I barely, and I mean barely, know anything about 4th or 5th edition D&D so I appologise for my ignorance. I know it's an actual D&D question but I don't use the Hasbro/WotC/D&D forums so I'll ask here in hopes that someone is kind enough to have a good answer. Why don't 5th edition druids have an animal companion? At least they don't in BG3 anyway. I remember 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition D&D a druid's animal companion was always a big draw to the class. Why was this taken away?
