Cooldowns, not PP
What does PP mean in your preferred combat system?
Selected direction
The direction
Prefer cooldowns over traditional PP. Cooldowns create useful progression knobs: the trainer can develop permanent skills that reduce companion cooldowns, increase range or AoE, improve crit chance, enable double-crit effects and otherwise amplify companion abilities. This gives trainer growth a distinct identity: the trainer becomes better at enabling and shaping the companion’s combat output.

Examples in a prompt are not decisions unless the answer chooses them.Still to decide in this chapter
Temporary evolution rules, affinity thresholds, recipe details and trainer tree structure need design. Example levels are illustrations, not balance targets.
