Hey all,
It's been a bit since I posted a questions. However, I was looking back over the Beastmaster from CAdv and had a couple questions with it.
1."As a beastmaster gains class levels, her animal companion gains Hit Dice and other special abilities just as a druid's animal companion does. Use the beastmaster's class level + 3 to determine the animal companion's special abilities. If a beastmaster already has an animal companion from another class, her beastmaster class levels stack with class levels from all other classes that grant an animal companion. For example, a 5th-level druid/2nd-level beastmaster would be treated as a 10th-level druid for the purpose of improving the statistics of her animal companion (and which alternative animal companions she could select)."
So if I was to go ranger, who doesn't get their animal companion until 4, does it stack as it would above where ranger replaces druid or would it consider it as 5th level ranger/5th level druid?
2. "Other class levels in classes that offer an animal companion don't stack for the purpose of determining the power of a beastmaster's additional animal companions, nor do they allow her to choose additional animal companions from the alternative lists."
For the extra animal companions, do they not get the bonuses that the other animals would get if I keep leveling up or do they stay at the level they come in Beast master level -3, -6, -9 with no way to advance?
3. I know of the way of making this work where your mount is the beastmaster pet and stacking to make a monster pet, however is there a way of doing it with multiple pets and making each of them decent combat wise?
4. If 3 is possible, what are some combination of animals/monsters you would take, I know there are feats that let you choose alternative creatures?
Thanks for any help!
