[SPoD]

Bestial Ally (Bard)
The Bard gains a beast to aid him, drawn to the bard by the beautiful music he or she makes, and kept there by the connection that was made.
Level: 1st
Replaces: Spellcasting
Benefits: The Bard gains an animal companion, as a Druid of her level.

This one is absolutely weaksauce. Trading out casting up to sixth level spells for a pet wolf? Awful trade.
