DMs are allowed to make exceptions in certain situations. [...] • They gain 1 feat per 3 Hit Dice as anyone else. These feats can only be taken from the PHB or the MM. All prerequisites apply. Additionally, the animal may not qualify for all of the MM feats. All of these feats are core for the creature. • Unless the AR says otherwise, they do not gain feats from any other source. Most ARs say, "You may gain a feat from source X…" not "You or your companion…" === That seems to be contradicted by LGCS 4.2, p. 25: === NPC ONLY FEATS: *The following feats are Core for animal companions, familiars, paladin mounts, and/or special cohorts. They are NPC Only for all others. === So, Tim, which is it? Are our animal companion feats limited to PH/MM only or can we use the expanded list on page 25? For example, my druid just hit level 6, so his 2 HD wolf has now advanced to 6 HD. He gets a new feat at 3 and 6 HD. Can I select Dive for Cover and Improved Toughness? And while I'm asking pesky questions, can I change out the wolf's two original feats (Track and Weapon Focus)? -- Ken Jenks
