I'm having a tough time choosing what animal companion my Hunter will take at 7th level.



At 7th level the hunter will have high Str but Dex of 14. 16 with animal focus.
Feats will be
Combat Reflexes, Combat Expertise, Pack Flanking, Improved Trip, Broken Wing Gambit, Paired Opportunists, and Power Attack.
He will ride his mount into combat and either cast Good Hope round one or try to trip the enemy. (Greater Trip at 9th level)
The animal companion will have Combat Reflexes, Narrow Frame, Power Attack, his Teamwork feats, and probably Toughness

Both animal companion options are pretty good.

Rhinoceros
Starting Statistics: Size Medium; Speed 40 ft.; AC +4 natural armor; Attack gore (1d8); Ability Scores Str 14, Dex 14, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 13, Cha 5; Special Qualities scent.
7th-Level Advancement: Size Large; AC +3 natural armor; Attack gore (2d6); Ability Scores Str +8, Dex -2, Con +4; Special Attacks powerful charge.

Powerful Charge is double damage on a charge attack. Even with Narrow Frame I don't think that will come up very often. I like the high Con and the wisdom bonus.

Ceratosaurus
Starting Statistics : Size Medium; Speed 40 ft.; AC +4 natural armor; Attack bite 1d8; Ability Scores Str 14, Dex 17, Con 11, Int 2, Wis 11, Cha 10; Special Qualities low-light vision, scent, trip.
7th-Level Advancement : Size Large; AC +2 natural armor; Attack bite 2d6; Ability Scores Str +8, Dex -2, Con +4; Special Qualities blood rage, ferocity.

Trip is fantastic and my companion will be pretty good at it. Blood Rage gives it +2 to Str and Con for 1 minute if injured and Ferocity lets it fight at 0 HP.
The higher Dex will let it take more attacks of opportunity. Not sure yet how often either of us will get enough per turn to run out. The lower Con is a bit of a worry.

Please give me some suggestions for feats that would be appropriate for this build.

Basic (rp) idea of the character: He's a druid in order to "tame" the wildness of nature and bring some order to it. Wants to get the plants to grow in neat orderly rows. He's also hunting for his family dog, who has run away - he joined the pathfinder society because it provides the best chance to go all over the place and look for the dog.

Basic (mechanics) idea of the character: I expect he'll be mainly a melee druid, relying on the ability to keep your weapons and armor when you wildshape into humanoid form to have fairly potent offense/defense while wildshaped and to team up with his AnC (Elasmotherium) to do some damage as melee frontliners, both with reach. Of course he'll also have some casting as needed, but I expect a lot of this will be for buffs or utility. I don't plan to wildshape into non-humanoid forms except when really needed, so I'm not planning to take Natural Spell. I also don't expect to do a lot of summoning, so I'm not planning to take Augment Summoning.

Being a Hellknight Signifier is mainly for fun rp (I like the combo with druid for hilarity), but it does keep my spellcasting fully leveled and because my AnC comes from my Domain, the Hellknight Signifier's catechesis ability will keep my AnC fully leveled (as long as I take Boon Companion to make up for the fact that the Domain AnC starts out 3 levels behind). I also gain heavy armor proficiency, proficiency in my order's weapon (not sure which this will be - I'm tempted by the lance and the idea of riding an Enlarged Elasmotherium, so my Large giant form riding on the Huge AnC, but I suspect this will be impractical most of the time in PFS).

So, two of my feats are spoken for: Warrior Priest (needed for the Hellknight Signifier prereq) and Boon Companion (to get my AnC up to full level). But otherwise I have no idea what the rest should be (i.e. levels 3, 7, 9, and 11). I know I could take some of the old stand-bys like Power Attack and Improved Initiative and Toughness, etc. but I'm more intrigued by building towards something more "fun", but I'm not sure what that might be. Any ideas? Maybe some Teamwork feats to work with the AnC? I'm considering Totem Beast at level 7 to boost the AnC's STR.

By the way, I've already played this character at level 2, so my basic stats etc are fixed.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.

In case anyone wants to head up to the Appalachian Mountains in the fall. This is a very nice Con in a beautiful location of Montreat College near Black Mountain, NC.

Very active PFS community.

I made the happy sound as I have found all my chronical sheets for my 1st character ever, Smar the Bloodrager .  Now I am ready to play a retirement arc with him.  Is there anyone interested in playing one, which one, and is there a GM out there ready to run one?  I would be up to meeting once or twice a month, or if weekend permits, playing through a Saturday and a sunday in a marathon session.  Anyone ready?

Is there a good place in Athens to look for minis? I'd like to avoid shopping online if I can.
