Animal Companion Progression

Hi, all,

What is the level at which an animal companion stops scaling? There are some indirect implications on the NWN2 wiki that animal companions keep getting stronger up to level 33 with epic companion, but the chart stops at level 26 for improved companion stats. Does anyone have first-hand knowledge?

Since I created the new animal companions you get informations firsthand :D .

All druid companions scale up to Druid Level 33 (30 + epic companion). That is also true for improved animal companions.

Is it based on the original progression, or was the whole progression modified while the new companions were introduced ? I don't remember well the scaling system, but it seem to me it stopped before 30. Could be wrong !

I didnt change the progression but someone could have done it before me.

The 2da file says pets level up at 30 and 33 and I assume thats correct. However its easy tested at our test server if some tester wants to.

I believe animal companions go up to 19 without epic animal companion and 21 (or 20) with epic animal companion. That is with full progression and 30 character levels.

It was like that with my druid, months ago.

Full 30 progression with Epic Animal Companion is 23 levels. Just tested it. This was with one of the new companions, so I'm not sure if they received a 2 hd increase from that feat.

So are the new companions comparable to the dinosaur?

And does anyone know the rate in which these level. If at level 30 they are at 20 are they leveling any after the character goes epic?

Are the animal companion classes stacking? For instance that 27 Druid/3 cleric?

Awesome! Thanks!

Now how does natural bond work? Can it be used to offset the LA. Say a pie cleric ogre Mage, can they get to effective 30 lol with natural bond or does it require another class. If it does, does it act like practiced spell caster where just one class lvl activates the +ECL? Or does it simply give you a buy for three levels?
