The idea uses 5E's concept/encouraging of refluffing the details. Since Bards in 4E(I know I know but hear me out) were Primal in power source, that means they could use/call upon the Primal Spirits. Loreholds' Ancient Companion feature is basically just that: a Primal Spirit in a way. Even the statue that is used made me think of a Totem automatically once I read it. Meaning that the Bard/Shaman can summon a Primal Totem/Spirit and command its use. And then once its done/runs out of HP, said Spirit returns back to where it was summoned from. Plus the Ancient Companion, once your Bard reaches a PB score of 6, has a Passive Perception score of 24. Which to me, seems like a neat thing cuz I would expect a Primal Spirit to be a better sentry/spotter of things than the dumb Bard PC wasn't able to see cuz they were too busy trying to hook up with the pretty Tavern Girl serving the table.</blockquote>
