boon companion busted?

[Nyx]

I just leveled Seelah to 4 (1 nature oracle with wolf companion, 3 paladin). my wolf is only level 3 even though I have the boon companion feat. I swear I'm finding all the bugs on this playthrough.

It worked last week when I was finishing up my most recent campaign. Had Lann go 3 ZA/17 Sacred Huntsmaster and his Smilodon was definitely keeping pace.

[Stink Bug]

I'm having the opposite "problem": I took the Impossible Domain, Animal on Solsiel and the new companion equals his cleric level WITHOUT boon companion, when it should be Cleric level – 3.

my wolf just leveled up after a random encounter. weird

Does the wolf then later advance with paladin levels (and get celestial template) if you pick mount instead of sword for paladin? Or are you simply locked out of the mount option?

I always liked the idea of Seelah being mounted but I hated the horse in my first playthrough (it's too large and in the way for inside maps, and the hooves are loud as ♥♥♥♥, and wolves are cool I guess) and was a bit upset that paladins apparently get no choice for what animal companion to choose and HAVE to pick horse.

this is the guide I'm using: https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/builds/Seelah


from there: "Oracle is there for good pet progression. Couldn’t be done any other way. "

so my understanding is once I get to level 5 paly with her, I'll be able to continue her divine bond ability with the oracle wolf instead of with a horse. I havent gotten there so hopefully the guide isnt lying to me lol

Huh, I too hope that guide isn't lying, because that sounds like something I'd want to do for my next playthrough's Seelah.

I do also wish there was a convenient way to give Regill a Velociraptor to ride into battle, just because that'd be some dumb fun, but he's already 6 levels into other classes when you get him. Too bad the hellknight domain feature doesn't include animal domain.

Your guide may be for the BETA!!!! AHMAZING! I seem to remember people mentioning that she could get a Smilodon.
Its a pet peeve of mine that so many creators do all this content on the betas, and have moved on to another game when it actually releases and their stuff is out of date.

I had this bug, but just saving and reloading made the level appear.

just hit level 6 and wanted to let you know that it let me continue Seelah's progression with the wolf companion, so no horse.

pretty glad it works after finding out this build is from beta lol!
