[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 7662441, member: 63508"] One, The pet class gets to boost their pet. The pet-master's dog is stronger than a fighter's dog. Two, the pet class ALWAYS gets the pet. Look at the beastaster ranger. Remove the martial weapons, spells, extra attack and skills bonuses. Double all the ranger bonuses. Essentially, how many games do it is by having the "master" have a bond with the "pet". They balance it by having the master [B]suck[/B] and the pet a [B]monster[/B]. The beast tamer and his giant lion. The demonlogist and his bonded demon. The mob boss and the brutal thug. The crux of the problem is you can't have one player control 2 strong character. Either one of them must suck in the main conflict resolution system (combat) or both of them are meh. In most games, the master is physically wimpy and the pet is mentally wimpy or the master just gets a slight boost from the pet. It is very easy to screw up though. [/QUOTE]
