Animal Companion Troubles
They are quite powerful especially with acid fang spell, but seem to have really poor support from UI. They do not have their own icon portrait (you have to click on model and press C to find out their stats and HP), which makes it troublesome to have them follow you around, and there is no information on what happens if they die in combat. I had mine die what seemed permanently, and had to backtrack, find its body in pile of dead enemies and use Resurrect scroll to get my bear back up. Do add hints if you can get new one on level up if that happens or if having to res them is intended. If it's intended, they should have their own little portrait, HP bar and hints how to handle them if they die etc.

nope, animal companions destroy. just need to prepare them well. ask lindzi to feed them sausages. and make your bear invisible with combat invisibility so no personnel to enemies.

Bow specialized animal domain Crusader Clerics seem like the most powerful combination in the game to me right now. You still want at least 1 sylvian sorc to buff them with mage spells, and Linzi to cast the nice bards song buff (on everyone), but a party with 5 animal companions (clerics and sorcs) is insane.

I messed up and went Barbarian (mad dog)/cleric for mine, but would recommend going pure cleric as wel...with the crusader (think that is the name) sub class. This lets you get composite longbow mastery on your clerics and still have tons of feats for additional bow damage (although 1 feat is taken up by boon companion to get a full level animal companion).

If you go human, you can get a nice 16 str/18 dex/14 con/16 wis/7 int/7 cha setup (-2 dex for mercs). You get an additional bonus human feat as well, and +1 skill point (useful with the 7 int).

End up with pretty freaking decently high ranged damage, full cleric spells, and a very nice/hard to kill (and easy to heal with so many clerics) animal companion.

Sorc puts mage armor on em etc. Bard buffs everyone...and you destroy everything.
