All the animals. 3.p beast master.

Heya Playgrounders.

I'm looking to round out a character build with the concept of a beast-mastery theme of sorts along with a measure of air and storm abilities.

Thus far, I'm looking at Druid3/Cavalier4/Nature Warden10, leaving me at level 17 and with a full 17 levels of both Cavalier mount (beast master archetype) and druid animal companion (Pack Lord archetype) via Boon Companion taken twice, once for each class.

What other classes progress animal companion, special mount, and preferably are worded for more than one being progressed at a time.

Wild Cohort (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031118a) will give you a greater than half-strength 3.5 style animal companion. Not sure how your set-up would deal with it though. Maybe Character Level - 3 animal companion? I dunno.

Halfling Outrider progresses both special mounts and animal companions at the same time and is part of the old (caelic's?) Supermount (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19866958/Supermount!). I think that's from Complete Warrior.
