reading up on the beastmaster class, i was trying to get some sort of effective build out of it.
using wild cohort, and 4 levels of beastmaster, i can get 3 animal companions. one will be almost as good as an animal companion (1HD off), one will be on the level of an animal companion and one will be a little way off.
now, halfling outrider advances animal companions - so 10 levels in that advances all three companions.
I'm thinking a halfling Wilderness Rogue/Ranger with rapid shot, mounted on a riding dog with a charger build (wild cohort), working with a brown bear grappler (first animal companion with natural bond twice) and a sneaky companion, like a snake or a hawk.
alternatively, i could weaken the brown bear and spend the natural bonds on the other animal companion to bring it up to speed as a wolf. using the bear to grapple, i'll get some sneak attack. using the bear and the wolf together with the dog, i should be tripping, grappling, charging and sneak attacking.
has anyone ever played anything like this?
