Animal Soul Biding[edit]
At 2nd level you share 100% of your soul with the animal and his aspects, unlocking Animal Technique listed below.
Switching Souls[edit]
At 5th level you can switch the minds if your animal companion controlling his actions and allowed to speak with your human body mouth

At 10th level you can, as a bonus action, switch positions with your animal on a 24h cooldown, resting will end the cooldown. When your animal takes fatal damage you can also switch positions and take the damage yourself.
Nature Reward[edit]
If you reach level 20th with your animal companion dead he will be resurrected, if you reach level 20th with your animal companion alive and didn't die along the journey you now can use Together Nature Force: with the souls already combined you now can combine your bodies and stats (humanoid look).
Animal Companions[edit]
When you level up the ability scores are equal to what the text states.
Ex: If you have 16 Dexterity and have a Brown Bear companion, the Brown Bear has 10 + "half Dexterity". This means the Brown Bear has 10 + (16 / 2) = 18 Dexterity.
An Animal Companion is an Forest Spirit so they don't need to eat but they can if you order(to hide something or whatever) but they need to sleep and regain energy
