To me, they bog down the game, either make the character and their pet way too weak without the other OR break the action economy and give players too much of an advantage. I played a Shepperd Druid for a while and there was hardly any combat that couldn't be made incredibly easier by dropping 8 (buffed) wolves on it, but it was a pain to control.. But I know a lot of people enjoy them and I totally understand the appeal of the concepts! Wether one fateful companion or a cool summon, It's a cool idea that I don't think D&D has ever done properly. I also don't have a lot of experience with other game system and I love to consult you lot about games you've experienced! So here is my question: What games you've played do you think handles animal companions and/or summons the best? And what made it work for you?Thanks in advance! </blockquote>
