I think it's also very likely that there will be a feat to raise the Spirit Companion's damage threshold, to maybe something like 15 or 20 +1/2 level.
I want the spirit of a green slime as my spirit guardian.
splat.
Yeah. Partly because I just don't like the connotation of the Spirit doing the work. I would expect the Spirit to be more like a Guide than, well, an attack dog. It just doesn't work when it comes out like this:Excellent idea Rechan. I think Shaman might be the class that is most apt to complete reflavouring.

I am viewing it more that the will of the Shaman helps to reinforce the spirit into being connected to the world/material realm. Thus too why the Shaman takes damage when the Spirit Companion disappears. So their essentially bonded to each other.
So while the Spirit Companion can still act as a guide and what not, which would be entirely RP-based for the most part. They together act as a united front in combat, with the Spirit Companion being the physical aspect and the Shaman reinforcing and letting the spirit act in this world.
Well their not even specifically animal spirits, by the official fluff their just "primal spirits of nature". So they could really look like anything you want, and if your fine with not going with the official fluff I think a spirits of the dead could work just as fine.I still very much hope that animal spirits is just one of the options for shamans. I hope we get spirits of the dead and nature spirits as well. Nature spirits could well only appear as paragon or epic level summons but spirits of the dead are a classic part of the shaman archetype.
