Whats funny is, due to the discussion in the discord about something else I stumbled across something GS does for ranger types. The chance to change companions, now granted I have no idea how they work in GS, nor what the coding is like.
But from the Animal companion reset writeup --> Outgrown your ocelot? Weary of your woodpecker? <--

Could some new ranger companions be thought up, maybe stealing a bit from GS's companions? Not sure how bad our system is compared to theirs, as far as adding new companions?

I also agree the time from young coon/wolf is quite long, its one of the reasons my couple rangers don't use theirs, which is a shame. Seconding a look into possibly reducing their glowup time a bit?
