As I said in my previous thread, I'm going to be playing a Beastmaster soon. I'll take 7 levels of Beastmaster and the Wild Cohort feat, which means I'll have 5 companions. Assuming the Natural Bond feat affects all of them, these are the effective Druid levels for my companions when I'm level 20 (I'll take 2 levels of a class that doesn't advance them):
Druid animal companion - 20
Wild Cohort - 20
Beastmaster 1 - 23
Beastmaster 2 - 18
Beastmaster 3 - 15
Size is not going to be a problem too often according to the DM.
Now, to my questions:
Which are the best animal companions at level 20? So far I have:
Charger: Dire / Horrid Tiger
Trampler: Dire / Horrid Elephant
Aerial: Roc
Grappler: Dire / Horrid Bear
Medium animal companion for when the others don't fit: Fleshraker Dinosaur
Does that sound right? I'm worried about the Fleshraker being worthless at this level. Also, we'll probably get to epic levels, so I'll have a sixth companion. I have absolutely no idea what to get in that case.
My second question is how to use them effectively in combat. They can't use magic items or wands so there's only so much they can do. I guess feats can fix this somewhat. Any tactical advice?
Thanks for the help.
