Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Bowman of the Wild.
Animal Companion: At 1st level, a bowman of the wild gains the services of a loyal animal companion. Treat the bowman of the wild as a druid whose level is equal to the bowman of the wild's class level +4. A bowman of the wild can select one of the animals available to a 1st-level ranger or druid and then apply the modifications as appropriate for a 5th-level ranger or druid's animal companion, or she can select a typical version of one of the animals available to a 5th-level ranger or druid.
If a bowman of the wild already has an animal companion from another class, her bowman of the wild levels stack with class levels from all other classes that grant an animal companion. For example, a 3rd-level ranger or druid/2nd-level bowman of the wild would be treated as an 9th-level ranger or druid for the purpose of improving the statistics of her animal companion.
Ranged Power: Starting at 2nd level, a bowman of the wild becomes more skilled with a bow. A bowman of the wild adds +1d10 to damage rolls on all attacks using a bow. At 6th level, this increases to +2d10 and at 10th level, it increases to +3d10.

Speak w/ Animals: At 5th level, a bowman of the wild gains the ability to commune with nature. The bowman of the wild can use Speak w/ Animals at will as a spell-like ability.
