[QUOTE="Saagael, post: 5988597, member: 84839"] 1) Character also takes a -5 to attack rolls and grants combat advantage until the end of his next turn. 2) Unless the monster has threatening reach, you don't provoke opportunity attacks for moving towards a monster. 3) Components are conveniently measured in their worth in gold. You can buy or find components. Each ritual has a key skill,and those skills tell you the type of reagent necessary. Arcana requires alchemical reagents, Nature requires herbs and fungi and stuff, Heal requires holy incense. All rituals can use residuum as their components, however. 4) Same as it does for normal Shamans. The hybrid shaman just doesn't get the at-wills and powers associated with the spirit companion. 5) Do damage to them. They have the same defenses as the druid (minus temporary bonuses), and hit points equal to the summoner's bloodied value. I'm also fairly certain that when a summoned creature dies, the summoner loses a surge. 6) Yes, totems are like rods or wands for primal casters.
