What I tend to do in addition is remove spellcasting & replace with a subset, so eg my 5e Companion Paladin can Bless, Smite, & Lay on Hands, but not the full Pally spell range.You can select a small number of Classic Cleric spells, eg Cure Wounds, & Thunder-related spells, plus a class ability like Turn Undead, give him those and call it a day.The Paladin Companion IMC:Malenn, Paladin of MitraCohort (lover) of Hakeem.Human Armor Class 17 (+2 DEX +2 shield +3 CHA)Hit Points 56 (9d8 + 18) Healing Dice 4 (d8+2)Speed 30 ft.
