Lol sorry about that guess I did kind of go off on my own tangent didnt I?
I actually liked your idea alot about having the beast companions as additional abilities the heroes could have, and I think you made it pretty balanced in your description as well.
I do appreciate your feedback on the idea I put out though; does seen really overpowered with what you pointed out, will rethink something out like that and post another thread later
I look forward to seeing what you've got in mind!
Happy clashing,
