Druid companion list: 4th (−3)
Stampede (Ex): A frightened herd of bison flees as a group in a random direction (but always away from the perceived source of danger). They literally run over anything of Large size or smaller that gets in their way, dealing 1d12 points of damage for each five bison in the herd (Reflex DC 18 half). The save DC is Strength-based.
Companion note: A 1st-level druid’s companion is completely typical for its kind. As the druid advances, the companion gains bonus HD, natural armor, Str/Dex, tricks, and special abilities per the Druid animal companion table. Alternative-list animals use the level adjustment in parentheses when determining those powers.
These herd animals can be aggressive when protecting young and during the mating season, but they generally prefer flight to fighting.
