[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 1672170, member: 94"] We can break a lot of classes down at any given level and they won't seem "balanced." The CR1 mage has very little chance against the CR1 cleric or fighter. I just like to consistently mention animal companions (and, yes, cohorts) as one of the things the system can track, because, yes, the animal companion can be too valuable at low levels and pull too much weight. It makes the druid as powerful as two (or more) men. If you forced me to split hairs, I'd say I think it's a little different from the fighter's feats because the animal companion is an individual combatant. It can't always be true to core if your intent is to make it better than core. I [i]personally[/i] think it's "better" to track each individual combatant separately. As above-- track each combatant. It's a pretty distinct line. Though I fully understand the devil's advocate position-- I've fought my share of 1 CL = 1 CR battles (of which I think this is a tangent). Wulf [/QUOTE]
