I think they first updated A.C. to make it more special, then noticed it should have less HD than the Druid level to compensate for the extra bonuses (it advances 2 HD per 3 druid levels), and finally decided to drop the option of multiple companions to avoid complications.Which is a pity, because a druid with a pack of small companions made sense and was quite effective too, IMHO.Maybe (maybe) if you really want more companions you can try to split the druid levels and use each "slice" for a different companion, for example a druid of level 10 could be allowed to have 2 a.c. each as a druid of level 5, or any other combination. If you go this way, let us know how it works  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
