[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 7874692, member: 31465"] We played last night. The ranger (the original PHB ranger) has a wolf spider beast companion. The spider is treated like an extension of the character, is that how it is supposed to be? For instance, even if the spider is in another room, the player psychically controls the spider to do what she needs it to, at all times. Now this does make the ranger considerably more powerful so maybe I shouldn't complain, as it is an advantage no one else has, but it goes above and beyond what a Int 3 pet would be able to do. Sometimes she even has it communicate with other PCs by waving its mandibles to mime information. It's all rather silly but so far I have ignored and am just biding my time to have the spider devoured by something much larger that likes the taste of spider. The player - I'm quite sure - will be traumatized. She's very attached to Hazel the spider. Also, we had issues with reactions and when they reset, it got very complicated. Maybe we were tired. It was a 2.5 battle so our brains were taxed. [/QUOTE]
