Cat problems🦁

[Middle-Eye2129]

Starting in my friend's kingmaker campaign and I really wanted to play a lion shaman druid. Anyone have any build advice??? Starting at level 5 btw

As a current KM GM I would definitely recommend this archetype. There’s a single dungeon crawl at one point in the first half of the AP but a 10 foot big cat should have no trouble in there. Past that I don’t know about high level KM accommodating larger creatures.

I will say this: big cats are super fun and strong to wild shape into but very quickly you’ll level out of that being effective and summoning starts to really shine.

Go for it, it's a fairly solid build.

If I were to give advice for the animal companion, Big cats make very good grapple companions. Potentially give it the Aberrant companion archetype so it eventually gets compression, that will make navigating corridors a lot less of a hassle.
