New Feat: Outsider Companion

 The old version of the Diabolist prestige class included the stats for an imp companion and I thought it was very cool. We could let it as it was or use the stats as a blueprint for OTHER familiars-companions? Obviously the latter! I had to create some of them from scratch, though. You will see their monster stats in future books/posts.

Outsider Companion

You have acquired an extraplanar being in piace of an animal companion.

Prerequisites: Knowledge (planes) 4 ranks; Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks; animal companion with an effective druid level of 4; must worship a deity.

Benefit: You replace your animal companion with a friendly outsider that serves the same deity you worship and must have an alignment within one step of yours. Your companion is loyal to you (though ultimately loyal to your patron deity).

The companion advances in level as a normal animal companion, though its hit dice, BAB, saving throws, and skill points are calculated as per an outsider. An outsider companion can select any feats it qualifies for; it doesn’t gain bonus tricks, but acquires new abilities as it advances in level, as specified in each outsider companion’s description. You also have an empathic link with your outsider companion, as if it were a familiar.

The following outsider companions are available:
