[QUOTE="ghearus, post: 4601525, member: 59105"] I will start off by saying that I wrote those rules half-cut, near 2:00 a.m., so I can't attest to the balance ;) That said, the ability to give your companion additional powers could be very unbalancing. When I designed the feat, honored companion, and the paragon path, I held in my head the principle that they would provide some basic attack options, and nothing else. If anything, I would add one (1) additional feat that would grant an at-will attack power from their class. This means that a Striker Companion would be able to take a Rogue attack power that they qualify for (bearing in mind that the only class feature they have from Rogues are Sneak Attack). [B]Experienced Companion[/B] [B]Prerequisite:[/B] Honored Companion feat Your honored companion gains one Level 1 at-will attack power from the class granted by its companion role. You may not take this feat more than once. [/QUOTE]
