Hi guys, I have a build related question. I am planning to create a Mad Dog Lvl1 char, then switch to Fighter (and go all the way to 20 with Fighter).
Would boon companion feat make my pet continue to scale with my level, even if I'm fighter?
Someone on the inet said that boon companion is bugged and the pet won't scale when you multiclass, so if someone has tested this, please share your experience.
that's not what boon companion does in the tabletop, so i would hope not. it adds a flat level bonus for your pet, and is designed for rangers (since they don't get a pet until lv4, so the bonus makes the pet have level parity with them), though it can be used by other people if they want to dip and keep a full level pet.
Let's be clear, though, that the bonus is +4
up to a maximum of your HD. So in that sense, it's possible to "scale with fighter". Not that that would help in this particular instance in any way whatsoever, I just wanted to point out that it's not a flat +4.
I wonder how it works in PF:K. I know it works for Ekun and I know effective animal "druid-level" is tracked seperately. I know this because at lvl 7 i was trying things out and gave Ekun (who has Boon Companion) a class level (but not a character level) of Divine Huntsmaster (or whatever the Inquisitor class is called) and his wolf grew to Large as if it's effective druid level was 8.
I want to also point out that it's not necessarily made for Rangers. It is equally good for druids that multiclass, or a number of other classes that get full ajimal progression. That said, I don't kjow why someone would multiclass a druid in PF other than for the lulz. Multiclassing is largely a sucker's game in PF.
