[QUOTE="Joshua McKee, post: 9319206, member: 6986567"] From personal experience and what I can tell. Your companion numbers isn't exactly limited to 1 across the board. The way I see it is a companion unless otherwise stated is not the same as a druids companion. Last I checked each companion is unique to each class and is each companion does not benefit from all classes that use druid progression. It states with the animal companion ability the animal companion's level advances like a druid not as a druid and lvls in any other class that gives companions lvls stack. The problem with this stacking is that these other classes have to be treated as their respective druid counterpart. I.E. ranger is 1/2 class lvl as a druid (4ranger is a 2 druid) so the beastmasters pet is treated as a druid of 6th lvl for purpose of their pet. Any character can get multiple pets as long the companion is developed as the class along with respective stacks and non stacks. The animal affinity feat under it's raw and rai is for 1 companion and 1 only and must be chosen upon taken. The feat is designed to boost a characters edl so as a ranger say 4th is a edl2 with feat making a rangers edl 5. I'm this case it's not allowed as written. In this case player only gets to utilize 2 of the 3 boost. You can not get the 3rd lvl boost later sadly unless the DM says you can once you meet the requirements to benefit. [/QUOTE]
