Animal Companion Progession

[blackmage5242]

Does the animal companion of say a druid still progress after level 20?
Say I have a druid that is level 25, will his animal companion be capped at level 20( +12HD, +12 AC, +6 Str/Dex ) or continue advancing to ( +16HD, +16 AC, +8 Str/Dex )?
If so where does it says that?

Ok thanks, cause I cant find it on the books I have.

You'll never find it in your books because the animal companion epic progression isn't in any books whatsoever.  The original 3.0 druid rules allowed for multiple companions but that was scrapped with the 3.5 update, so the progression a 3.5 animal companion would have in epic levels doesn't exist.

It isn't in the 3.0 to 3.5 update PDFs either (I just checked).  The SRD is, literally, the only place to get that progression now unless WotC has directly put out something of their own.

It is in the 3.5 DMG Errata

Epic Druid
Dungeon Master’s Guide, page 208
Problem: Druids no longer get multiple animal companions.
Solution: Replace the Animal Companion paragraph with the
following text:
Animal Companion: The epic druid’s animal companion
continues to increase in power. At every three levels higher
than 18th (21st, 24th, 27th, and so on), the companion gains
+2 bonus Hit Dice, its natural armor increases by 2, its
Strength and Dexterity modifiers increase by 1, and it learns
one additional bonus trick.
