Animal Domain is a divine domain in Owlcat Pathfinder Games.

Domain Abilities (Except Warpriest)

CharmAnimal Animal Companion

At 4th level, you gain the service of an animal companion. Your effective druid level for this animal companion is equal to your level in the class[1] that gave you access to this domain –3. (Druids who take this ability through their nature bond class feature use their druid level –3 to determine the abilities of their animal companions).

Kingdom gm fx Blight Druid can select this domain but will not receive an animal companion.

Domain Blessings (Warpriest Only)

At 1st level, you can touch one ally and grant it feral features. The ally gains 2 claw attacks that each deal 1d6 points of damage if the ally is Medium or 1d4 if it's Small. These are primary natural attacks that replace any similar primary natural attacks the ally might have. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

SummonNaturesAllyV Battle Companion

At 10th level, you can summon a battle companion. This ability functions as Summon Nature's Ally V with a duration of 1 minute. This ability can summon only one animal, regardless of the list used. For every 2 levels beyond 10th, the level of the Summon Nature's Ally spell increases by 1 (to a maximum of Summon Nature's Ally IX at 18th level).

Strategy

This is widely considered the strongest domain, thanks to the power of an animal companion. You will want to spend a feat on Boon Companion to keep it on par with animal companions from other classes.

The Animal domain spells are nothing special, but that doesn't matter.
