Rules
- Most aspects of your Animal Companion are based on your character level.
- Any alignment. Druids in the wild are generally chaotic, but some consider the system of the world to be perfection and are lawful in order to maintain its cycles.
- A druid or ranger can use the Wild Empathy ability on Plant and Vermin. This does not so much indicate that the druid charms these unintelligent creatures; rather the ranger knows how to act in order not to trigger their attack response and trigger other, social responses instead. Consider most plants and vermin to have an initial attitude of hostile.
- Druids and rangers can summon certain Vermin using summon nature's ally spells.
- The special restrictions noted for Wild Shape are not used. Instead, use the revised polymorph spell description.
- All druids able to wild shape gain Wild Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat at level 5.
