[QUOTE="zyzzyr, post: 755323, member: 1867"] Hi all, It doesn't seem possible to go Rgr6/Animal Lord9. You need two feats to take Animal Lord: Animal Control (direct prereq) and Animal Defiance (prereq for Animal Control). These feats require you to be able to cast speak with animals and detet animals or plants, respectively. Since Rangers don't get spellcasting abilities until 4th level, they only have 1 feat between 4 and 6, and thus can only take one or the other. It looks as though you would need to be a 9th level Ranger to get the extra feat, or take a level of fighter to get the extra feat. [i.e. you need to take Animal Defiance at 3rd, which isn't possible with Ranger]. One odd sidenote: Being a Rgr6/Lord9 might be possible if you are a gnome. Gnomes can cast speak with animals for burrowing animals only - this might allow them to take Animal Control (though would it only let them control burrowing animals?). Nightfall - I definitely looked at Vigilant, but I didn't like the ties that come with it - my DM would probably make these obligations an important part of the world, and I wanted to avoid that. Will look at it again in case I missed something. Cheers, zyzzyr [/QUOTE]
