I think companion characters are meant to replace PCs on a 1 for 1 basis. They aren't quite as powerful as a PC but I think they're supposed to be pretty close. Course if you do decide to replace your whole party with companions like you said then you're probably right and you have to cut down on the number of monsters. I don't know if it's by half but maybe. By the way I thought of a 10th use for the companion rules:10) Absent Players: If you're like me you've had players announce they won't be able to make it to the next game even when their character is right in the middle of the adventure. You could have the PC fade into the background but that's not satisfying or you could have someone else run that PC but that can be hard for the person who has to run two characters. So why not use companion rules? If everyone is required to keep a leveled up "companion version" of their character then when they can't make it to game just play the companion version. Very simple.</blockquote>
