Arcane casters can have familiars, and you could flavour it that your familiar is the one with the spellcasting - but familiars have minimal hitpoints and can generally be slain in a single hit.Rangers can have companions that are tough enough to take some hits, but their spellcasting capability is limited, and beastmaster rangers are generally considered fairly weak, even with revisions to the class.What you need is a way for you to have a spellcasting companion, while avoiding or mitigating both the advantages and disadvantages that come with controlling two characters.</blockquote>
