Wizard and warlock both have at will powers that are basic ranged attacks. You could add that if you want a power for the companion that isn't a basic attack you have to give up a power yourself in order to give that to them.  Hhhhmm... make it a multiclassing feat? Here's my take on the same feat:Honored Companion [Multiclass]Requirement: Level 2Benefit: By forgoing training in your class, you gain an honored companion. Restriction: You may not take this feat if you have a Class Feature that grants you a companion.You sacrifice a class feature of your choice when you take this feat. You gain an Honored Companion.Complete the statistics block below by following these rules:Select the race of your Honored CompanionGrant attributes with the standard array (16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10), and adding racial modifiers.Your Honored Companion is treated as being the same level as you.Your companion has hit points equal to 12, plus 6 times your level.All defenses are calculated according by applying the base 10, plus equipment modifiers and racial modifiers.Your companion gains training in one skillChoose a Companion role from Defender, Striker, or LeaderDefenders gain the benefit of the Student of the Sword, Soldier of the Faith, or Blade Initiate feats, and +2 to their Fortitude DefenseStrikers gain the benefit from either Sneak of Shadows, Pact Initiate or Warrior of the Wild, and +2 to ReflexLeaders gain the benefit of Student of Battle, or Initiate of the Faith and +2 to Will.All companions have simple melee, simple ranged, and light armor proficiencies.Your companion gains the same attribute increases at each level you do.Your companion has no action points, and healing surges equal to 1 + constitution modifier.Your Honored Companion starts with one non-magical melee weapon, non-magical armor, and an adventurer’s kit.Your Honored Companion is subject to the same restrictions as detailed under “Commanding a Beast Companion” and “Beast Companions and Healing” in the Martial Power source book, with the exception that your Honored Companion can only be raised using the Raise Dead ritual, and you do not gain any rituals from this feat.If your companion chooses any powers that don't count as basic melee or ranged attacks you must give up a power of equivalent level so they may have it.Does that look good? I hope you don't mind my "borrowing" of your feat, but it made a really good template.You may not retrain Honored Companion while your companion is not present and alive. You may not re-acquire this feat once you have retrained it. You may not acquire a new Honored Companion.</blockquote>
