[QUOTE="TremorFang, post: 5721270, member: 93711"] Hello all, I am currently playing a pathfinder game and my DM likes my current character enough that he wants to take him over/ direct him, around 4th level (currently half way through 3rd lv now) and use him as one of the main evil mages henchmen. He told me that I can prepare another character set at 4th level to take over with once the other leaves the party. I already have a general concept and I know for a fact that I want to play a Druid with the pack lord archetype, heavily focusing on my animal companions. However I do have some general Druid questions that thus far I haven't been able to find clear answers to. So here they are. (1) - It says that Druids gain bonus spells if they have high Wisdom, my next character will have 18 (Well 16 + 2 from the human racial bonus on it). I haven't been able to find out how many if any bonus spells I get and of what level those bonus spells are at. So basically how many bonus druid spells would a character with 16-18 Wisdom get? (2) - I read a little about Orisons and that they let you use 0 lv druid spells more than once. How many Orisons can you prepare and how many times may you use an Orison? (3) - For animal companions it says that they get ranks in skills. How many skills may you add ranks to per companion? Also how many ranks do you get to spend for skills? (4) - Since I am playing a pack lord, I am obviously going to have multiple animal companions. I've already chose an Ape as my main beater, but I am looking for a second and possibly a third. This question is more of on your opinion. I think having a constrictor snake hanging out of a bag of holding would be awesome, but I also think that having a hawk would be great for scouting since I can look through their eyes. Also thought about a viper just because when they hit lv 4 they just become medium maintaining their stealth capabilities somewhat and therefore also good for scouting ahead for me. So what second (and maybe third) companion would you suggest? (Note: I am going to pick the ape at level 1, the second animal at 2, level the second animal until lv 4 and then use Boon Companion bringing the ape to lv4 for me.) (5) - Are there any must have feats for the type of druid I am going to be playing? (Note: He will be a 7 - 9 year old human. Just my story / flavor for a fun character. If you want more background info just ask. The animals act as his friends / protectors / family.) (6) - Are there any suggested feats for my animal companions to take? (7) - What spells would you choose to stand up to a min/ maxer that likes to push others in the party about? He is, from what I can tell either a fighter or a rogue. Using feint and massive damage each swing. Any help, with any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. :) [/QUOTE]
