SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Here is the feat for easy reference (Complete Adventurer, p 111):

QuoteYour bond with your animal companion exceptionally is strong.

Prereq: Animal companion.

Benefit: Add 3 to you effective druid level to determine the bonus HD (and stuff) of your companion. Can't raise your effective druid level higher than your character level.

Is this working like I think it is? At druid level 7 I can get a dire wolf companion and give the bonus of a level 4 druid?

It means that you can raise you druid level for purposes of animal companions up to you total character level, max 3. Meaning, if you're a druid 7/rogue 3, you'd be considered a druid 10 for purposes of determining your animal companion's stats.

Yeah but better animals lower my druid levels... Say dire wolf (-6) with that feat would only be -3.

My interpretation.

Myself I think your both right :) at least in my games I would have it work in both of those cases.
"Dr.Who and CoC are, on the level of what the characters in it do, unbelievably freaking similar. The main difference is that in Dr. Who, Nyarlathotep is on your side, in the form of the Doctor."

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

Probably not what they intended, but I'd allow it.  It'd make animal companions suck a *little* less.  :)

Dang! I misread the title as "Natural Blondes" and dropped in for the jokes. Sigh! Disappointed again!

Until my druid could wildshape, my wolf was more effective than him :)
