So for example, she could have the Griffon be defensive and on it's round (it will get a separate initiative) it would just stick close to her and attack only the people 5 feet away from her. I was thinking of having her call out a command on what the Griffon would do in the entire combat round (with the exception of when she needs to flee, in which case she would run out of combat nullifying this command).

But also, since she isn't a ranger have some rules in terms of combat. Now my question is, if I would give this to her, how would I go about balancing it? I was thinking of having it as significantly weaker version of a Griffon, that levels up alongside her. I was gonna allow her to have a different weaker animal companion, but she wanted the Griffon specifically. I wasn't too keen on the balance of that idea but I didn't want to shoot her down completely. Users are able to see the poll votes before voting, in case they prefer.So recently one of my players has come up to me and asked if she could make a druid with a Griffon as her companion.One third of the number of total entries, rounded to the closest number.Such poll should permit users to vote in at most X entries, where X is:.20% of the final score shall be determined by the percentage of votes on a quick public poll (1-week-long only).10 points for creativity (how adequate to the theme it is, how coherent/consistent is the idea, how creatively thought it is).In this case, the maximum score is reduced to until 45 to that entry. When the judge concludes effects aren't totally applicable to a specific entry (in case the entry lacks effects, but doesn't need them), the criterion's weight may be reduced until 0 by him.5 points for effects (appropriate use of particles, ribbons, events.It is superior to a normal animal of its kind and has special powers, as described below. The companion is treated as a magical beast, not an animal, for the purpose of all effects that depend on its type (though it retains an animal’s HD, base attack bonus, saves, skill points, and feats). 5 points for mechanics (how well does this model work ingame) An animal companion is different from a normal animal of its kind in many ways.

Does it have too many seams? Is is blurry?)
