Arcane Hierophant Question about the companion familiar and armor

[DrkMagusX]

If the AH ( Arcane hierophant had a Ape companion and he was able to make his own armor could it be possible to give the ape leather armor,
The Ape would have a INT of 9 and have 9 HD if I had to I could buy the light armor feat.

Also would that be the case for a straight up Druid animal companion with leather armor or studded leather armor?

[Bronk]

Sure, all kinds of monsters and animals can wear armor (or barding), magic items and purpose built weapons... although they might need help putting them on.

[Chronos]

And if it's just leather or masterwork studded, you don't even need a feat for it. The only drawback to wearing armor you're not proficient in is that you take its ACP as a penalty to a bunch of different rolls... But leather and masterwork studded both have an ACP of 0.

... YOU'RE A DRUID! Cast Luminous Armor. Problem solved.

Chronos is right about ACP, though.
