I would be hapy to lose our pets.
I went up to 9th level before seriously using a pet.
Give us spells so we are wanted in a group even at low levels so that we can
always find a group and I'll happily give up my pet for good. Even take
charm if ya like.
However Enchantments I see as a form of trade skill and people will want you
to create tehm for them at little or no cost but tehn when it comes to
partying ask waht you can do in a fight.
That are give you a pity spot in the party to keep those temp enchantments
coming. I dont see Enchantments having such a huge effect on our class no
matter what form they take.
