Message: <blockquote data-quote="jkason" data-source="post: 5065041" data-attributes="member: 2710">Okay, so I got a look at the pages in Martial Power that don't seem to be in the Compendium, and I verified that Shai can use his own surges for Dyspeer if he's adjascent (also nice: When Shai takes the Second Wind action, Dyspeer can, too). So that conundrum is more or less solved for me.Of course, in looking I found yet another rule that I can't seem to find in Compendium, on commanding beast companions. Unlike 3.5e, companion defaults are to do nothing but stay near you; they don't act independently except in the case where the Ranger is incapacitated in some way. The page lists the action it takes to command a beast companion, which seems to be more or less the equivalent to what the action is. Attack is a standard action, Defend (take total defense), is standard, Move is move (and they can both move).Now, what's odd is that both the Defense and Move commands explicitly say that the ranger and companion can both take the action (or only one can if they so choose). So Shai and Dyspeer can both use his move action to move, or his standard action to go on defense. But Attack doesn't seem to have that qualifier, and didn't read like 3.5's 'attack' command (i.e. 'attack until foe is dead or otherwise commanded').So, does that mean--barring powers that let them both attack or spending action points--in any given round either Shai or Dyspeer can attack, but not both? jason</blockquote>
