I'm not the guy to justify or condemn 5e's approach to action economy for pet classes - I was writing within the established paradigm. If you want to alter that paradigm, go forth and hack these ideas, with my explicit blessing. =)Once the ghost is no longer present (perhaps by dropping to 0 hit points), your spectral companion can behave normally again. While the ghost is out and active, it has its own set of action, bonus action, reaction, and object action every round, separate from the Haunted fighter's.Thanks again for taking interest in this work. I hope my remarks here are helpful to you!</blockquote>
