Work in progress, just covering rough descriptions for the moment. Primarily working from the Core books, but supplements will be addressed as needed. This one'll probably take longer then the mage lists due to it being harder to figure out which class gets which spells (all spells up to 3rd level are also available to rangers of the appropriate levels).
(Covered all the Core book spells, I'll work on supplements later).
1st Level -
Animal Friendship -
On a failed save target animal joins the party in a manner similar to a familiar, except that they cannot be stowed. Each caster can only have 1 animal companion at a time, and the animal must have equal or fewer HD then the caster or the spell fails. If the animal companion dies the caster loses all divine spell-casting ability for 48 hours due to grief. A successful save to reduces it to 8 hours. Animal Friendship can be cast on an already bonded animal to release it from service without penalty.
