Trainer and companion grow differently
How should powers and skill trees differ between the player and companions?
Selected directionNew in Edition 3
The direction
Trainer and companion progression should not be identical. The trainer can have a permanent skill-tree-like layer that modifies companion performance - cooldown reduction, range, AoE, crit and support/healing/defense effects - while companions gain temporary run powers plus permanent starting-level/evolution progression. Exact tree structure and branch examples still need design.
