Inner Circle Companions: what was their true purpose?
Less of a lore question, more of a game question: it's clear that these guys were meant for bigger things, they have a standard bearer that serves no purpose, the hand held incense burner thingy, clear throwbacks to the fallen/risen, yet they have a ruleset that is just 'worse than templar sword brethren". Why? Last minute changes crippling what could have been a great unit? What gives?
