02-27-07, 08:54 AM Hi fellows,

wanna ask you sth. about the spell (or spells related to it) "Bite of the Wolf"

or Charge of the Triceratops, or Bite of the Wererat/Werewolf

from "Spell Compendium".

What happens, if i cast one of these Spells on my Animal Companion. What happens to the attack of my Animal Companion ?

02-27-07, 09:17 AM Not entirely sure I understand your question... the spells lay out the benefits conferred quite handily. Are you asking would your animal comapnion lose its normal attack modes? If that is the question, it doesn't appear so, as the attack modes granted appear to be in addition to the normal attack bonuses.

Now, that said, if you have a triceratops animal companion, casting charge of the triceratops on it would probably have no effect. :)

They just function as written, if your DM is silly enough to allow them. They arnt perm effect

And a monster with already a bite or a slam attack?
does it retains it's old bite or only it's new one?

A bite with poison or a Vampire slam with energy drain, does this monster retains in its new form these abilitys?

It takes whichever is best.

Now, if there is some dispute as to which version of the attack is "better"... then I'd have to say its probably a DM call, though I'd take the spell chanted version. Sort of makes sense that the spell is replacing the existing fangs/horns/whatever with the spell's version.
