[QUOTE="CM, post: 6384445, member: 18340"] Thanks PC. If you do use it, let me know how it goes. I haven't had an opportunity to do any playtesting with it. To address your questions: [LIST] [*]The 4e version of that ability specified a creature other than the original heal spell's target, but I don't think a few extra points of healing to the same target would be overpowered. [*]Yes. The 4e version of the spirit companion is fairly disposable. It can be one-shot by equal-level enemies. Many of your powers dismiss it, and you are constantly re-summoning it. I didn't really like the feel of that (constantly sacrificing your friend and companion?). I felt that being able to summon it repeatedly would let it become too much of a HP sink in 5e for enemies to waste attacks on, so I wanted to make it a little more precious. That said, I think I'll update the text of [I]Healing Spirit[/I] to allow the spirit itself to receive the free extra healing. [/LIST] Off the top of my head, with little thought put into it (balancing companion creatures is hard): New Feat [SIZE=3][B]ELDER SPIRIT[/B][/SIZE] Requires cleric, shamanism domain Your spirit companion gains the following benefits: [LIST] [*]+2 HP per level [*]+1 bonus to AC [*]It can be healed by spells and other magical effects. [*]When you summon a spirit companion, you choose two spirit boons to benefit from simultaneously. Your companion is still limited to one reaction per round of combat. [*]When your spirit companion attacks using [I]Vicious Spirit[/I], the damage done is equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom bonus. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
