Shaman Spirit Companion

Post by Glowing Mushroom »

I am am hoping to see something that directly represents the shaman's affinity to the spirits. A summonable Spirit companion that acts like a familiar. It can be possessed and spoken through. And it levels up to powerful levels through tiers if the Shaman class is taken to 30, similar to the Druid and Totems, with the most powerful final abilities coming at lvl 28. This would not only give them more RP goals and lore to work with and bolster the Shaman class for RPers, but it would give them a viable and strong summon that can be used for PvE/P in addition to their Circle summons.

You could choose how it would appear through a new RP NPC, similar for Druids and the Totem NPC.

It could appear as a whisp, shadow figure, or an ethereal animal of your choosing, or different types of ghosts with lighter colors to them.

Putting their abilities on par or above the Druid's animal companion would not only give them more practically in combat, (which they badly need) it would also open up many avenues of Roleplay for the Shaman. A way to personalize their story and the Spirit Companion they've chosen, be it a certain type of ghost or animal.

Denied, but only for administrative reasons. I approved a very similar suggestion already. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=30131
