the other must remain merged with her She can change which companion she has active when preparing her spells for the day A monster tamer can store additional companion monsters in this way at 9th, 13th, 17th, and 20th level Swap Companion (Ex): At 11th level, a monster tamer gains the ability to exchange her companion monster for one she has stored with adopt monster She can this once per day as a full- 61
