“Where be Razorbacks Tavern?… Well across the sea is where it be, in the new world where pirates are bold and live free. A tavern so fine it smells of the sea and with little red boars for good company. Get you some rum from the young lady, she might sing ya a tale for a gold piece or three. It be a long sail for you surely will see, but tell the young lass AHOY…. Savvy?”

Beastkeeper (Prestige Class)

(art by BobKehl on deviantart)

(Do you like animal companions? I like animal companions. One of the things about fifth edition that most disappointed me when I found out about it was learning that attacking with your animal companion costs a druid her action. You mean I can't kick the action economy in the shins with my pet dinosaur? What gives?

This is a PrC for a character who wants to really focus on her companion. I especially gave the Deadly Weapons ability because about 60% of animal companions in Pathfinder are just straight up Bad (which, to be clear, is very typical of the system), and this was an attempt to even the scales.)

Role: Beastkeepers fight side by side with their animal companion, gaining increased combat prowess for themselves and their animal. They are still divine spellcasters, however, although they progress more slowly. Alignment: Beastkeepers can be any alignment Hit Die: d10

Prerequisites

Skills: Handle Animal 5 ranks Feats: Animal Affinity Other: Animal companion with effective druid level 2 or greater

Skills Beastkeepers gain 2+Int mod skill ranks per level Class skills are Climb (Str), Handle Animal (Cha), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Ride (Dex), and Swim (Str)

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies

A beastkeeper gains proficiency with whips, light flails, and greatclubs.

Spells

Upon taking beastkeeper, a beastkeeper chooses one of the classes she has that grants divine spells. At the designated levels, she gains spells as though she had gained a level in that class. This only affects spells per day, spells known, and effective caster level. It does not affect other class abilities such as channel energy, domain abilities, or wild shape, although it does grant additional domain spell slots.

If a beastkeeper does not have a level in a class that grants divine spells, upon taking a level in a class that grants divine spells, she gains the benefit of this ability.

Companion Bond (Ex)

Levels in beastkeeper stack with levels that grant an animal companion for the purpose of determining the effective druid level for that companion.

Deadly Weapons (Ex)

A beastkeeper’s companion is especially powerful and dangerous for its kind. Upon taking the first level in beastkeeper or acquiring a new companion, a beastkeeper chooses one of the following for her companion;

A single unpaired natural attack’s damage dice becomes 1d10. The companion adds one and a half times his strength modifier damage with the attack.

A paired natural attack’s damage dice become 1d6 each.

Her companion gains a bonus animal feat.

Trained Handler (Ex)

A beastkeeper is an expert in dealing with animals. She adds her level in beastkeeper to her handle animal skill.

Weakening Fang (Su)

At level 2, a beastkeeper’s companion is able to resonate with its master’s actions and spells, making them a deadly team. Whenever a beastkeeper's animal companion deals damage to an opponent using his natural weapons, that opponent gains a -2 penalty to saves against spells cast by the beastkeeper for 1 minute. At level 6, this penalty becomes -3. This ability does not stack with itself.

Teamwork Feat

At levels 3 and 7 a beastkeeper chooses a teamwork feat she meets the prerequisites for. She and her animal companion gain that feat as a bonus feat, even if her animal companion does not meet the prerequisites.

Bonus Trick

At levels 4 and 8, a beastkeeper’s companion learns a bonus trick in addition to those gained by effective druid levels.

+2 Ability Bonus (Ex)

At levels 5 and 9, a beastkeeper’s companion becomes more capable. It gains a permanent +2 bonus to the ability score of the beastkeeper’s choice. This cannot raise an ability score over 22.

Combat Feat

At levels 5 and 9, a beastkeeper gains a bonus feat chosen from the combat feat list. Her animal companion does not gain that feat.

Pulse Fang (Su)

At level 10, the resonance between beastkeeper and companion grows stronger. The first time each round that a beastkeeper’s companion deals combat damage to a creature, the beastkeeper may, as an immediate action, make an attack against that creature or cast a spell that targets only that creature with a casting time of one standard action.
