[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7598347, member: 6919838"] If I were overly concerned about pets and balance from scratch, it would go more of the familiar route. Take some features of Find Familiar, Spiritual Weapon snd Smites to combine into a conjurable ally that your class features allow to be more effective in combat at the cost of your spell slots. That allows the up-ticks as you level to be metered by your gains in numbers of and levels of slots. For its extra survivability, a class feature allowing "bonded ally" or whatever its called that gives it resistance but your character gets the damage too. Let's you keep the original tier-1 beastie, and as you get more you do more for it. No need for huge monster snakes. That's the approach I would take but it's a lot of work and testing to arrive there. For me, the biggest flaws eith rsnge was the terrain and enemies needing more on-the- fly flexibility, not as much guessing where the game will be run. [/QUOTE]
