Make Youkai use the summoner's aptitude then. Problem solved.

I'd rather not force Aptitude on Summoners. Especially in the case of Corrupted Summoners who generally don't want the Sanctity that Aptitude would force on them. They already have Faith as a "tax" as is.

Honestly, Summoners do face numerous problems that prevent them from reaching their full potential outside of their Youkai stats. If anything, the Youkai are just one "extra skill" per turn for an upkeep cost of 17 FP per.



Personally, the issues are... (Spoiler tagged because the post is incomplete but I need to turn the comp off)

- Multiple reasons to remain disengaged, including:
- Friendship dropping if the Youkai is defeated; why risk it?
- PVE enemies largely ignoring Youkai to bumrush the summoner anyways, unless a Rogue, so youkai literally cannot physically tank for you.
- Their normal attacks being as bad as they are
- Their attacks having the range to them that they do; zero reason to get into melee range
- Halved healing from Malmelo so supporting them is a bitch unless they're all close by. (Less of an issue for Bonders)

Issues for the Summoner Themselves:
- Bonder gets fewer youkai, but can't revive them? Seems ass backards, no?

Feeling sick, need to rest for a bit. I'll finish this post later.
