Why is it that the game designers seemingly hate the idea of a ranger having an animal companion as apposed to a summoned creature (spirit). To me it defeatst he purpose of being a beast master. Summoning an ally just boils it down to another spell which is cast for free. And if anyone says it's to mimic Drizz't's ability with Guenevyr, it should be noted that the panther is an unusual figurine of wonderous power and not a standard animal companion. Thoughts? Has anyone made any changes to their own game? If anyone ever saw the movie Beastmaster, he had actual animals to help him on his adventure. Oh and don't get me started on having to use my own actions to get the beast to do something.
