarvish family eventhough he, himself is human. So his spell selection and 'theme' if you will is a druid that is very at home in the underdark/dungeons, rather than out in the wild. (although he has some training in it also) The PHB list of 1st level druid companions have wolf and riding dog hugely in the lead both in terms of general utility and combat survivability. Problem being I'd like something 'comparable' to those, but with a dungeon/underdark theme. As of yet I havent been able to find other source books that list other alternate druid animal companions. I also find that everyone and their brother that does play a druid always takes either wolf or usually riding dog as their companion. I want this character to be comparable, but different. A 5hp dire rat doesnt cut it. At 4th level and higher I can use the one for PHB and there are some other neat choices. (dire bat being one) But at 1st-3rd level, I need something else. Does anyone know of alternate books that list animal companions for druids that might fit my character's theme? Thanks in advance, Lifebane Soulshadow * [/QUOTE]
