Just FYI, the power level of this is probably somewhere between the level -3 companions and the level -6 companions, meaning it'll be a few levels before the Ghost Elk will count for Animal Companion bonuses. -Slitherrr
- What? It's a straight up animal companion. Or are you talking about the Dire Elk that's hidden down here?
- The REGULAR elk is roughly at the power of a warhorse, which has more HD and hits harder than any of the regular Animal Companions (level - 0), and a little less than the level - 3 ones. The Ghost Elk has better hit dice, better attack, counts as magical weapons for DR, so probably counts right at level - 3, or slightly above (hence, between level - 3 and level - 6). The Dire Elk is nothing less than a level - 9--compare it with the Polar Bear, which has four less HD and a lower attack bonus without slam in exchange for improved grab. -Slitherrr

- Well, since I threw a lot of that stuff (ex: magical weapon equiv thing - after all, it's ONLY the weakest attack, not all the attacks) in as flavor, we'll call it (level - 2) which *just so happens* to be the exact level Anise needs to be. Isn't it lucky she waited all this time? -gm
