Can't have dire tortoise? :'(

[Venger]

He's actually referring to the "wasteland druid", which is on page 47, and which does indeed have the dire tortoise on its altered animal companion list.

oh, how interesting. PHB2 should've mentioned.

yeah, taking wasteland druid's a pretty good deal. you only give up stuff you don't care about anyway, plus you get to turn into cool stuff like giant enemy crab and leechwalker.
