Animal Companions Mod
For BG2:ToB / BGT / TuTu / (SoA) / BGEE / SoD / BG2EE / IWD1EE
 

What's it all about:
 
This mod aims to give Rangers (and possibly Druids, should you choose so) some unique flavor by
allowing them to befriend a permanent animal companion.
 
Overview:
 
With this mod, all ranger/druid characters will gain the 'Find Animal Companion' ability at level 1.
(Note for BGT players: Even though your character will gain the ability at level 1, you still need to get to level 3
in order to actually have success in finding an animal companion.)

Upon using your 'Find Animal Companion' ability, you will be able to pick an animal companion
from a list of available animals in your current area. (If there is no animal to your liking in a given
area, you can of course try it again in another area.)

Once you've picked your new animal friend, it will follow you around on your adventures and even
increase in power as you do.
 
For a more detailed overview, including all available animal companions, as well as information regarding compatibility and installation, please check out the readme!
