when i first made this character (at least the first version) i thought i read that beastmaster amazing tricks stack.

"Amazing Tricks"
-"The beastmaster's animal companion is far stronger than most. At 4th level, his effective level when determining the strength of his companion counts as though it was 2 higher. At 8th level, he counts as though he was 4 levels higher."

now im not seeing that and i cant remeber where i got the idea that it did stack. so before i get to deep into my expectations i want to confirm if it stacks.

not stacking. animal bond+4=5 making
animal 1 my level+5
animal 2 my level+2
animal 3 my level -1

stacking. animal bond+2+4=7 making
animal 1 my level+7
animal 2 my level+4
animal 3 my level+1

No, the Amazing Tricks bonus doesn't stack upon itself. Rather, the bonus is shifting from a +2 to a +4. So, your "not stacking" breakdown would be correct.

Yeah, it caps out at +4
