| + | {{:Yagura:SRD:Druid's Animal Companion}} |
| − | | |
| − | A druid who ceases to revere nature or teaches the Druidic language to a nondruid loses all spells and druid abilities (including his animal companion, but not including weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). He cannot thereafter gain levels as a druid until he atones (see the [[SRD:Atonement|atonement]] spell description).

| − | ====The Druid's Animal Companion====
| |
| − | | |
| − | A [[Yagura:SRD:Druid|druid]]’s [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion is different from a [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|normal animal]] of its kind in many ways. A [[Yagura:SRD:Druid|druid]]’s [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion is superior to a normal [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] of its kind and has special [[Yagura:SRD:Powers|powers]], as described below.

| − | '''<span id="Animal Companion Basics">Animal Companion Basics</span>:''' Use the base statistics for a creature of the companion’s kind, but make the following changes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Class Level">Class Level</span>:'' Your [[Yagura:SRD:Druid|druid]] level. Your class levels stack with levels of any other [[Yagura:SRD:Classes|classes]] that are entitled to an [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion for the purpose of determining the companion’s abilities and the alternative lists available.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Bonus HD">Bonus HD</span>:'' Extra eight-sided (d8) [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]], each of which gains a [[Yagura:SRD:Constitution|Consitution]] modifier, as normal. Remember that extra [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] improve the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion’s base attack and base save bonuses. An [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion’s [[Yagura:SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] is the same as that of a [[Yagura:SRD:Druid|druid]] of a level equal to the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]]’s [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. An [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion has good [[Yagura:SRD:Fortitude Save|Fortitude]] and [[Yagura:SRD:Reflex Save|Reflex saves]] (treat it as a character whose level equals the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]]’s [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]). An [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion gains additional [[Yagura:SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] and [[Yagura:SRD:Feats|feats]] for bonus [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] as normal for advancing a monster’s [[Yagura:SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]]. | |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Natural Armor Adj.">Natural Armor Adj.</span>:'' The number noted here is an improvement to the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion’s existing [[Yagura:SRD:Natural Armor Bonus|natural armor bonus]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Str/Dex Adj.">Str/Dex Adj.</span>:'' Add this value to the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion’s [[Yagura:SRD:Strength|Strength]] and [[Yagura:SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] scores.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Bonus Tricks">Bonus Tricks</span>:'' The value given in this column is the total number of “bonus” tricks that the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] knows in addition to any that you might choose to teach it (see the [[Yagura:SRD:Handle Animal Skill|Handle Animal]] skill). These bonus tricks don’t require any training time or [[Yagura:SRD:Handle Animal Skill|Handle Animal]] checks, and they don’t count against the normal limit of tricks known by the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]]. You select these bonus tricks, and once selected, they can’t be changed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Link">Link</span> ([[Yagura:SRD:Ex#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' You can handle your [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion as a [[Yagura:SRD:Free Actions|free action]], or push it as a [[Yagura:SRD:Move Actions|move action]], even if you don't have any ranks in the [[Yagura:SRD:Handle Animal Skill|Handle Animal]] skill. You gain a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and [[Yagura:SRD:Handle Animal Skill|Handle Animal]] checks made regarding an [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Share Spells">Share Spells</span> ([[Yagura:SRD:Ex#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' At your option, you may have any spell (but not any [[Yagura:SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like ability]]) you cast upon yourself also affect your [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion. The [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion must be within 5 feet of you at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] again, even if it returns to you before the duration expires.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally, you may cast a spell with a target of “You” on your [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on yourself. You and your [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type ([[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Evasion">Evasion</span> ([[Yagura:SRD:Ex#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' If an [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Devotion">Devotion</span> ([[Yagura:SRD:Ex#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' An [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion gains a +4 morale bonus on [[Yagura:SRD:Will Save|Will saves]] against enchantment spells and effects.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Multiattack">Multiattack</span>:'' An [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion gains [[Yagura:SRD:Multiattack|Multiattack]] as a bonus [[Yagura:SRD:Feats|feat]] if it has three or more natural attacks and does not already have that [[Yagura:SRD:Feats|feat]]. If it does not have the requisite three or more natural attacks, the [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion instead gains a second attack with its primary [[Yagura:SRD:Natural Weapon|natural weapon]], albeit at a –5 penalty.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''<span id="Improved Evasion">[[Yagura:SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Improved Evasion|Improved Evasion]]</span> ([[Yagura:SRD:Ex#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' When subjected to an attack that normally allows a [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] for half damage, an [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion takes no damage if it makes a successful [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] and only half damage if the [[Yagura:SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] fails.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''<span id="Alternative Animal Companions">Alternative Animal Companions</span>:''' If high enough level you can select your [[Yagura:SRD:Animal Type|animal]] companion from one of the following lists, applying the indicated adjustment to your druid level (in parentheses) for purposes of determining the companion’s characteristics and special abilities.
