how do you get a familiar to be animal companion?
IIRC, there is an explicit prohibition on having an animal companion be your familiar.
However, I recall hearing from someone that there is a char op trick to do so...
Can anyone explain the method to me?I do not have a superman complex; for I am God, not Superman!
the glass is always 100% full. Approximately 50% of its volume is full of dihydrogen monoxide and some dissolved solutes, and approx 50% a mixture of gasses known as "air" which contains roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.

UA variant.
Trades the familiar for an AC (of a druid half your level).
Also, maybe the Arcane Hierophant thing to stack familiar on your AC.

Arcane Hierophant PrC from RotW. It's a theurge class for Arcane/Druid, and makes your animal companion have familiar abilities as well.

Re: how do you get a familiar to be animal companion?
Could you just take the Wild Cohort feat and designate the familiar as your wild cohort?
A wild cohort is not an animal companion (benefits are slightly different, though nearly identical) so the normal prohibition wouldn't apply. And I don't believe the wild cohort feat description contains any prohibition on it either.I just published my first novella, Lúnasa Days, a modern fantasy with a subtle, uncertain magic.
You can grab it on Kindle or paperback.

Yeah, Arcane Hierophant is the key. Combine that with Beastmaster and Devoted Tracker and you can combine:
