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

By the way, the way this compares to the Heavy Warhorse:
- 4 more Str (so 2 more damage on his attacks)
- Add special attack: Charge
- Add attack: Gore (with the same damage and bonus as bite, and substitutable for it on a full attack, so I don't know why. Maybe in case he gets tetanus?)
- Remove feat: Run
- Add feat: Alertness
- 1 less HD, which means 1 less base attack and 1 less each of Fort and Ref saves
Everything else is the same, or doesn't matter. -Slitherrr
