Blighter requires the character to be an Ex-Druid. The PHB says that upon becoming an Ex-Druid, a Druid loses all spells and Druid abilities, including her animal companion.

07-06-07, 04:24 PM It probably should, it would at least give the class something useful. How it is right now is just terrible.

07-06-07, 05:55 PM My fixed blighter (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=857407) does just that, but using the original class, it runs off. You do not have an animal companion, though if you can find it, you could probably animate dead on it.
