[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 7529450, member: 6780330"] Mearls did the math over his break, and the damage given and taken by a CR 1/4 creature that scales with level and has full independence over a maxed full adventure day (6-8 combat encounters of 2-3 rounds each) is the same as the Ranger's spell slot economy. He worked this idea overall out for the Shaper Psion subclass, which is a pet Psion that pours their slots into a mental projection pet, using the DMG table that gives the math for spell slot values in hit point terms (damage given and taken is the same in their model of the game). By the same token, a full Summoner Class seems to be good design space, though he has mentioned wanting to try these mechanics out with the Druid too... [/QUOTE]
