TabletopTweaks-Core VS ExpandedContent

Based on Pathfinder 1e, albeit with a lot of omissions and modifications. FYI there are mods to add features and bring it closer to PnP such as Tabletop Tweaks.

Tabletop Tweaks has four components: the main Core mod which acts as the foundation; then the subcomponents (Base, Reworks, Flanking) which are built on top of TTT Core. There's also third-party addons listed separately. Upside to this modularity is you only need to install the features you want; downside is each component has to be updated separately.

A Skald MC can take Azata path for Aivu; or Improved Mythic Trick (Lore Religion) for Animal domain. For a Skald mercenary or Companion, though, you're SOL unless you either use Toybox to enable Mythic Paths for other characters (which is buggy so YMMV whether it even works); or you install Tabletop Tweaks for Animal Ally feat. I used TTT to give Regill a mount that way.

I'm using Tabletop Tweaks to play a Crusader cleric of Erastil. With Deadeye's Blessing, I get WIS to hit with longbows without dipping Zen Archer so I don't delay my spells and benefit from spellbook merging. [Still need DEX for some ranged feats, though, so it's not a total dump stat.] Basically the idea is to focus on buff spells and ranged DPS for the first two Acts, then shift into a more caster-focused role later on with archery as a backup.

If you're using mods, Tabletop Tweaks adds the Animal Ally feat. Why settle for conventional pet classes when you can have, say, pure halfling Mutation Warrior on a leopard? Go crazy!

Plenty of mods that add spells. DarkCodex and ExpandedContent add probably the most.

Or you could use Expanded content mod that adds Ocean's Echo oracle archetype (oracle with bardic songs)

The ExpandedContent mod adds drakes as a level-able animal companion for certain archetypes. Git page https://github.com/ka-dyn/ExpandedContent

May I recommend the Expanded Content mod for all your dragon party needs?

Expanded content. Think this is the mod if not it is a mod that does it.

Looks like Expanded Content has Temple Champion.

[Expanded Content](https://github.com/ka-dyn/ExpandedContent) - Adds new classes, archetypes, backgrounds, traits, and religions for the player to choose from. All of which are module and can be turned off/on.

My personal faves are Expanded Content and Homebrew Archetypes.
