All suggestions welcome!

Thanks!

07-11-07, 11:24 AM Small sea snakes are fantastic animal companions. The rules for converting vipers to sea snakes are in Stormwrack.

Perks - High Dex, small size and natural armor means they don't get hit very often, their poison has a +2 DC adjustment and does Con damage, Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat, small enough to be carried when on land, hold breath, swim speed, feats from Serpent Kingdoms like Spit Venom turn your little friend into a death ray.

Flaws - very slow on land, Int 1 so it only gets three tricks + AnCo bonus

Your animal companion only benefits from Shared Spells so long as it is five feet from you so its slow movement isn't that big a deal if you keep it close.
