For example, a pack master with an effective druid level of 4 can have one 4th-level companion, two 2nd-level companions, or one 1st-level and one 3rd-level companion.
Each time a pack master’s effective druid level increases, he must decide how to allocate the increase among his animal companions (including the option of adding a new 1st-level companion). Once an effective druid level is allocated to a particular companion, it cannot be redistributed while that companion is in the shifter’s service (he must release a companion or wait until a companion dies to allocate its levels to another companion). The share spells animal companion ability does not give the shifter the ability to grant a single magical effect to all of his animal companions.
This replaces quick transformation and lingering transformation.
Improved Empathic Link (Su): At 6th level, the pack master gains an empathic link with all of his animal companions. This functions like an empathic link with a familiar, except the pack master can also see through a companion’s eyes as a swift action, maintaining this connection as long as he likes (as long as the companion is within 1 mile) and ending it as a free action. The pack master can only see through the eyes of one companion at a time, and is blinded while maintaining this connection.
This replaces the bestial trait gained at 6th level.
Pack Lord (Ex): At 20th level, each of the pack master’s animal companions gains a +4 bonus to their effective druid level, to a maximum equal to the pack master’s effective druid level.
This replaces second skin.
