What kind of "wolf" do you envision at level 20?Thing is, you will find that even if the "wolf" survives, the players will ask: "what's the point of having it along if it only does 7 points of damage?"You can't just split up a Ranger's projected DPR into two bodies. Say a level 20 Ranger is expected to do 40 DPR. So you say "it's balanced if the Ranger gets to do 33 and the Wolf 7, so all we need to do is maybe give the Wolf two attacks with a 50% hit rate on each".What that results in, is the world's weirdest level 20 critter. A critter that survives as a level 20 wolf but only deals damage as a, what, CR 2 beast?And yet, even so, the duo still claims more spotlight than a single character.</blockquote>
