Here's something I want to throw out to add to the discussion here on companion variety. Re. the issue of two druid companions, it occurred to me given all the ridiculous ret-conning that WotC has been engaging in recently, that Jaheira's base class may actually turn out to be sorcerer rather than druid. She comes across more as a sorcerer than a druid in everything shown of her so far anyway, and her original class was fighter-druid which we know for sure is no longer the case. So why not drop druid altogether? That way the ten companions are each their own separate class, leaving only bard and monk unrepresented. Just my take on how I think Jaheira may come out.
