12-30-05, 05:06 PM As an animal companion gains bonus hit die, does it's size increase? I haven't found anything the specifically says yes or no.

The main reason for this question is that an urban ranger can only have an animal companion of up to medium size. It would kind of suck for him if his wolf buddy he's had from level 4 suddenly grew to big for him to keep.

Through spells or through regular animal HD advancement (which may require you to get an "advanced" animal as a new companion if your DM even allows this), yes. Otherwise, no.
