Hi folks,
I was going over the books these days and discovered some interesting PrC. Namely Animal Lord and Tamer of Beasts (both in Races of the Wild).
Now I'm reading the prequisits for these classes and it sais: Ability to cast animal friendship
I can't find that spell... it sais it's a druid spell, but I can't find it. Where do I find it?
Second thing: Taking one level for Tamer of Beasts effectivly doubles the amount of HD you can have as companions. So if I take 9 levels of druid and 1 level of Tamer of Beasts, I can have a total of 2*(9+1) HD of companions. Cool thing.
Now animal lord gets animal bond at first level, which reads: Just as a druid you can gain a companion with HD of double your level as animal lord. Gee... if that is really so, level 1-3 animal lord can't have a companion if for example you take bear as your totem. Is that really so? Or can you just add your animal lord level to your existing druid level to determin the maximum amount of HD your companion can have?
Ok, now to sum up: I plan on making a druid 9/ tamer of beasts 1/ bearlord 10 character. Now, the question is, a polarbear can be picked as a bearlord, but can not be taken unless you are atleast level 10 druid. What applies?
And last but not least: does the animal companion template apply as if I were a level 20 druid, or just a level 9 druid? (both tamer of the beast and animal lord can upgrade their companions like a druid can).
Cheers,
Farlion
