#1 TheLoneCleric Mar 24, 2009 8:10:29	After giving the PHB2 a read I got me thinking about how the new Primal classes are going to interact with the Gray in Dark Sun. After a fashion they're perfect as the Shaman and Barbarian seem to be touching the spirit world itself and thereby interacting with the Gray directly. The Druid and the Warden present some issues, but not game breaking. I'm curious about your opinion about this interaction.

Tec had this to say about this very suject, in the 4th ed PHBII thread... A "Shaman" doesn't need to have a "ghost, wraith, insubstantial thing" for a companion. There is zero compelling mechanical reason for it to be required to be such a thing. It is nothing more than fluff, and is entirely mutable. It might be a wisp of air, or the earth rising up into a humanoid shape awash with roots and moss and plants and so on, or thousands of insects swarming, small animals from all around tying up key areas, a blazing ball of fire like a miniature version of the dark sun itself, a being composted of air, earth, fire and water in an ever-shifting variety, or any variety of window dressing to describe what is mechanically the Shaman's "Spirit Companion".
