[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7662366, member: 92511"] You have, no doubt, noticed that the you or your animal "do nothing" until 5th level...when you get Extra Attack...then you can do both no problem. But it seems to many, including yourself, that's not ok or "fun" enough? EDIT to add: And the Beast Companion isn't even coming into the picture until 3rd! You have all of 3rd and 4th level to "suffer" until you and your beast can both act. Also, telling it where to go doesn't require an action at all. So, for 2 levels, you can tell it where to go without taking anything "away" from you. But it can't attack "for" you without you taking a round to tell it to. After that, you have a second "Attack action" which you can use to direct your beast. I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm not saying it is how I would necessarily have designed it. But for the 2 quickie/minor levels [according to how they designed the game to be played] this matters, it seems to have garnered a HUGE amount of [to my view unnecessary] complaint. And those complaints, are fairly consistent. If what you're worried about, and define unilaterally, is "fun" more power to ya. [/QUOTE]
