It's also written on there that animal companions are treated the effective level of their masters for the purpose of the table. It stops them from falling behind too far at higher levels, and balances out since enemies also get the benefit of the table and stops you from needing to outfit them with various trinkets.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>A normal animal companion gains an upgrade at 4th or 7th. this normally is to a larger size to include +sre/con and normally a - to dex as well as harder atts and more abilities...does this still apply?<br/>How about the plues gained from the companion chart +to str amd dex:: +to natural ac etc...I would gues that like a character they do not get the ability increases shown...not that they will need it<br/><br/>Phaia
