Pack Master
Your spirit is one with the wolves and wild dogs who haunt the deep wilderness. They recognise you as both kin and alpha, the leader of the pack.
Prerequisites: Animal Soul
Benefits: You gain a dog, riding dog or wolf as an animal companion, exactly as the ranger class ability of the same name. This companion increases in strength in the same fashion as a ranger’s companion animal. Existing class levels gained before this feat is selected are halved for the purposes of determining the power of the animal companion; this halving is on top of the normal halving of levels to determine the power of the animal companion, meaning a barbarian who selected this feat at 12th level would only be considered 3rd level for the purposes of determining the power of his animal ally.
In addition, you gain the ability to improve the attitude of animals which are of the same type as your companion animal (dog, riding dog, wolf). This ability functions as the ranger’s wild empathy class ability, save that you add only ½ your barbarian levels to the check. If you have
levels in the ranger class, then you add those levels on a one for one basis to your barbarian levels.
Special: If you select this feat, you cannot also select Falcon Friend, Horse Lord or Whale Rider.
