Btw, consider incorporating the Rat Warden into the Warforged Warden. You have plenty of posting characters available for that.
I've been wanting to do that for a while, but time conspires against me. And with so many classes, it would be a rather significant undertaking.

When I first made the class, I picked a specific number of options. One animal for each combination of ability score preferences. One flying animal. And four aquatic animals. It seemed a good number. Later, I decided that I wanted to add rat, but it would be awkwardly out of place if I folded it into the main class, so I made it a variant.
